Firmer features, a more youthful appearance
The mini facelift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at correcting facial aging (cheeks, jawline, marionette lines).
It is a suitable option for patients who want a visible yet subtle result without undergoing a full facelift.
Benefits
- Shorter procedure with quick recovery
- Discrete, nearly invisible scars
- Natural results without altering facial features
- Rejuvenation by 8–12 years
Who is the mini facelift suitable for?
- • People over 45 years old
- • Patients with mild sagging skin around the jawline and cheeks
- • Those who want to improve their facial contour without a long recovery period
- • Patients who want natural results without a “tightened face” look
What does the procedure entail?
- • It is performed under local anesthesia
- • The incisions are short and well hidden in the natural folds in front of the ear (at the sideburn area)
- • The excess skin is removed, and the deeper tissues (SMAS) are repositioned/tightened to restore the firmness of the facial contour
- • The procedure lasts, on average, 1.5 – 2 hours
- • The patient can go home immediately after the procedure
Recovery
- • Recovery is quick: most patients return to their usual activities within 7–10 days
- • Swelling and bruising are minimal compared to a full facelift
- • The stitches are removed after 7–10 days
- • The final result is achieved within a few weeks, with gradual improvement of the facial appearance
