A mini facelift may be a good option for you if you are interested in improving your appearance. Especially if you are hoping to minimize post-surgical scarring and bruising. As well as the hospital stay. This surgical procedure is ideal for people over the age of 40. It makes them look even younger than most full facelift patients.
One of the first visible signs of aging is the laxity of the tissues around the jawline, neck and lower cheeks. A mini facelift tightens this laxity in the lower face and can help you address unwanted signs of aging. And it happens at a stage before they become too pronounced, delaying the need for more extensive surgery later. The result looks natural and subtle and can easily be repeated 5 to 10 years later. This can preserve the youthful appearance achieved by the first intervention for longer.
The mini facelift procedure.
Depending on the case, a mini facelift can be performed with local or general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon will recommend the best option for your individual needs. This is a less invasive technique that allows the surgeon to tighten deep facial tissues through shorter incisions. These incisions are typically located along the hairline above each ear and/or in the natural folds around the ear. Through these incisions, the structural tissues around the cheeks are lifted and tightened to correct prominence, clarify the jawline, and rejuvenate a "tired" appearance.
