What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift, or minimal incision facelift, is a less invasive version of a traditional facelift, ideal for those who want to address less extreme signs of aging. By targeting the neck, jawline, and cheeks, a mini facelift tightens sagging skin and muscles, leaving a fresh, more youthful appearance that looks entirely natural. Unlike a full facelift, the mini facelift uses smaller incisions behind the ear, stopping short of the earlobe, or with incisions along the front of the ear that do not extend behind the ear. The incision sites are selected based on the individual condition of the patient. Despite its smaller scale, the results are subtle but dramatic, ideal for the early signs of facial aging.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Mini Facelift?

The ideal candidate for a mini facelift is typically under 50 years old, retains skin elasticity, and is in good general health. However, this procedure can be an excellent option for anyone looking to improve signs of aging, such as sagging facial muscles or loose skin in the neck and jawline. For those seeking a comprehensive rejuvenation, a mini facelift can be combined with other treatments, such as eyelid surgery or laser resurfacing.

How Long Do Mini Facelift Results Last?

The results of a mini facelift can last up to 10 years or more. Nothing can stop the passage of time, but throughout the years ahead, you will continue to look noticeably younger than your age. 

Recovering from a Mini Facelift

Recovery from a mini facelift is generally quicker than traditional facelift procedures. While you may experience some tightness, numbness, and bruising, most patients return to social activities within two to three weeks.

At W Cosmetic Surgery™, we offer advanced post-operative care, including nutritional support, light-based therapies, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) to speed up healing and reduce downtime. These treatments help minimize bruising and swelling, allowing you to return to your normal lifestyle faster.
