A mini facelift is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin on the lower half of the face and neck. It’s ideal for individuals who are starting to see mild to moderate signs of aging but aren’t ready for a full facelift. Dr. Lalezar offers a personalized mini facelift to help you reclaim your youthful beauty with minimal downtime.
Refresh Yourself Over The Weekend
A mini facelift, also known as a weekend facelift, is a less invasive version of a traditional facelift. It involves making small incisions along the hairline and under the chin and using these incisions to lift and tighten the skin on the lower half of the face and neck. Compared to a full facelift, a mini facelift involves a shorter recovery time, with most patients able to return to work and normal activities within a few days. That’s why it’s called the weekend facelift!
The Goals of Mini Facelift:
- Lighting and tightening skin on the lower half of the face
- Creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance
- Reversing mild to moderate signs of aging, such as wrinkles and jowls
- Correcting mild to moderate jowls, nasolabial folds, skin laxity, and double chin
- Enhancing your youthful appearance without a full facelift
Mini Facelift vs. Full Facelift
A mini facelift is a less invasive version of a traditional facelift and is typically used to address mild to moderate signs of aging on the lower half of the face and neck. It involves making small incisions along the hairline and under the chin and using these incisions to lift and tighten the skin.
A full facelift is a more comprehensive procedure that targets the entire face and neck, typically recommended for individuals with more advanced signs of aging.
Mini Facelift vs. Lower Facelift
A mini facelift and a lower facelift are similar, but they have some key differences. A mini facelift involves making small incisions to address mild to moderate signs of aging on the lower half of the face, ensuring minimal downtime. A lower facelift involves making larger incisions along the hairline to correct more advanced signs of aging on the lower face, such as prominent jowls and moderate to severe facial creases and folds.
Dr. Lalezar’s Surgical Technique
Dr. Lalezar is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing mini facelifts. During the mini facelift procedure, Dr. Lalezar will make small incisions along the hairline and under the chin. He will trim excess skin tissues and fat deposits from the lower face and neck, tighten the underlying muscles and create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. After making all necessary adjustments, he’ll suture the incisions.
Your Recovery Journey
After your mini facelift, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which should subside within a few days. You will receive detailed post-operative instructions to help you through the recovery process.
