What Is A Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift targets jowls, excess skin, and creases around the mouth—issues frequently linked to aging, gravity, reduced skin elasticity, genetics, sun damage, and loss of facial volume. If you're noticing signs of aging in the lower part of your face but aren't ready for a full facelift, a mini facelift could be the perfect solution.

Dr. White brings extensive experience in facial and reconstructive surgery, ensuring he will determine the best method to revitalize your appearance while achieving remarkably natural and youthful results.

What Are The Benefits Of A Mini Facelift?

The mini facelift offers an effective solution for New York residents seeking to rejuvenate the lower facial area and restore a youthful appearance. This procedure can significantly enhance your look by delivering a smoother, more vibrant complexion.

Key benefits of a mini facelift include:

  • Targeted removal of excess, sagging skin
  • Elevation and smoothing of tissues along the jawline and lower face
  • Tightening and lifting of the underlying facial muscles
  • Reduction of folds and wrinkles around the mouth and chin
  • Improvement in the appearance of the lower cheeks

Dr. White is dedicated to customizing each procedure to meet individual needs, ensuring a refreshed look that feels completely natural.

Am I A Good Candidate For A Mini Facelift In New York?

The ideal candidates for a mini facelift in New York City are individuals who desire a subtle enhancement to their appearance without opting for a full facelift. Typically, these candidates:

  • Have mild to moderate lower face sagging
  • Wish to reduce jowls and fine lines
  • Seek natural and subtle results
  • Possess good skin elasticity
  • Are not yet prepared for a full facelift
  • Are in good overall health
  • Desire minimal downtime
  • Are looking for a long-lasting, less invasive option

Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift usually takes about two hours and is performed under mild sedation and local anesthesia. The procedure starts with Dr. White making a small cut near the ear. He then lifts and secures the drooping tissues, smooths out the skin, and removes the excess. Dr. White repeats these steps on the other side of the face to ensure both sides look symmetrical.

Each mini facelift is tailored to the patient, sometimes including additional treatments like eyelid surgery, BOTOX injections, or lip augmentation for a fuller transformation. When choosing a surgeon, it's crucial to pick someone like Dr. White, who has extensive experience with the SMAS lifting technique.

This method addresses both skin looseness and the deeper muscles and tissues for results that are both long-lasting and natural-looking. In comparison, a mini facelift that only lifts the skin might not look as natural.

What To Expect During Mini Facelift Recovery

Recovery from a mini facelift is typically quicker than that from a full facelift. There is manageable discomfort and a rapid reduction in swelling and bruising, which usually resolve within a week to ten days.

It's important to keep your head elevated while awake and during sleep during the healing process. Sutures are typically removed around the one-week mark.

What Other Procedures Can Be Combined With A Mini Facelift?

Dr. White often combines the mini facelift with additional procedures for a more comprehensive transformation:

  • Neck lift: This procedure enhances the chin area and is typically performed using the same incisions as the mini facelift.
  • Brow lift: This addresses forehead lines and rejuvenates your overall expression.
  • Eyelid surgery: This repairs sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and crow’s feet, resulting in a refreshed appearance.
