What makes a mini facelift different from a full facelift?
Many names have been given to the Mini Facelift procedure, including:
- “The lunchtime lift”,
- "The mini lift”
- “S-lift”
- And more
A Mini Facelift refers to a procedure that corrects the jowls and neck in individuals that do not display significant effects of aging in these areas.
The procedure will provide the patient with a more refined jaw line, while also contouring the neck to a smoother and slender appearance. This technique generally enhances these facial areas with less risk and less stress than a standard facelift.
Recovery time is also reduced, allowing those with busy schedules to heal in less time compared to the standard facelift.
Additionally, the cost of the Mini Facelift is less than the traditional procedure making it an attractive option for those looking to reduce minor sagging around the:
- Cheeks
- Jaw line
- Neck
Another benefit to a Mini Facelift is that it can be performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation, as opposed to general anesthesia. Patients who are considering a Mini Facelift in Philadelphia may also consider a Mid Facelift and Revision Facelift.
