Mini Facelift
A Subtle Lift for Natural Rejuvenation
What is Mini Facelift?
The Mini Facelift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address early signs of aging in the lower face and jawline. It is ideal for individuals looking for subtle, natural-looking results. The procedure lifts sagging skin, softens jowls, and restores a youthful contour without the downtime of a traditional facelift.
How it works
Dr. Yalon Dolev performs a Mini Facelift under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure. The Mini Facelift delivers targeted results by focusing on specific areas of concern. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours and includes meticulous steps:
Precise Incisions for Access
In a Mini Facelift, Dr. Dolev makes small, discreet incisions along the natural creases around the ears. These well-placed incisions allow access to the underlying facial structures while ensuring minimal visibility and scarring.
Lifting and Tightening
The procedure focuses on lifting the key underlying structural tissue supporting the face. Dr. Dolev carefully lifts and tightens this layer to restore definition and support to the lower face.
Repositioning and Refining the Skin
Once the underlying tissues are secured, excess skin is gently repositioned and trimmed away. This process smooths out the jawline and lower face, achieving a natural, refreshed appearance without creating unnecessary tension.
Closure
The incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure seamless healing and minimal scarring.
Focusing on the lower face and jawline, the Mini Facelift offers a subtle yet effective solution for addressing early signs of aging. This procedure restores a smoother, more youthful contour and is an excellent option for those seeking natural-looking rejuvenation through a less invasive approach.
Benefits of a Mini Facelift:
- Subtle Rejuvenation: Smooths and tightens sagging skin in the lower face and jawline for a refreshed, youthful look.
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions result in reduced scarring and a quicker recovery than a full facelift.
- Shorter Downtime: Patients can typically return to normal activities within a week.
- Natural-Looking Results: Achieves a refined, youthful appearance without looking overdone.
Long-Lasting Results
By addressing skin laxity and repositioning underlying tissues, the Mini Facelift provides natural, long-lasting results. While it does not stop the aging process, the improvements can be enjoyed for years to come, making it an excellent investment for those seeking to proactively address early signs of aging.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The Mini Facelift is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate sagging in the lower face. These patients often see jowls or loss of jawline definition. It is particularly suited for patients who are not ready for a full facelift. There is no set age for this procedure as skin laxity can depend on many factors such as weight loss, sun exposure and genetics amongst other things. Good candidates are in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results that can be achieved.
