Aging is a fact of life; you cannot stop the process but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to slow down the appearance of aging on your face. There are many cosmetic procedures that can treat lines, wrinkles and sagging skin/tissue. One option is the mini facelift. It is important to understand what this procedure can do, and what it does not. Here are some basics on a mini facelift and what you can expect.
For one, not all mini facelifts are the same. Each plastic surgeon may have a slightly different approach to this procedure. However, it usually involves lifting and tightening the jowls, neckline and check area. This can help with the following aging issues in the lower face:
- Deep nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth
- Bags under the eyes due to sagging cheek pads
- Smoothing lines around the mouth, nose and neckline
- Tightening jowls and improving definition in the cheeks and chin areas
Mini facelifts are designed for those who are just beginning to have sagging and lines in the lower face region and usually has less downtime than a full facelift. It does not generally address the brow or eyes. However, it can be combined with other cosmetic procedure that work on specific areas in the higher portions of the face. Those with more progressed aging may want to consider a full or deep plane facelift that is designed to have a more overall effect on the face.
To find out if a mini facelift is right for you, it is best to meet with a qualified plastic surgeon that offers this procedure. They can discuss what results you can expect and advise you on whether this procedure will give you the look you desire.
