Mini Facelift
A Mini Facelift is a great rejuvenation alternative for those individuals who are starting to experience the visible signs of aging. Sometimes known as the ‘weekend facelift’, the mini facelift is an option for those people in their 30-40s who are in the early stages of aging and do not want to wait for a more invasive treatments. People who are looking to stave off the effects of aging without the downtime time a traditional facelift would offer are excellent candidates.
A Mini Facelift focuses on specific target areas of the face that need ‘freshening’ up such as the cheeks, neck and nasolabial folds (those creases from the side of the nose to the mouth). Smaller incisions, quicker surgery and recovery times make this an attractive option for those who are not yet ready for a major surgical procedure. Generally Mini Facelifts are not designed to lift the brows or extremely sagging skin and the wrinkles around the eyes. Endoscopic Mini Facelift procedures can be done, using a surgical instrument with a small camera below the skin to keep incisions to a minimum as opposed to traditional surgical approach with larger incisions.
No matter how many precautions we take in our lives, eventually our skin is going to start to show the normal signs of aging. For those individuals who want to experience a smoother, younger appearance without being exposed to the risks and downtime associated with a traditional facelift, the Mini Facelift may be just the thing you need. The cost of the Mini Facelift makes it a particularly attractive option, usually less than half the price of a full facelift. If you are looking to turn back the clock, but are not yet ready for a major surgical procedure, discuss your options with a qualified board certified surgeon.
