The Mini Facelift Procedure

Anesthesia

Dr. Hanemann administers either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia for patient comfort during the procedure.

Incision Techniques

Depending on the desired outcome, Dr. Hanemann may use one of the following incision techniques:

• Traditional facelift incision
• Limited incision facelift
• Neck lift incision

Closing the Incisions

After the procedure, Dr. Hanemann carefully closes the incisions, ensuring they are well-concealed within the hairline and natural contours of the face and ear.
