Mini Facelift in Glendale, CA

Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift, also known as an Hour Lift or Lunchtime Lift, is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to restore a youthful appearance to facial features. This innovative technique allows patients to achieve significant aesthetic improvements with minimal downtime.

Procedure Benefits

• Minimal surgical intervention
• Short recovery period (3-5 days)
• Immediate and long-lasting results
• Potential age reversal of 5-15 years

Who is a Candidate for a Mini Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a mini facelift include individuals experiencing early signs of facial aging such as:

• Mild skin sagging in cheeks
• Early jowl formation
• Loss of facial tissue elasticity
• Desire for subtle facial rejuvenation

Procedure Details

The mini facelift typically takes between one to one and a half hours. A local anesthetic and mild sedative are used to ensure patient comfort. The surgeon makes a small incision in front of the ear, lifts facial tissue, removes excess skin, and re-drapes the skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a mini facelift is significantly shorter compared to traditional facelifts. Patients can expect:

• Minimal post-procedure discomfort
• Ability to wear makeup the next day
• Suture removal after 6-8 days
• Gradual reduction in swelling

Long-Term Results

Results from a mini facelift can last between 5-15 years, depending on individual factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.
