Mini Facelift Lancaster, OH | Jason B. Lichten, MD, FACS

What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a refined cosmetic procedure designed to address early signs of facial aging with minimal invasiveness. This technique focuses on the lower half of the face, utilizing smaller incisions to remove excess skin and tighten underlying facial tissues. Unlike a traditional facelift, the mini facelift offers a more targeted approach to facial rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift in Lancaster

Patients typically best suited for a mini facelift are individuals in their 40s or 50s experiencing mild to moderate facial sagging. Ideal candidates demonstrate:

• Minimal skin laxity around the jawline and neck
• Early signs of facial aging
• Good overall health
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking before the procedure

Procedure Details

The mini facelift procedure involves precise surgical techniques to rejuvenate the lower face. Dr. Lichten performs the surgery using local anesthesia with sedation, making small incisions near the hairline and around the ears. The underlying facial tissues are carefully rearranged to create a more youthful, lifted appearance.

Procedure Highlights

• Typically 3-4 hours in duration
• Smaller incisions compared to traditional facelift
• Targets lower face and jawline specifically
• Potential combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect a relatively straightforward recovery process. Initial swelling and bruising are normal and typically subside within one week. Full recovery takes several weeks, during which patients are advised to rest and follow post-operative instructions carefully.

Cost Considerations

The cost of a mini facelift varies based on individual patient needs and specific procedural requirements. Factors influencing pricing include anesthesia fees, surgical techniques, and overall complexity of the treatment.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Lichten may recommend complementing the mini facelift with additional treatments such as:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid surgery
• Laser treatments
• Chemical peels

Patient Consultation

A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Lichten is essential to determine candidacy and develop a personalized treatment plan. During this consultation, patients can discuss their aesthetic goals, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
