Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift is a targeted surgical technique addressing sagging skin on the lower face. This innovative procedure involves less surgical dissection compared to traditional facelifts, making it an attractive option for patients seeking facial rejuvenation.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Anesthesia: Local or IV sedation
• Facility: In-office or accredited surgery center
• Recovery Time: 4-6 weeks
• Stitch Removal: 7-14 days post-procedure

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Patients experiencing mild to moderate skin drooping around the chin and neck are prime candidates for a mini facelift. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with minimal excess skin who want to avoid extensive surgical intervention.

Consultation and Preparation

During the initial consultation, Dr. Hurvitz will comprehensively review your medical history and conduct a physical examination. Patients should prepare by arranging transportation, securing post-operative assistance, and planning for adequate rest and recovery.

Surgical Procedure Details

The mini facelift is performed using local anesthesia or IV sedation. Dr. Hurvitz will make precise incisions, manipulate underlying tissue, and remove excess skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. The technique ensures minimal scarring and natural-looking results.

Recovery and Healing Process

Recovery from a mini facelift is typically shorter and more comfortable compared to traditional facelifts. Patients can expect some swelling and tenderness, which will gradually subside. Light activities can be resumed within 48 hours, with more strenuous exercises permitted after 4-6 weeks.

Cost Considerations

The total cost of a mini facelift varies based on individual factors. A personalized consultation with Dr. Hurvitz will provide a comprehensive understanding of potential expenses and expected outcomes.
