Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A Mini Facelift is an innovative facial rejuvenation technique designed for patients seeking subtle yet significant improvements in facial contours. This procedure offers a targeted approach to addressing early signs of aging with minimal surgical intervention.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Candidates for a Mini Facelift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

  • Good overall health
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline
  • Early signs of facial aging
  • Excellent skin elasticity

Advantages of Mini Facelift

The Mini Facelift offers several unique benefits compared to traditional facelift procedures:

  • Shorter surgical time
  • Reduced recovery period
  • Lower cost
  • Potential for local anesthesia
  • Minimal scarring

Mini Facelift vs. Full Facelift: Understanding the Differences

While a Mini Facelift provides excellent results for certain patients, it may not be suitable for everyone. Moderate to severe skin laxity might require a full facelift procedure for optimal results.

Procedure Specifics

The Mini Rhytidectomy focuses on tightening the lower face and maintaining natural facial features. The technique involves smaller incisions and less extensive tissue manipulation compared to traditional facelifts.

I chose this place based off the reviews and seeing Dr. Mele appear on the news stating how he specializes in Blepharoplasty surgery. The staff was great and Dr. Mele seemed confident in knowing how to correct my problem. After the surgery I could start to tell a difference in appearance, however I still had some concerns. During my post op visits I would tell Dr. Mele that there are double creases in my eyes now and they are not even. Also one side still had excess skin that I felt could be removed. However Dr. Mele told me the double lines should go away and to not alter the other side as the incision line would be longer. As a surgeon I figured he knows whats best, but I am not completely satisfied with these results after 3 yrs of healing. My eyes are completely uneven and there are so many lines. When I smile I have crease in the corner now. I almost feel like I should’ve kept my fat pad of eyes for over 3k of work.

One of the best decisions I have made in 2023, Thank you Dr. Mele and staff for being so kind and patience with me. I love the removal of my extra weight on my stomach. Impress with how my clothes fit, can't wait for spring and summer, dresses, shorts. and clothing that flow, no more midsection, stopping clothing from flowing, hello baggy pants and loose dresses.

Dr. Mele is an exceptional surgeon who I can’t recommend enough. It’s really Dr. Mele’s commitment to excellence that sets him apart from other surgeons. I am a bit of a worrier especially when it comes to something as critical as my health. This however has not been an issue with Dr. Mele and his phenomenal administrative team. When I have a concern Dr. Mele not only listens but also makes time available to see me in person. This is your body, you want a surgeon that understands their job is not only to operate but ensure success after surgery. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Mele’s selfless approach to his time. It is truly admirable. Surgery is inherently frightening but with such a dedicated group of professionals, I feel reassured at every step. This is the kind of operation where you want to be early to your appointment just to spend time with the administrative staff. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found a not only an exceptional surgeon but equally talented support staff.
