Mini Facelift Port Jefferson Station, NY | Hillard Warm, MD, FACS

Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift, also known as an S-lift, offers patients a less invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. This procedure targets the lower two-thirds of the face, addressing signs of aging by lifting the skin of the cheeks, neck, and jowls while removing excess fat.

Procedure Techniques

The S-lift is distinguished by its unique S-shaped incision, strategically placed in front of the ear and typically hidden by the hairline and natural facial creases. This innovative technique provides a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal scarring.

Key Benefits of a Mini Facelift

• Less invasive than traditional facelift
• Shorter recovery time
• Natural-looking results
• Targeted facial rejuvenation

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Patients often combine the mini facelift with complementary procedures to achieve optimal results. Potential combinations include skin resurfacing or additional facial treatments to enhance overall facial appearance and address multiple aging concerns.

Procedure Details

The mini facelift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, with options for local anesthesia or IV sedation. The surgery takes approximately one to two hours, depending on individual patient needs and desired outcomes.

Realistic Expectations

While a mini facelift provides significant improvement, it does not stop the natural aging process. Results are long-lasting but will gradually change over time. Proper skincare and maintenance can help prolong the rejuvenating effects of the procedure.
