 

MINI FACELIFT IN LOUISVILLE, KY

UNDERSTANDING THE MINI FACELIFT PROCEDURE

A mini facelift addresses early signs of facial aging by tightening
loose skin on the lower half of the face, including cheeks, jaw, and
neck. This less invasive approach targets the "turkey neck" area with
precision and minimal surgical intervention.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During a mini facelift, incisions are strategically placed following
the natural curve of the ear around the hairline. This technique
allows for subtle yet transformative facial rejuvenation with minimal
scarring.

CANDIDACY FOR MINI FACELIFT

 	* Patients experiencing early signs of facial aging
	* Individuals with mild skin laxity in lower face and neck
	* Patients seeking a less invasive facial rejuvenation option

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Patients can expect a relatively quick recovery from a mini facelift.
Most individuals are up and about within a day or two, though it's
recommended to take it easy during the first week after surgery.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* First week: Rest and gentle care
	* First two weeks: Expect swelling and potential bruising
	* By third week: Most patients return to work and normal activities

POST-PROCEDURE CARE

Patients should be gentle with their face and hair, as the skin will
be tender and potentially numb. Special camouflage makeup can help
mask bruising during the healing process.

BENEFITS OF MINI FACELIFT

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

MINI FACELIFT LEXINGTON, KY | DR. STEPHEN A. SCHANTZ, MD

UNDERSTANDING THE MINI FACELIFT PROCEDURE

A mini facelift is a targeted facial rejuvenation procedure designed
for patients aged 35 to 50 who are experiencing early signs of facial
aging. This surgical technique focuses on addressing loose skin along
the jawline and lower facial region with minimal recovery time.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During the mini facelift, Dr. Stephen A. Schantz makes a short
incision in front of the ear, allowing precise tissue repositioning.
The procedure involves:

 	* Re-suspending underlying facial tissues
	* Removing excess skin
	* Smoothing wrinkles
	* Redefining the jawline

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI FACELIFT

Patients may be excellent mini facelift candidates if they experience:

 	* Sagging in the cheek area
	* Visible jowls
	* Deep creases around the mouth
	* Loss of youthful neck and chin contours

SURGICAL APPROACH AND ANESTHESIA

Dr. Schantz typically performs mini facelifts using local anesthesia
with monitored intravenous sedation, often referred to as "twilight"
anesthesia. This approach minimizes patient discomfort and promotes
faster recovery.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Most patients can expect the following recovery timeline:

 	* Dressing removal within 24 hours
	* Suture removal in 7-10 days
	* "Socially acceptable" appearance in 10-20 days
	* Final results visible in 4-6 weeks
	* Return to work in 2-3 weeks

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

procedures such as:

 	* Chin augmentation
	* Eyelid lift
	* Neck liposuction
	* Laser skin resurfacing
