A mini facelift at Maan Plastic Surgery rejuvenates your natural beauty by addressing early signs of aging, such as sagging skin and fine lines around the lower face and jawline. This minimally invasive procedure restores a youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining your unique features, helping you feel confident and revitalized.
Reverse early signs of facial aging
A mini facelift addresses early signs of aging in the lower face and jawline. This targeted treatment focuses on lifting and tightening sagging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and enhancing facial contours. Less invasive than a traditional facelift, the mini facelift involves smaller incisions and shorter recovery times while delivering noticeable, natural-looking results. Ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, this procedure rejuvenates your appearance by creating a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look.
Mini facelift corrects:
- Sagging skin in the lower face and jawline
- Mild jowls
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Loss of definition in facial contours
Candidates for a mini facelift:
- Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face
- Those experiencing early signs of jowls or sagging skin
- Adults in good overall health
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery
- Individuals with realistic expectations for subtle, natural-looking results
Your mini facelift session
During your mini facelift, Dr. Z will treat sagging skin and fine lines to restore youthful contours. The procedure typically involves small, discreet incisions near the hairline and around the ears. Through these incisions, Dr. Z carefully lifts and repositions underlying facial tissues to create a firmer, smoother appearance. Excess skin is trimmed, and the incisions are precisely closed to ensure natural-looking results. This focused approach targets the lower face and jawline, offering rejuvenation with less downtime than a full facelift.
Aftercare guidelines:
- Follow Dr. Z’s post-operative instructions closely
- Keep incisions clean and dry
- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Avoid strenuous activities for at least two to three weeks
- Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Z
- Protect your skin from direct sunlight using sunscreen or a hat
- Avoid smoking or alcohol to support healing
Your journey to recovery: side effects & downtime
After your mini facelift with Dr. Z, you may experience some temporary side effects, such as mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the treated areas. These are normal responses as your body heals and should gradually subside within a week or two. Dr. Z will provide detailed instructions on managing these symptoms, including advice on using cold compresses, prescribed medications, and keeping the area clean. Downtime is typically shorter than that for more extensive procedures, and many patients feel ready to resume light activities within a week. However, to allow for proper healing, it’s essential to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least two to three weeks. Dr. Z will monitor your progress during follow-up appointments and ensure smooth recovery, helping you enjoy your refreshed, rejuvenated appearance for years to come.
