The mini facelift, also referred to as a week­end facelift, quick lift and for­mer­ly known as lifestyle lift pro­vides a solu­tion to the changes you see in your face as you age. It can help reduce vis­i­ble signs of aging, by tight­en­ing and firm­ing the cheeks, jaw­line and neck. The mini facelift is one of the most pop­u­lar types of facial reju­ve­na­tion pro­ce­dures per­formed today. The mini facelift’s rise in pop­u­lar­i­ty is like­ly due to its abil­i­ty to address the first signs of aging and sag­ging skin, and avoids the down­time of a more exten­sive facelift surgery.
