Mini-Facelift

A mini-facelift is a pro­ce­dure per­formed on those who desire a tighter, more refined jaw­line only. Some­times known as an ​“S‑Lift”, a mini-facelift is often the pro­ce­dure of choice for younger patients who are just begin­ning to notice droopy skin along their jaw­line and jowls. A mini-facelift dif­fers from a tra­di­tion­al facelift by hav­ing a short­er inci­sion and the tight­en­ing is done in a super­fi­cial tis­sue lay­er. This tech­nique min­i­mizes the risk of poten­tial com­pli­ca­tions and allows for a mini-facelift to be per­formed safe­ly in the office under local anes­the­sia. A mini-facelift can be done in con­junc­tion with lipo­suc­tion (chin area) to give the jaw­line even more def­i­n­i­tion. By remov­ing excess skin and tight­en­ing facial mus­cles you can achieve a more youth­ful look­ing jaw­line and profile.
