What is a Mini-Facelift All About?

We made reference last week to a procedure which many people are now having in the US called a mini-facelift and many of you have been getting touch to find out more about what this procedure is and why so many are looking to have it done. For that reason why are going to give you the low down on what a mini-facelift is, why so many people are loving it and what to expect if you should happen to decide that this is the right type of procedure for you. This is a new and novel treatment which is changing the anti-aging landscape.

What is a Mini-Facelift

hanks to new techniques which have been discovered we can now help people to reverse the signs of aging with a mini-facelift. This follows a similar strategy as a standard facelift in that the cosmetic surgeon will make incisions in the side of the face and remove excess or sagging skin. Unlike the full facelift however a mini facelift is able to use smaller incisions and far less invasive techniques to remove small amount of excess and sagging skin. This is ideal then for people who are in their 40s and their 50s, who do not require the full facelift, but rather who just want to tweak their face in order to look fresher and younger.

The Procedure

Another greta benefit of this is the speed with which it can be completed in, with the procedure lasting just an hour to an hour and a half. This is done under local anesthetic which is also something that patients like and the small incisions are made in such a way that there is no scarring afterwards and minimal swelling. Because these incisions are made in the natural folds in the skin, they are very rarely visible post surgery.

Results

One key reason why so many are opting for this treatment in particular is because of the quality of the results and there are very, very few cases where the result has not been great. Patients will look more youthful, healthier and more energetic after they have had a Miami Facelift and this is of course why it is gaining such popularity around the country.

Recovery

The recovery of a full facelift can take weeks whereas the mini-facelift will see patients back on their feet in a matter of days. The swelling and the bruising is minimal and because of the fact that it is just local anesthetic that they are given, there is no additional recovery required.

Ultimately this is a procedure which is ideal for anyone in their 40s and 50s, it is much less invasive than a traditional lift and it is also cheaper than a full facelift. The procedure itself is easy and the recovery is swift, a wonderful option to fight back against signs of aging in your face.
