Mini Face Lift Information

Mini Face Lift | Doctor Filiberto

A mini face lift, which Dr. Filiberto is very experienced with, is a surgical procedure that is done to remove excessive facial skin and address wrinkles or neck folds. It is typically less invasive, requires less surgical effort and less recovery than a traditional face lift. Compared to a conventional face lift, a mini face lift is usually helpful for people who show mild to moderate signs of aging, and are typically in their thirties, forties and sometimes fifties. A mini face lift will address the excessive skin issues on a small region of the face, rather than tighten the skin on the entire face, as with a conventional face lift.

Sometimes this weekend face lift procedure is performed through a small incision usually located in the hairline region of the scalp, and in the ear area, which is associated with a lower scar visibility. A plastic surgeon will tighten and perform re-drapping of the skin of a particular face area using a small incision. A mini face lift is associated with a shorter healing period and costs less than the traditional procedure. Unlike full face lifts, mini face lifts are performed under local anesthesia, and require little pre-surgical patient preparation.

Although a mini face lift is a safe surgical procedure that offers excellent results to eligible patients, certain side effects and complications have been known to occur. However, if you discuss your preferences and your expectations with a highly trained and experienced plastic surgeon like Doctor Filiberto, you will receive professional advice about any potential risks and medical conditions that may affect your eligibility for a mini face lift. It is important to let the plastic surgeon know about any prescription medication you are currently taking because it may interfere with the surgical technique choice or with the recovery time. Specifically, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory steroid medication and certain ointments used for skin conditions may influence mini face lift surgery results, so make sure your doctor is up to date on your current drug regimen.
