The Benefits of a Mini Facelift

Are you hesitant to try cosmetic surgery to treat your skin concerns? Perhaps you don’t have enough information about it. A mini facelift could be the perfect solution. A mini facelift is a facial rejuvenation technique designed to treat the signs of aging using a shorter incision than what we are used to in a traditional facelift. A mini facelift is also known as a short scar rhytidectomy. If you are looking to resolve minimal to moderate jowls, and neck skin laxity for a more youthful appearance, a mini facelift is a great option for you. At Sule Plastic Surgery, we offer effective mini facelifts to help you look and feel younger. You will deal with professionals that understand facial structures and cosmetic procedures. If you want natural-looking results from a mini facelift, contact us and schedule your appointment for a mini facelift in Dallas, TX. 

Mini facelift VS Traditional Facelift 

While a traditional facelift can give you great results, a mini facelift can achieve similar results while being less invasive and performed in a shorter period. A mini facelift is ideal for men and women that are starting to see the signs of aging and want to address a particular area of concern without a drastic transformation. A traditional facelift procedure may take more time to do and require more effort during the healing process. A mini facelift is the perfect choice for people that don’t want to commit to a big surgical procedure. Just as a traditional facelift would, a mini facelift can address sagging jowls, skin laxity, platysmal banding, and excessive skin on the neck. 

The Benefits of a Mini Facelift 

Mini facelift procedures offer an easy option to gain your desired results. While many people have different facial concerns, one thing is for sure, a mini facelift can benefit them all. 

Local Anesthetic 

When you choose to have a mini facelift, you don’t have to go under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia will benefit anyone sensitive to general anesthetic. The use of local anesthetic also reduces the recovery time required after your procedure. While a general anesthetic may mean that you must be driven home, local anesthesia wears off quicker. You will be able to drive yourself home after the procedure. 

Effective Results 

Although the procedure is easier than a traditional facelift in so many ways, it can still give you effective results. If you choose to have a mini facelift, the results you gain will be worthwhile. 

Not as Many Incisions 

Having a mini facelift procedure means you don’t have to undergo as many incisions as you would with a traditional facelift. During the process of a mini facelift, fewer incisions are made. This means the procedure is less invasive than a traditional facelift, resulting in a shorter healing period. 

Lower cost 

Of course, having less work done to your body means the cost will be lower too. This is because the procedure is minimally invasive and uses local anesthetic instead of general anesthetic. All these factors contribute towards a lower cost for your procedure. 

Less Pain 

Naturally, there is a certain amount of discomfort when undergoing any surgical procedure. Recovery time is directly related to the amount of discomfort you feel. However, due to the nature of a mini facelift, your discomfort will be much less severe, and the recovery period is not as lengthy. If you are one to opt for a relatively quick procedure that requires minimal downtime, a mini facelift may be for you. 

Less Potential Scarring 

Because there are small incisions during a mini facelift procedure, there is a lower chance of potential scarring. Incisions are usually made around the ears and hairline. Once the treated area has healed properly, scarring is minimal. 

Mini Facelift Initial Consultation

When you come in for your first appointment with us, we will conduct a physical exam and evaluate your genetics, skin type, and elasticity. Your cosmetic goals will also be discussed in full detail so that your goals are realistic and understood. 

Once a customized mini facelift plan is in place, you will receive a comprehensive explanation of the surgical procedure, and the expectations of the recovery period. At this point, if you have any questions about the procedure, they will be answered in detail to put your mind at rest and allow you to fully understand what a mini facelift procedure is. We strive to provide a comfortable experience while undergoing cosmetic surgery, and we do all we can to help you achieve your cosmetic goals with a smooth, stress-free recovery. 

How Long Does a Mini Facelift Last? 

Like all medical procedures, the longevity of a mini facelift depends on the individual. Results may vary from one person to the next. Most people can expect to benefit from the results of a mini facelift for 7 to 10 years before the signs of aging become visible again. Thereafter, a decision can be made to consider another treatment. Having said that, in most cases, people that have mini facelift surgery don’t opt for a second surgery years later because the initial results are so satisfactory.
