What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address mild to moderate signs of aging, particularly in the lower face and neck areas. Dr. Sadati has developed a breakthrough facial muscle-tightening technique specifically for mini facelifts, which is considered the next generation of high-definition facial rejuvenation.

What is not addressed by a facelift?

While facelifts are effective at addressing sagging skin and restoring a youthful appearance to the lower face and neck, they don’t treat issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage directly. This is because facelifts primarily focus on repositioning and tightening the underlying muscles and tissues, rather than improving the texture and quality of the skin itself.

Mini Facelift Benefits

A mini facelift offers plenty of benefits that make it a popular choice for people looking to refresh their appearance without committing to a more extensive procedure. It’s designed for those who want subtle, natural-looking improvements and a quick recovery. Here are some of the key perks:

  • Look Naturally Refreshed: Tightens sagging skin in the lower face and jawline, giving you a firmer, more youthful look.
  • Defined Jawline: Smooths out jowls, restoring a sharp, clean jawline.
  • Neck Rejuvenation: Addresses mild sagging or laxity in the neck area, giving it a more sculpted appearance.
  • Quick Recovery: You’ll bounce back faster than with a full facelift, typically resuming daily activities in about a week or two.
  • Minimal Scarring: The incisions are small and placed in discreet areas around your ears and hairline, so scars are barely noticeable.
  • No "Overdone" Look: You’ll look refreshed and vibrant—like you, just younger and more energized.
  • Boost in Confidence: Many patients find that they feel more confident in how they look and are excited to face the world again.
  • Customizable: You can combine it with treatments like Botox or fillers to target other areas, creating a well-rounded rejuvenation.

Am I a candidate for a Mini Facelift?

To determine if a mini facelift is right for you, it’s important to first have a consultation. During the consultation for a mini facelift Newport Beach facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kevin Sadati, can evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to create an individualized treatment plan. Some of the common concerns that can be addressed with this procedure include:

  • Sagging skin in the lower face
  • Laxity in the neck area
  • Drooping eyelids
  • Hollowed cheeks
  • Marionette lines
  • Frown lines
  • Mild jowls

Consultation and Preparation

At the consultation, Dr. Sadati will perform a comprehensive facial assessment and discuss your treatment expectations to determine if you are a good candidate for the mini facelift procedure. To achieve optimal results, he may also recommend combining this procedure with other treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing or filler injections. During your consultation, you will be given instructions on how to prepare for the procedure.

The Mini Facelift Procedure

Dr. Sadati will administer local anesthesia and twilight sedation before beginning the procedure to ensure patient comfort. He will then make small incisions, typically around the ears and hairline. These incisions allow the surgeon to access the underlying facial tissues and muscles. The surgeon then repositions and tightens these structures to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The skin is then redraped, and any excess is removed. Last, the incisions are closed using sutures. The length of the mini facelift procedure can vary depending on the individual patient’s cosmetic needs, but it generally takes between 75 minutes to 2 hours to complete.

Mini Facelift Results

You’ll notice improvements right after your mini facelift, with the biggest changes becoming visible as swelling and bruising subside. Over the next several weeks, the final results will take shape, revealing a smoother, firmer lower face and jawline. Patients often describe their results as natural-looking, providing a refreshed version of themselves rather than a dramatic change.

Mini Facelift Recovery Timeline

Recovery from a mini facelift is relatively quick compared to more extensive procedures:

  • First Few Days: Expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses.
  • 1 Week: Most patients are able to return to light activities and feel more comfortable resuming daily routines.
  • 2 Weeks: Swelling and bruising continue to diminish, and many patients feel confident enough to return to social events or work. Dr. Sadati and his team will provide detailed instructions to ensure smooth and stress-free recovery.

Long-Term Maintenance and Aftercare

Maintaining your mini facelift results over the years is key to preserving your youthful look. Dr. Sadati emphasizes the importance of a long-term skincare and wellness plan, which may include:

  • Sunscreen and Skin Protection: Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily to prevent UV damage and maintain skin elasticity.
  • Professional Skincare Treatments: Consider regular facials, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing to keep your skin smooth and glowing.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, proper hydration, and avoiding smoking all contribute to prolonged results.
  • Non-Surgical Enhancements: Periodic touch-ups with Botox, fillers, or skin-tightening treatments can refine and enhance your look over time.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Routine check-ins with Dr. Sadati ensure your results are holding up well and allow for personalized maintenance recommendations.

What’s the Difference Between a Mini Facelift and a Full Facelift?

It all comes down to what you’re trying to achieve and how much rejuvenation you need.

  • Mini Facelift: Think of it as a targeted solution. It focuses on the lower face and jawline, ideal for addressing early signs of aging like mild sagging or jowls. It’s less invasive, has smaller incisions, and a quicker recovery.
  • Full Facelift: This is a more comprehensive option for people with more advanced aging concerns. It tackles the midface, lower face, and neck for a dramatic transformation. Recovery is a little longer, but the results are more extensive and last longer.

Dr. Sadati can help you figure out which option makes the most sense for you during your consultation.
