How Effective Is A Mini Face-lift Procedure?

Are you afraid to face the world owing to the harsh effects of aging? Thankfully, modern medicine can help refine your look and give you a younger appearance. If you feel age is catching up with you, contact Dr. Heringer for a Scottsdale mini face-lift. At his practice, Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, you can have the most of your face-lift with minimal recovery time. Schedule your consultation to discover the benefits of a mini face-lift.

What Is a Mini Face-lift?

If you have minimal or no excess skin on your neck and jowls but desire to revitalize your appearance, a minor face-lift may be a good technique for you. Unlike a traditional facelift, a mini face-lift is less invasive and seeks to remove wrinkles and sagging skin in the lower areas of your face.

A mini face-lift differs from a standard face-lift since it is less intrusive. Both procedures are invasive cosmetic procedures that use incisions to remove and lift drooping skin.

Scarring is minimal, and recovery time is often quicker than with a complete face-lift. This is true because Dr. Heringer utilizes tiny incisions around your ear during mini face-lift surgery, an outpatient procedure.

Am I Eligible for a Mini Face-Lift?

You may be a suitable candidate for a mini face-lift if you want natural-looking results from a face-lift treatment and your skin has enough suppleness. Most men and women who tend to choose a mini face-lift are in their 40s and 50s, or even younger, and want to confront the early signs of aging. Moreover, if you have any of the following concerns, a mini face-lift may be the ideal solution:

·       Loosening neck skin.

·       Moderate jowls.

·       Desire for reduced downtime.

·       Moderate nasolabial (nose) folds.

·       Moderate lost facial volume.

·       Desire a more sculpted jawline.

Subject to your individual needs, lifestyle, and skin condition, Dr. Heringer may recommend several alternatives to help you look and feel your best regardless of your age.

Despite its name, a mini face-lift is still a major cosmetic procedure. It is vital to weigh all the benefits versus the costs and risks before undergoing any cosmetic surgery.

An eye lift or brow lift is sometimes combined with a mini face-lift to get the best results. Face-lifts only work on the lower half of the face, particularly the jawline and cheeks.

Recovery Process After a Mini-facelift

Since a mini face-lift is less invasive than a traditional face-lift, healing time is usually faster, especially if you are in good overall health and not a smoker. You can expect some downtime and take roughly ten days off work to let your swelling and bruises subside.

Dr. Heringer offers you step-by-step guidelines for managing side effects like discomfort, redness, and skin sensitivity. He also arranges for a follow-up visit to monitor your progress. After healing, he will tell you when it is safe to resume your typical activities.
