Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift provides a less invasive approach to facial rejuvenation for patients experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging. Often referred to as an S-lift, MACS lift, or short scar facelift, this procedure offers significant improvements with minimal downtime.

Procedure Characteristics

• Less invasive than traditional facelift
• Shorter recovery period
• Targeted correction of lower face and jawline
• Can be performed using local anesthesia

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Patients considering a mini facelift in Marietta typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Generally good health
• Mild to moderate facial sagging
• Desire for minimal recovery time
• Non-smokers

Surgical Technique

The mini facelift involves creating small, strategic incisions around the ears. Through these incisions, underlying facial tissues are lifted and repositioned, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure typically takes less than two hours and can be performed in a surgical center.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a mini facelift is significantly shorter compared to a traditional facelift. Patients can expect reduced bruising and swelling, with most returning to normal activities within a few days. Results can last several years, though individual experiences may vary based on factors like age, lifestyle, and genetics.

Alternative Options

For patients with more extensive aging signs, alternative procedures such as a full facelift, neck lift, or nonsurgical treatments like Ellacor® skin tightening might be recommended.
