Mini Facelift in Bellevue, WA | Kristin J. Tarbet, MD

What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a targeted cosmetic procedure designed to address early signs of facial aging in the lower third of the face. Unlike a traditional full facelift, this procedure focuses on restoring definition to the jaw and reducing sagging skin around the mouth and lower cheeks.

Key Benefits of a Mini Facelift

Minimal invasive technique
Shorter recovery time
Targeted facial rejuvenation
Natural-looking results

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Patients typically best suited for a mini facelift are in their late 30s to early 50s, experiencing mild to moderate facial sagging. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking subtle facial enhancement without extensive surgery.

Procedure Details

Dr. Tarbet performs mini facelifts using carefully placed incisions around the ears. The procedure involves lifting underlying muscular tissues (SMAS) and removing excess skin to create a more youthful, defined appearance. Typically, the surgery takes approximately two hours.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a mini facelift is significantly shorter compared to a full facelift. Most patients can return to work within 7-14 days, with complete healing and final results visible within 9-12 months.

Potential Risks

Temporary numbness
Minor scarring
Potential anesthesia reactions
Minimal risk of infection

Every time we have been there it has been a long wait to be seen, one time for over an hour. Despite that, my mom did not to have her perform a Blepharoplasty. It is damn near impossible to get someone on the phone. I called when an issue arise a month after surgery. I had to call multiple times to get a call back. When they did call they asked me to email photos which I did. The assured me that they would respond before end of day. I still have not heard back and it has been over 24 hours. I have called twice today as well.

Dr. Tarbet is not only incredibly thorough in her examinations but she also listens to you as a patient and checks EVERY ASPECT that could be contributing to your condition; even if she is confident of what the likely causes are, she doesnt leave a stone unturned. Her time, eye contact (ie acknowledging you as a person before a patient), and compassion are very hard to find in conjunction with capability in healthcare today. 100% recommend!

I got a lip filler there and I requested that it only be put on the outline of my lip. Dr. Tarbet put the needle right into my lip and I ended up having a reaction of all these bumps on my lips. It was a nightmare. She didn’t really listen and always seemed like she was in a rush to get to the next patient. They didn’t fix it- all they did was have me sign something saying I won’t sue them

There is a reason Dr. Tarbet is always booked out, she's really that good in my experience. Thankfully, she has finally duplicated herself with nurse Natalia. Not that she hasn't had other wonderful staff (she has/does), but nurse Natalia does some treatments they weren't trained in. She has the same exact eye for aesthetics that Dr. Tarbet does and both are extremely detail oriented. Dr. Tarbet, nurse Natalia, and this clinic in general get my highest recommendation. If you see Dr. Tarbet, good chance there'll be a wait as her schedule is absolutely jam-packed (she may be a workaholic). But once she gets into the room you have her full and undivided attention, and I have never once felt rushed. If anything, she has a way of making you feel like nothing else matters (which may contribute to the wait, but you can't put a price on that level of personal attention and care). Not just stunning but she doesn't look even close to her age (they both look great!), which really inspires confidence when doing similar treatments. So just bring a book and know you are in excellent hands. With or without the wait, she is worth it. Nurse Natalia is also extremely knowledgeable (she was a doctor in Russia) and her schedule seems way more flexible. So she can be an especially good option if you want to get in sooner and/or will be in a time crunch. Shout out to Chris and Steve who are also top notch, and rest of the staff is very friendly. Overall, two thumbs up!
