Mini Facelift

Our mini facelift is a minor surgical procedure designed to make you look younger and slimmer by removing or reducing the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and heavy jowls. It differs from the traditional facelift as it is less invasive, uses shorter incisions, and focuses mostly on the lower part of the face.

WHAT IS THE MINI FACELIFT PROCEDURE?

A mini facelift, sometimes referred to as a short incision facelift or S-lift, uses localized incisions for a less invasive approach. Dr. Sedgh typically performs the procedure with local anesthesia, though options may vary based on individual needs.

  1. Incisions: Dr. Sedgh carefully places small incisions around the hairline and ear creases to access targeted areas, allowing for minimal scarring.
  2. Tissue Adjustment: Using precise techniques, Dr. Sedgh adjusts underlying facial tissues to create a firmer, lifted appearance.
  3. Closing and Finalizing: Once adjustments are complete, Dr. Sedgh closes the incisions with meticulous suturing, ensuring that scarring is minimal and hidden within natural creases.

FAQ: MINI FACELIFT

How long do mini facelift results last?
Mini facelift results can last from five to ten years, depending on factors like skin quality, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare. Dr. Sedgh can discuss maintenance options to help prolong results.

Will there be noticeable scars?
Dr. Sedgh strategically places incisions in natural creases around the ear and hairline, resulting in minimal and well-hidden scarring that fades over time.

Is a mini facelift painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following the procedure, but these are manageable with prescribed pain medications.

What is the difference between a mini facelift and a full facelift?
A mini facelift targets the lower face with smaller incisions, ideal for mild to moderate signs of aging, while a full facelift addresses more extensive aging signs across the entire face.

Can I combine a mini facelift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine a mini facelift with procedures such as eyelid surgery or skin resurfacing for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Sedgh will discuss the best options for your goals.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME FROM A MINI FACELIFT?

A mini facelift is most often performed as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Sedgh requires patients to arrange care for 48 hours after surgery. For non-local patients, the doctor’s team can help you arrange for a medically trained nurse or caregiver.

Unlike other facelift procedures, a mini facelift has a faster recovery period of one to two weeks. You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild pain or discomfort during the initial post-surgery period. You will have prescription pain medication to stay comfortable in the early stages of healing. The recovery time is rapid, and you can expect to return to your usual day-to-day activities a week after surgery.

PERSONALIZED AFTERCARE

Dr. Sedgh will personally follow your postoperative progress with multiple follow-up appointments over the next few weeks to months (starting on day one after surgery) to ensure your recovery is on track. He strongly believes in the importance of proper postoperative care in achieving the desired results, and you can expect individualized care, attention, and accessibility; a comforting and rewarding aspect of your journey under Dr. Sedgh’s care.
