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.
