With age, even youthful skin begins to show signs of change, especially in the lower face. Lines along your jaw, deep nasolabial folds, and early jowls can make you look older or more tired. While these changes are natural, a plastic surgeon can provide alternatives to a complete surgical facelift if you would like to rejuvenate your skin.
A mini facelift in Seattle is perfect for individuals looking to refresh their appearance without the extended downtime of a regular procedure. A mini facelift is a less invasive treatment that lifts and reshapes mid-to-lower facial tissues. This procedure is suitable for individuals in their 40s to early 60s or those who wish to reduce early signs of aging with a natural-looking approach.
What Are the Benefits of a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift, also known as a short scar facelift or S-lift, rejuvenates mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face and jawline. While a full facelift involves longer incisions and deep tissue repositioning, this procedure is a less extensive alternative, as it allows for smaller incisions and less dissection. Benefits of a mini facelift include:
- Reduced surgical time
- Less bruising and swelling
- Slightly softer, natural-looking results
- Faster recovery, usually within one to two weeks
This procedure rejuvenates your face without significantly altering your natural features. For some Seattle patients, a mini facelift can delay the need for a complete facelift by several years.
At PHASE Plastic Surgery, our team will evaluate your facial structure, skin elasticity, and goals to determine if you are the right candidate for this procedure. We can also combine a mini facelift with other surgeries, such as eyelid surgery or facial fat transfer, to deliver more complete facial rejuvenation results.
