A mini facelift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that, while following the principles of a conventional facelift, involves significantly less skin and muscle detachment and lasts only 2-2.5 hours. Furthermore, the patient can go home the same day as the surgery.
A mini facelift is recommended for those who are beginning to notice some sagging in their face. It is generally suitable for patients between 40 and 50 years old, although it can be performed on patients between 50 and 60 years old, with the aim of achieving subtle rejuvenation. In this regard, it will be important for the doctor to evaluate your face, including the skin and bone structure, in order to discuss the surgical options and make the best decision.
A mini facelift is always performed in an operating room and typically requires no more than 8 hours of hospitalization. It is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, according to the patient’s and doctor’s preferences. The procedure usually takes 2 to 3 hours because the incisions are minimal.
The mini-facelift offers great results by simplifying the procedure, thus becoming one of the most chosen techniques by those patients who prefer an easy and simpler rejuvenation than traditional facelift techniques.

After surgery, a small tube or drain may be placed behind the ears for a few days to drain any fluid that may accumulate. A light bandage is also usually applied. Discomfort after surgery is typically minimal, and if present, it is easily relieved with medication prescribed by your surgeon. It is normal to experience some numbness in certain areas of the skin, but this sensation disappears within a few weeks or months. You should keep your head elevated for a few days after surgery to reduce swelling.
