The mini facelift offers great results by simplifying the procedure, making it one of the most popular techniques for patients who prefer an easy and simpler rejuvenation than traditional facelift techniques.
Who is this surgery intended for?
Mini facelifts are indicated for those who are beginning to notice a certain sagging of the face. It is indicated for patients between 40 and 50 years of age, although it can be performed on patients between 50 and 60 years of age, with the aim of achieving a discreet rejuvenation. In this regard, it will be important for the doctor to evaluate your face, including the skin and bony structures, in order to discuss the surgical possibilities and make the best decision.

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 placed. Discomfort after surgery is often minimal and, if present, is easily relieved with medication prescribed by your surgeon. It is normal for certain areas of the skin to be numb, but this sensation disappears in a few weeks or months. You will need to keep your head elevated for a few days after surgery to reduce swelling.
