The Mini Facelift
For many women, the development of laxity of the neck, loss of a clean jaw line and the development of jowls heralds the aging process. Many feel vivacious and energetic and feel that this aged appearance is not always synonymous with their inner energy and vitality. Women seek to improve their appearance but wish to avoid the complexity of a full facelift as well as the recovery time. For that reason, techniques have been developed that employ a limited anesthetic (using local anesthesia with sedation by our nursing personnel) limited incisions, and quicker recovery. We believe that these procedures are similar to surgical procedures have been advertized under such marketing labels as the “Lifestyle Lift®” and the “Quick Lift”, etc. Not all patients are good candidates for this limited procedure. For those that are good candidates, they can anticipate a relatively rapid return to their active lifestyle and a dramatic improvement in their appearance and their sense of well-being.
