Are You A Good Candidate For a Mini-Facelift?

A mini-facelift is often the right solution for patients experiencing less severe signs of aging. It produces significant results without the need for extensive surgery. You get long-lasting results and less scarring. The procedure can be performed using a local anesthetic, and the incision scar is hidden along the hairline and the ear. No one needs to know you recently underwent surgery. All anyone notices is your more youthful appearance.

Benefits of a Mini Facelift
Mini-facelifts are less extensive, creating natural-looking results that are not obvious when performed for earlier aging changes. The recovery time is much quicker, measured in days not weeks. The post-procedure pain is limited to a few days and easily managed with oral medication. Bruising and swelling are significantly less. Plus, patients don’t need to worry about the risks and recovery associated with using general anesthesia. 

Risks Associated with a Mini Facelift
Even though a mini-facelift requires less surgery time than a full facelift, there are some potential risks common to any surgical procedure. Bleeding, infection, reaction to medications, and possible nerve damage are potential risks, though rarely encountered during or after the procedure. Patients should expect to experience some temporary numbness. Any numbness typically subsides after a few weeks of the procedure.
