What is a Mini Face Lift?

Are you looking for a facelift with a fast recovery time? Do you want only a subtle change?

A number of different types of facelift are referred to as 'mini lifts', most of which are skin lifts only - leaving underlying tissue untouched. The neck is also left alone, so a mini lift is only really suitable for people in their 30's or 40's who are either not seeking dramatic imprivement, or who are undergoing several proceedures.

The mini facelift is also called the Limited Incision Lift, or the weekend lift. It is best for patients who do not have a severe degree of sagging in their face or neck. There is no incision into the hairline behind the ear and is very popular with younger paitents.

Mini-lift = mini results. Plus moving the skin while leaving the underlying tissues where they are puts too much strain on the skin, and could result in a stretched look. If the problem is minor enough for a weekend lift, you are better off with thermage.
