INTENDED RESULT
A more rested and youthful contour of the face.
PROCEDURE DECRIPTION
Facelifts vary in extent from mini to standard depending on the location and degree of the skin elasticity. The procedure is done in the office under a local anesthesia. The patient is awake but can have a mild oral sedative.
The incisions are hidden within the hairline and extend from slightly above the ear traveling down around the earlobe and ending right behind the ear. The subcutaneous layers of the face are tightened and facial skin is redraped and lifted. Excess skin is removed.
Sutures are removed on the 5th day. Bruising and swelling decreases in 7 – 10 days. Final result is evident in 4 – 6 weeks, or sooner, with continued improvement for several months.
OTHER OPTIONS
Additional procedures that would enhance the results of a mini facelift are Botox, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, Lip Augmentation, Foto Facials, Chemical Peels and MicroDermabrasion.
