Mini Facelift

When this patient came to see us, she was concerned about the early aging changes she was experiencing that primarily affected her jawline. Her main complaints were the formation of jowls and loss of facial contour in the lower part of the face. After assessing her facial features, skin texture and elasticity and discussing her rejuvenation goals, a surgical plan was created to address her concerns.

A mini facelift procedure was performed in our NYC office using local anesthesia with mild sedation to ensure the comfort of the patient throughout the surgery. The incisions were carefully placed curving around her ears, extending into the hairline behind the ears. The underlying muscle (or SMAS) was then lifted and tightened, establishing a youthful contour. 

For this patient, the mini facelift was able to effectively achieve a rejuvenated appearance, restoring jawline definition and eliminating the early onset of jowls. Note how the procedure also smoothed out and improved the look of wrinkles and lines around the mouth. The result is a natural-looking, vibrant transformation.
