Mini Facelift
Achieve a more youthful appearance with a minimally invasive solution tailored to you.
Refresh Your Look with a Subtle and Natural Mini Facelift
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we specialize in mini facelift procedures that deliver natural-looking rejuvenation with shorter recovery times than traditional facelifts. Our customized approach uses smaller incisions around the ears to lift and reposition facial tissues, addressing early signs of aging in the lower face and neck.
We’ll work with you during a thorough consultation to create a tailored surgical plan that may include complementary treatments like dermal fillers or Botox. Most of our patients return to their routines within 1-2 weeks, enjoying results that last 5-7 years.

The Mini Facelift Procedure at Weniger Plastic Surgery
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we perform mini facelifts through a carefully planned, step-by-step process designed to enhance your facial appearance with minimal downtime. Our short scar facelift technique begins with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and assess your facial structure. We’ll create a customized surgical plan that targets your specific areas of concern.
During this quick recovery facelift procedure, we make discrete incisions around your ears, which are considerably smaller than those used in traditional facelifts. Through these minimal access points, we carefully lift and reposition the underlying facial tissues and muscles. This minimally invasive surgery allows us to address sagging skin and restore youthful contours to your lower face and neck area.
We use advanced surgical techniques that promote faster healing and reduce post-operative swelling. Most of our patients return to their regular activities within 7-10 days. Throughout your recovery, we’ll monitor your progress with scheduled follow-up appointments to facilitate proper healing. Our expertise in performing mini facelifts has consistently delivered natural-looking results that help our patients feel more confident about their appearance.
Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift Surgery
The mini facelift procedure we offer works best for specific individuals who meet certain physical and health criteria. We typically recommend this surgery for patients in their 40s to early 60s who are experiencing moderate signs of aging but don’t require extensive facial rejuvenation. These candidates often show early jowl formation and mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face and neck areas.
Ideal candidates maintain good overall health, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations about what jowl reduction and neck tightening can achieve. We look for patients with adequate skin elasticity, as this guarantees favorable facial contouring results. Those with mild to moderate sagging in the mid-face region and early signs of neck aging are particularly well-suited for this procedure.
We carefully evaluate each patient’s facial structure, skin quality, and aging patterns during consultation. The best candidates are those who want to address early signs of aging proactively but aren’t ready for a full facelift. Additionally, we ensure candidates are committed to maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to optimize long-term results.

Recovery and Results from Mini Facelift
Recovery milestones following a mini facelift typically span 1-2 weeks, with most patients returning to work and social activities after 10-14 days. We’ll provide detailed post-operative instructions to guarantee optimal healing, including guidance on sleeping position, medication management, and activity restrictions during your initial recovery phase.
Our limited incision facelift technique results in minimal scarring, which we carefully conceal within natural facial contours. You’ll notice initial swelling and bruising, but these effects gradually subside within the first week. The subtle facial enhancement becomes increasingly visible as healing progresses, with final results emerging over 2-3 months.
We’ve found that our mid-face lift approach delivers natural-looking results that can last 5-7 years. During your follow-up appointments, we’ll monitor your healing progress and address any concerns. Most patients experience tightening in the lower face and neck areas, with improved definition along the jawline. While results vary among individuals, we consistently achieve age-appropriate rejuvenation that maintains your natural facial expressions and characteristics. We recommend following our post-operative care guidelines precisely to maximize your long-term results.

Combining Mini Facelift with Other Rejuvenation Treatments
Many patients opt to pair their mini facelift with complementary procedures for enhanced facial rejuvenation. We often recommend combining this facial plastic surgery with other treatments to achieve more extensive results. Popular combinations include dermal fillers to restore lost volume, Botox for dynamic wrinkles, and laser resurfacing for skin texture improvement.
The mini facelift, sometimes called a weekend facelift, serves as an excellent foundation for a complete anti-aging procedure plan. We’ll evaluate your specific concerns and create a customized treatment strategy that may include neck liposuction, eyelid surgery, or brow lifting procedures. These combinations can address multiple signs of aging simultaneously while maintaining a natural-looking outcome.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which complementary procedures align with your goals and recovery timeline. Some non-surgical treatments can be performed during the same session as your mini facelift, while others may need to be scheduled before or after your surgery. By strategically combining procedures, we’re able to maximize your results while minimizing overall recovery time and creating more harmonious facial rejuvenation.

Benefits of Mini Facelift vs. Traditional Facelift
While traditional facelifts involve extensive incisions and longer recovery times, mini facelifts offer several distinct advantages for patients seeking facial rejuvenation. We perform this less invasive procedure using smaller incisions, which results in reduced scarring and faster healing for our patients. The mini facelift particularly targets early signs of aging in the lower face and neck areas.
We’ve found that our patients appreciate the shorter recovery period associated with mini facelifts, typically allowing them to return to their normal activities within 1-2 weeks. The procedure provides natural-looking results by subtly lifting and tightening the skin without creating an overdone appearance. Additionally, we can often perform mini facelifts under local anesthesia, reducing the risks associated with general anesthesia.
In our experience, the mini facelift delivers ideal results for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to address early signs of aging. This procedure effectively reduces jowling, tightens neck bands, and restores definition to the jawline while maintaining a more youthful, refreshed appearance that doesn’t look artificial or stretched.
While many believe dramatic changes are needed to look younger, we’ve found that subtle refinements through our mini facelift procedure often create the most striking transformations. At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we’re committed to helping you achieve results that will have others wondering about your secret – not your surgery. Let’s work together to reveal the naturally refreshed version of yourself you’ve always envisioned.
