MINI FACELIFT IN MELBOURNE, FL

A mini facelift is a very common procedure that tightens minor sagging around the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck. Less extensive than a full facelift, a mini facelift does not treat the area around the cheekbones. The procedure uses shorter incisions than a full facelift and requires less downtime. At Dermatology + Plastic Surgery, led by double board-certified plastic surgeon Rebecca Novo, MD, and board-certified dermatologist Anita Saluja, MD, the mini facelift is commonly performed on men and women residing in Melbourne, Viera, Brevard County, and nearby communities in Central Florida.

Why consider a Mini Facelift?

The mini facelift may be more suitable for some patients who want to address such problems as excess skin in the lower part of the face, the formation of jowls and other bulges along the jawline, and sagging skin in the chin and neck. This procedure may be recommended for patients who do not require much correction in the mid and upper facial region. The mini facelift may also be combined with other procedures such as liposuction to target specific problems and produce a more defined facial contour. The mini facelift offers advantages over a regular facelift, such as limited incisions and a shorter recovery period, with less scarring, bruising, and swelling.

Am I a good candidate For a Mini Facelift?

The mini facelift is ideal for younger patients who want to treat specific problems with prematurely sagging skin in the lower facial region. The mini facelift may also be recommended for patients who have had a facelift in the past but require a follow-up procedure after some years.

What can I expect from a Mini Facelift?

The mini facelift is an outpatient procedure that may be performed with general anesthesia. In some cases, local anesthesia may be used, as well as a topical anesthetic. The results of a mini facelift last between five and 10 years in most patients, depending on such factors as exposure to sunlight and environmental pollutants, hereditary conditions, age, and lifestyle.

Recovery after a Mini Facelift

You may experience mild discomfort such as soreness, bruising, redness, swelling, and a temporary numb sensation in the skin immediately following the procedure, but these symptoms subside naturally in a few days to weeks. Most patients are able to return home immediately after the procedure and resume light office work and non-strenuous activities within a week, with a gradual return to normal physical and social activities shortly afterward.
