Mini Facelift in Louisville, KY

Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift addresses early signs of facial aging by tightening loose skin on the lower half of the face, including cheeks, jaw, and neck. This less invasive approach targets the "turkey neck" area with precision and minimal surgical intervention.

Surgical Technique

During a mini facelift, incisions are strategically placed following the natural curve of the ear around the hairline. This technique allows for subtle yet transformative facial rejuvenation with minimal scarring.

Candidacy for Mini Facelift

• Patients experiencing early signs of facial aging
• Individuals with mild skin laxity in lower face and neck
• Patients seeking a less invasive facial rejuvenation option

Recovery and Healing Process

Patients can expect a relatively quick recovery from a mini facelift. Most individuals are up and about within a day or two, though it's recommended to take it easy during the first week after surgery.

Recovery Timeline

• First week: Rest and gentle care
• First two weeks: Expect swelling and potential bruising
• By third week: Most patients return to work and normal activities

Post-Procedure Care

Patients should be gentle with their face and hair, as the skin will be tender and potentially numb. Special camouflage makeup can help mask bruising during the healing process.

Benefits of Mini Facelift

• Less invasive than traditional facelift
• Shorter recovery time
• Targeted facial rejuvenation
• Natural-looking results
