Mini Facelift in NYC

At The Haus MD, Dr. Rothaus specializes in tailored facial procedures that deliver subtle, natural-looking results. A mini facelift can address early signs of aging without the extensive downtime associated with a full facelift, making it a popular choice among patients seeking a more refined, youthful look.

What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of definition in the jawline and lower face. This procedure involves smaller incisions and less extensive tissue manipulation than a full facelift, allowing for a quicker recovery while achieving noticeable results. A mini facelift aims to tighten loose skin and reposition underlying tissues for a refreshed, younger appearance.

Mini Facelift vs. Full Facelift

While both procedures aim to combat the signs of aging, the scope and technique of a mini facelift differ from a full facelift. Dr. Rothaus will recommend the best option based on your goals and the degree of correction needed:

• Mini Facelift: Focuses on the lower face and jawline, with smaller incisions and a less invasive approach. Ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
• Full Facelift: Addresses aging concerns in the mid-face, lower face, and neck. It involves more extensive adjustments to underlying muscles and tissues, making it suitable for those with more advanced signs of aging.

How Does a Mini Facelift Work?

A mini facelift begins with making small, discreet incisions around the ears. These incisions lift, tighten, and secure the underlying tissues in a more youthful position. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are carefully closed to minimize visible scarring. The procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours and is done on an outpatient basis.

What is the Recovery like After a Mini Facelift?

Recovery from a mini facelift is generally quicker and easier than that from a full facelift. Most patients can return to light activities within a week; swelling and bruising gradually subside over 10 to 14 days. Key aspects of recovery include:

• Keeping the head elevated to reduce swelling.
• Avoiding strenuous activities for 2 to 4 weeks.
• Following Dr. Rothaus’s post-operative care instructions, including managing incision sites.

You’ll notice initial improvements immediately after the procedure, and the final results will become more apparent as swelling resolves over the following weeks.

How Much Does a Mini Facelift Cost in NYC and Westchester?
