A mini facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve early to moderate signs of facial ageing, particularly jowls, loose skin, and reduced jawline definition. It typically involves shorter incisions and less extensive tissue repositioning than a traditional full facelift.

Natural-Looking Facial Rejuvenation: Refresh facial contours while preserving natural expressions and individual facial features. Improved Jawline Definition: Reduce early jowls and restore a smoother, more defined jawline. Correction of Mild to Moderate Sagging: Lift and reposition descended tissues in the lower face. Smaller Incisions: Typically involves shorter incisions compared with a traditional full facelift. Potentially Shorter Recovery: Often allows a quicker return to normal activities than more extensive facelift surgery. Long-Lasting Improvement: Results can remain noticeable for several years, although natural ageing continues. Personalised Surgical Approach: Treatment adapted to individual facial anatomy and aesthetic expectations.

A mini facelift primarily targets the lower cheeks, jowls, and jawline. Depending on the technique, it may also provide limited improvement to the upper neck and lower facial folds.

A mini facelift generally involves shorter incisions and more limited tissue dissection, focusing on mild to moderate sagging in the lower face. A full facelift typically provides more extensive correction of facial tissue descent and may address more significant ageing changes in the face and neck.

Improving early jowling is one of the primary objectives of mini facelift surgery. By lifting and repositioning lower facial tissues, the procedure can create a smoother, more defined jawline.

Mini facelift surgery may be combined with blepharoplasty, facial fat grafting, neck liposuction, or selected non-surgical treatments. The suitability of combining procedures depends on individual anatomy, treatment goals, and medical assessment.

A mini facelift is a surgical procedure that repositions facial tissues and removes excess skin when necessary. A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses absorbable threads to provide more limited tissue lifting. Mini facelift surgery generally offers more substantial and longer-lasting correction of facial sagging, but involves greater downtime and surgical risks.

Facelift surgery typically takes approximately 2–5 hours, depending on the surgical technique, complexity, and whether additional procedures are performed.

The incisions are made at the hairline and around the ears, making them easy to hide. Over time, they fade and become almost invisible.

After a facelift, you will be able to enjoy a younger-looking face for around ten years.

1 to 2 days in the hospital are usually enough after facelift surgery

There is no specific ideal age for facelift surgery. Many patients consider the procedure between their 40s and 70s, although suitability depends more on facial anatomy, skin condition, degree of ageing, general health, and individual goals than chronological age.

Initial improvements become visible as swelling and bruising decrease over the first several weeks. Facial contours continue to settle over the following months, with more mature results generally becoming apparent within approximately 3–6 months. Scar maturation can take longer.
