What is a mini facelift?
A mini facelift is a tailored cosmetic procedure done to correct early signs of aging in the lower face. Small incisions are carefully placed that allow Dr. Kiran Gill to surgically reposition skin and tissue that has begun to sag, and thus remove jowls and restore taught youthfulness to the face. Because of ease and the relative brevity of the procedure, the mini facelift is also known as a limited incision lift or a weekend face lift.
With a mini facelift, Dr. Kiran Gill can effectively:
- Smooth away creases, folds and lines in the skin of the lower face, around the nose, mouth and chin.
- Replace sagging jowls with a smooth and more beautiful cheek
- Restore a more youthful and defined jawline
- Create a firm and sculpted neck
Am I a candidate for a mini facelift?
The challenges of battling age are universal, though there are exceptions and nuances to how it affects each of us. They start slowly and reveal themselves in a different way and at a different time for everybody. Thankfully, the mini facelift is also a flexible procedure that can be tailored from patient to patient. The ideal mini facelift patient is usually between 40 and 50-years old. A mini facelift produces considerable positive outcomes and improvements for people, but is less severe than a full facelift thus making it a more easily faced procedure for many.
The flexibility of the mini facelift extends to several types of incision, and several types of techniques that can be employed by Dr. Kiran Gill. Dr. Gill will tailor your procedure to meet your exact needs in a manner that avoids any unnatural or “worked on” look.
A mini facelift’s many faces:
The mini facelift is often done in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures for an overall much more encompassing and beautifying result. Dr. Gill can advise on additional procedures that would best help you meet your cosmetic beauty goals, some of which can include:
- Facial implants
- Brow lift surgery
- Upper or lower eyelid surgery
- Liposuction in the face of neck
- Fat transfer to restore facial volume
In addition the beautifying effect produced by multiple procedures integrated to produce the most aesthetic overall outcome, the other advantage in combining procedures is that you would avoid multiple surgeries and the recovery periods that would follow each of them. Instead of multiple procedures spread over time, total facial beautification and rejuvenation can be performed in a single appointment.
Tailored beauty
