Mini Lift: Minimally Invasive With Knockout Results
What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift or mini lift is a minimally invasive, one-hour procedure with long-lasting, natural results. The mini-lift procedure was designed to improve the laxity of jowls, cheeks, loose neck (turkey neck) and facial skin — without the need for major anesthesia.
Tighten Skin, Reduce Wrinkles With Aqua Plastic Surgery
Mini Lift Can be Performed on Men and Women
Aging alters the body in many ways, but nowhere are these harsh realities as visible as on the face. Coupled with the sun’s damaging rays, the aging process coarsens the texture of the skin, diminishes its youthful layer of fatty tissue, and causes the angularity of the face to be lost. As the skin makes its downward descent off the cheeks, jaw, and neck, it pouches into unsightly bags and overhanging jowls. These outward signs often generate comments of tiredness and questions of sadness that belie an inner vitality.

Mini Lift FAQs
A mini lift or mini facelift will improve the texture of the skin, tighten your jawline, fighting the signs of gravity along the way. The great value of a mini lift is that it can help counter this generalized facial sagging and give the face a more rested and youthful appearance. The procedure does not change you; it simply makes you look the way you did years ago.
In every face, regardless of the person’s age, some slack can be found. Following the procedure, the aging process continues and the skin loses more of its elastic properties. Gravity causes the loose skin to accumulate along the jaws, along the sides of the mouth and in the center of the neck under the chin. It is impossible to predict when – and to what extent – this may happen.
Genetics, age differences, ethnic backgrounds, stress, illness, and nutrition all play a role in how soon another mini lift procedures may be considered. However on the average it may take 10 to 15 years before you need any additional tuck-up.
A mini lift is less invasive, typically for patients in their 40s and 50s. A full facelift addresses more advanced aging, offering more dramatic, longer-lasting results.

The Consultation Process
You will sit down with your plastic surgeon for an informational consultation to learn more about what a mini facelift can do for you or if a facelift is a better option.
About the Mini Lift Procedure
Aqua Plastic Surgery offers IV sedation for most surgical cosmetic procedures. An alternative to general anesthesia, IV sedation is both safe and reliable. The idea behind avoiding major anesthesia is so the patient will have a safer procedure and be able to go home right after. Our surgeons are experts in keeping even the most anxious patients relaxed and comfortable.
Mini lift removes excess skin and fat from the face and neck area through well planned incisions. Our South Florida plastic surgeons begin the surgery by making an incision just behind the hairline at the temples and run down in front of the ear, up behind the ear. If the doctor is performing a neck lift in conjunction with the facelift procedure, the doctor will sometimes makes a second incision beneath the chin.
The mini facelift procedure repositions and supports the underlying structures and drooping fat, muscles, and skin. The preoperative analysis evaluates the quality of the skin, looseness at the jaw line, the angle from the chin to the bottom of the neck, and the amount of fat and excess skin present in the neck area. The results are very dependent on the elasticity of the skin. If the skin has had extensive damage, additional procedures may be required. Mini lift can best correct skin laxity in the face and neck as well as contour problems caused by protruding fat.
Mini Lift Recovery
By avoiding anesthesia, swelling and bruising is significantly reduced. You should be able to go out in public with the help of makeup within a few days, but this will vary for each patient. It’s important to limit your activities for several days. And it will probably be four to seven days before you can return to work.
Follow-up
We will schedule several follow-up appointments with you to check your healing progress and clear you to return to your regular lifestyle.
