When it comes to facial rejuvenation, facelift surgery is considered the gold standard due to its ability to transform features and remove years from your perceived age. 

Like a full facelift, a mini facelift can produce dramatic improvements in the cheeks, jawline, and jowl region, enhancing self-confidence while providing a natural-looking transformation. In fact, a well-performed mini facelift can often rewind the clock by 5-7 years, helping you to age more gracefully. Mini facelifts provide notable advantages over non-surgical anti-aging treatments and at-home skincare products, as they can effectively trim sagging skin and improve jawline definition, restoring vitality, balance, and youthfulness.

In this informative blog, internationally recognized Dr. Tessa Hadlock, the founder of the Hadlock Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, provides unique insights on the benefits of a mini facelift. 

Who Should Consider a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is ideal for patients in their 30s and 40s who are just beginning to see signs of aging emerge but who still have good skin elasticity. They may have tried non-surgical skincare solutions and at-home topical products in the past but are now finding that they desire a more comprehensive solution that comes with longer-lasting improvements. Good candidates for a mini facelift are often frustrated by early jowling, loss of definition in the jawline, and drooping midface contours. 

At a glance, a mini facelift can treat the following:

  • Newly emerging jowls
  • Minor midface and upper neck laxity
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

A mini facelift may not be a good solution for addressing:

  • Heavier, hanging jowls
  • A double chin
  • Vertical neck bands
