Subtle Lift, Powerful Results: The Mini Facelift
Performed by a Featured Facial Surgeon
The mini facelift is a refined surgical option designed for those noticing early signs of aging around the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. Unlike a traditional facelift, the mini lift uses smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time, while still providing noticeable rejuvenation.
It’s an ideal procedure for individuals in their 40s to early 50s seeking to refresh their appearance without the intensity of full surgery. With the right surgeon, a mini facelift delivers a natural, youthful look — like you, but years younger.

it restores your confidence.”

Standard Mini Facelift
Subtle rejuvenation with smaller incisions and faster healing
This procedure lifts sagging skin in the lower face and jawline using shorter incisions around the ears. It’s ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible improvement with minimal downtime. The mini lift offers long-lasting results with a more conservative approach than traditional facelifts.
Short Scar Facelift (S-Lift)
Minimal incision technique that reduces visible scarring
This method uses an S-shaped incision near the front of the ear to lift the lower face. It minimizes scarring while tightening skin and muscle layers for a smooth, defined jawline. Recovery time is shorter, making it a popular choice for younger patients.

Lower Mini Lift
Focused tightening for the neck, chin, and jawline area
This variation addresses loose skin and early jowling in the lower third of the face. It’s best for patients whose aging signs are concentrated below the cheeks. The results often include a sharper jaw contour and more youthful neck profile.
Endoscopic Mid-Facelift
Elevates the cheeks and mid-face using tiny, hidden incisions
An advanced version of the mini lift, this procedure lifts sagging cheek fat pads for a refreshed and lifted look. Surgeons use an endoscope to perform the lift through small incisions, often placed in the hairline. It’s ideal for improving under-eye hollows and smile lines.

Mini Facelift + Injectables
Combines surgical lift with subtle volume restoration
This hybrid approach uses a mini facelift to lift tissue and dermal fillers to restore facial volume. It’s best for patients who want an enhanced but balanced outcome. Results are smooth, refreshed, and tailored — without looking “done.”
Weekend Facelift
The lightest mini lift with ultra-quick recovery
A term often used in marketing, this refers to the most minimal facelift techniques performed under local anesthesia. Downtime is extremely short — often just a few days. Best for those with very early aging or as a touch-up between full surgeries.
