Mini Facelift North Carolina | Charlotte Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Mini Facelift Procedure

A mini facelift is a refined surgical technique designed to address early signs of facial aging with minimal intervention. This procedure targets specific areas of the lower face and jawline, providing subtle yet significant aesthetic improvements.

Key Benefits of Mini Facelift

• Less invasive compared to traditional facelift surgery
• Shorter recovery period
• Reduced surgical complexity
• Natural-looking facial rejuvenation

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Typical candidates for a mini facelift include individuals experiencing mild to moderate facial sagging, typically between 40-55 years old. Patients should have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Technique and Approach

Charlotte Plastic Surgery's mini facelift procedure involves precise incisions near the hairline and around the ear. Surgeons carefully reposition underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin to create a more youthful, refined appearance.

Procedure Details

• Performed under local anesthesia with sedation
• Typically completed within 1-2 hours
• Minimal scarring due to strategic incision placement

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a mini facelift is generally faster than traditional facelifts. Patients can expect minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within 7-10 days. Subtle swelling and bruising are common but resolve quickly.

Post-Procedure Care

• Initial healing period: 1-2 weeks
• Compression garments may be recommended
• Follow-up appointments to monitor healing
