What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a surgical procedure designed to restore youthful contours to the lower third of the face. Compared to a full facelift, this minimally invasive technique requires shorter incisions and less downtime, earning it the nickname "weekend facelift".

Key Benefits of Mini Facelift

Smoother, more contoured lower jawline
Reduced nasolabial "smile" lines
Improved skin laxity along jawline and lower cheeks
Enhanced jawline definition
Minimally invasive with local anesthesia
Approximately one week of recovery time
Results lasting up to 10 years

Ideal Candidates

Patients in their 40s or early 50s with mild to moderate skin sagging are typically ideal candidates. Good overall health and non-smoking status are important considerations for this procedure.

Procedure Details

Dr. Bonillas performs mini facelifts using advanced SMAS layer techniques, making short incisions hidden within the hairline and around the ears. The procedure typically takes approximately one hour and involves tightening underlying facial tissues for natural-looking results.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery takes about one week, with patients able to return to less strenuous work. Full results are visible within one month, with careful aftercare including sun protection to maintain outcomes.
