Mini Facelift Auburn, CA | Freed Plastic Surgery: Dr. Jonathan R. Freed

Understanding Mini Facelift Surgery

Mini facelift surgery is a popular facial procedure performed by Dr. Freed that addresses wrinkles and loose skin on the lower face. This minimally invasive technique offers patients a quick recovery with local anesthesia, making it an appealing alternative to more extensive facial rejuvenation procedures.

Surgical Technique

During a mini facelift, precise incisions are placed in front and behind the ears. Dr. Freed carefully lifts the skin and underlying facial muscles, creating a more youthful and natural appearance. The extra skin is then strategically removed to enhance facial contours.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift

Determining candidacy for a mini facelift requires a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Freed. Potential candidates typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Good overall health
• Mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline and neck
• Adequate skin elasticity
• Desire for a less invasive procedure with quicker recovery

Preparing for Your Mini Facelift Procedure

Proper preparation is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes. Dr. Freed recommends the following pre-surgical guidelines:

• Cease smoking at least six weeks before surgery
• Discontinue blood thinners and certain medications
• Arrange post-operative transportation and care
• Prepare nutritious, low-sodium meals in advance

Recovery and Aftercare

Mini facelift recovery involves careful management during the initial weeks. Patients can expect some swelling and temporary numbness, with most individuals returning to normal activities within one week.

Recovery Milestones

• First two weeks: Gentle care and limited activity
• Two to six weeks: Scar management and gradual healing
• Complete results visible after approximately one year
