If you want facial rejuvenation but injectables are no longer providing the improvement you want, and you are not ready for a more extensive facelift, a mini facelift may be the right approach. While every patient’s needs are different, a mini facelift typically addresses early-to-moderate signs of aging in the lower face, where skin laxity, sagging, jowls, and soft tissue changes often become noticeable first.
At Radiance Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lori Cherup brings more than 35 years of surgical expertise to facial rejuvenation procedures, combining artistry, precision, and compassion to help patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
Lower Face
One of the main areas improved by a mini facelift is the lower face. With age, the skin and underlying tissues naturally descend, creating a softer or less defined facial shape. A mini facelift can lift and tighten this area, restoring a more youthful contour without dramatically changing your natural appearance.
Jawline
The jawline is another common concern for patients considering a mini facelift. Mild to moderate jowling can make the lower face look heavier or less sculpted. By repositioning sagging tissue and tightening loose skin, a mini facelift can help create a smoother, more defined jawline.
Jowls
Jowls are often one of the first aging concerns that motivate people to explore facial surgery. A mini facelift can improve jowls by lifting the tissues around the lower cheeks and jawline. This can help the face look firmer and more refreshed.
Lower Cheeks
A mini facelift may also improve the lower cheeks, especially when volume and tissue have started to shift downward. By gently lifting this area, the procedure can help restore better balance between the cheeks, jawline, and lower face.
Neckline in Some Cases
Although a mini facelift is not the same as a neck lift, some patients may notice subtle improvement in the upper neck or under-chin area. However, if loose neck skin or neck bands are a primary concern, a neck lift may be recommended instead or combined with a mini facelift for more complete results.
