Mini-Lift

Used For

Excess skin of the face, droopy or hollow appearing cheeks, prominent jowls.

Down Time

2 weeks

How It Works

An incision is made in natural creases around the ear and hidden in a portion of the hairline. This allows liposuction and repositioning of the tissues below the skin. Excess skin is then elevated and removed for maximum improvement.

Side Effects

Most common side effect is bruising and swelling of the operated areas. There is often some temporary numbness around the incisions that will improve over the next few months.

What to Expect

There will be some bruising and swelling of the cheeks. Results are apparent immediately however, as the swelling goes down the natural appearing results will become more apparent. The ideal candidate for this procedure has sagging of the cheeks and jowls without a lot of neck sagging.
