How Effective is a Mini Lift After a Full Facelift?
I had a full surgical facelift at 48. It included neck and brow plus I had my eyes lifted too. Great result. I am now 61 and am getting some sag and jowls again (minimal). Would a mini face lift now be a good option for me? Thank you.

Mini Lift After Facelift
A mini lift is a great option for treatment of the aging face, even if you have had a full facelift before. This technique can provide a fresher looking face after the years pass and age begins to show its effects. I feel that overall a minilift is a safer option after a full facelift has been performed.

A Mini Lift should do quite nicely for a bit of a refresher face.
You would probably do quite nicely for a mini lift touch me upper. They are done under local anesthesia now with a little sedation if needed and run about $8500 with a lot less recovery time and easy to go through. Sincerely,

Mini Facelift after Full Facelift
Yes, a "mini" may be all you need to get you back to looking and feeling your best. However, it depends on your lifestyle (smoking, sun exposure), and natural aging factors. Occasionally other procedures such as fat grafting and skin resurfacing play a role in secondary facelift surgery.

This may get you back to that great look you liked
Great question and one I get asked a lot. Fifteen years after a facelift you probably don't have all the signs of aging and people don't guess your age right. But those nagging little things that are no longer "perfect" can be addressed usually without signing up for the full meal plan. A mini lift can be customized to pull just where you need it to fix this. And the recovery is much shorter. I think you will really appreciate what it can do for you.

A mini facelift could be exactly what you are looking for depending on your aging changes. Just remember every doctor has a different definition of "mini" facelift so please go over the details of what is being done.

Mini lift is successful, revision facelifts can be very helpful.
I believe you may have relaxed enough and had adequate time for healing since your previous work. As a facial surgeon, I see a number of patients for revision work on the lower face. If possible, try to obtain previous operative notes. This will help your surgeons determine the appropriate techniques and likely operative findings. There are many names for this type of procedure. Take time to educate yourself about your surgeons and the science behind the surgical lift. You should achieve a...

Minilift
This not a secondary tuck up. You are far to post op for that. Since you already have the scxars don't limit your surgeons ability to get good results. Let him decide how much you need.

Mini lift is a good surgical plan after full facelift
If your current complaint is just jowls and laxity in the skin a mini-lift would be a good maintenance procedure for you. If you are seeing some sagging in the neck area then a full revision lift would possibly be another option. It is hard to give an exact diagnosis without photographs however from your description you should be an ideal candidate for this procedure. If you would like to send any photographs to my website listed below or my email I would be happy to give you my expert...

The benefits of a Mini Lift
Absolutely yes. While these procedures are often marketed to a target population in their 30’s to 40’s, I think a Mini Lift would a perfect “touch up” for someone who has already had a full facelift and is now seeking additional improvement in the jowl area.

Mini Lift a Good Option for Early Jowls
Without a photo or exam it is impossible to tell for sure, but based upon your description of only a small amount of drooping in the jowl area a minilift may be the perfect option for you. A mini lift usually works best for patients with early jowls but minimal neck laxity. The difference between a mini lift and a full face lift is that the incisions are shorter and therefore the lift focuses primarily on the jowl and mid-face area but less on the neck.
If the minilift is...
