I'm a 52 year old male. How long does a Mini Lift last?

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It's not possible to answer your question without seeing photos. A lifestyle lift is just another name for a mini lift, in most instances. Every facial plastic surgeon has a slight variation on what a mini or lifestyle lift will address.At my center, a mini lift is used to resolve slight jowling and neck sagging. Severe sagging and jowling need a traditional rhytidectomy (facelift). If you fall somewhere in between, a full facelift would probably be the most effective long-term solution. If you opt for a mini lift, you will probably need hyaluronic-acid based fillers to smooth out your nasolabial folds. The incisions for any face lift are hidden behind the ear creases. A mini lift can last from five to 10 years. A full facelift can last up to 10 years or more. I hope this helps.

On average the surgical #results last between 4 and 7 years. However, people vary so much from one another, an exact time is difficult to provide. If you wish, you may repeat the procedure at that time. There is always an improvement compared to not having the procedure as the #aging process continues to progress throughout the future. Patients, with very loose skin will occasionally experience #sagging earlier and it may be seen as soon as one  year later. Such may require a secondary procedure to tighten the loose skin.

Your question is a good one, but fairly complex to answer. A "mini-lift" may mean many different things depending on the surgeon you visit. To me a mini-lift is a type of facelift using shorter incisions, less undermining and less aggressive work on the SMAS layer. It is ideally used in the younger population, age 45-55. It reverses 5-10 years of aging and is relatively permanent. You will continue to age, but will always look 5-10 years younger than had you done nothing. Go to the link for a discussion of named or trademarked lifts. 

Depending on the technique used a "mini lift" can mean many different things and can last many years if a reliable technique is chosen.  However, for most men in your age category, because of significant neck aging, a more comprehensive lift such as a high smas facelift is necessary for the best long term and natural appearing improvement.  I would recommend consultation with a surgeon who focuses a significant percentage of his or her practice with aging face surgery.  Good luck.
