Mini facelifts

Lee Kleiman, MD answers: Mini facelift vs. full facelift: which is best?

A mini lift sounds sooo much more appealing to me.  less expensive...less invasive...can get rid of my sagging skin and jowls. why would i opt to get full facelift surgery?

Remember. Not all facelifts are alike. One size does not fit all. A minifacelift implies less incisions  and dissection with a quicker recovery. The reality is tha t many persons  don't require an extensive lift. The key is realizing the portions of the face that need lifting and doing it conservatively. A small incision, skin only lift will not  work for everyone. The key is to find the right surgeon, with experience, to perform the operation.

These operations are most confortable  under sedation with local anesthesia.
