I'm 59 years old, and several stomach surgeries plus two pregnancies had made a roadmap of my abdomen. I tried gyms, walking, running, equipment, etc. I could lose everything by the 4 inch hanging skin that was begining to droupe over the older sugery hip to hip scar. I could do nothing to fix this. I am average size 10-12 and in good shape except for when I take my clothes off, then I just wanted to hide.

Was under local anesthesia and was an in-office procedure. Also, very affordable and the results are noticeable but not drastic and there is NO DOWN TIME!

I had a mini facelift brilliantly performed by Dr. B yesterday!! You wouldn't belive my "before & after" pictures. My neck was my problem area..saggy & baggy!! I called him my Miracle Man because you should see me now. He is one talented doctor and I couldn't recommend him more highly!! He & his efficient staff made the procedure itself go so smoothly and the results..FABULOUS!

I had a mini-face lift with Dr... It involved the removal and tightening of the skin on my lower face and neck. From first to last my experience with the doctor and his staff was first rate, welcoming and warm. The procedure is done under local anesthesia so he was able to tell me what he was doing (because I asked) and I felt that I was in the hands of someone who really knew exactly what he was doing. He had told me that there would be no bruising and minimal swelling afterward and frankly I didn't believe him because I bruise so easily. It is now the third day after the procedure and I do not have even the hint of a bruise and any swelling there might be is invisible. The stitches are covered with steri-strips and so are almost invisible from the first.

Throughout the experience I felt I was in extremely competent hands. I would recommend this doctor without reservation for this procedure and I would be confident in going back for any other cosmetic work.

I'm a 40 yr old male, who has recently undergone a upper and lower mini face lift, to restore my youthful appearence.


The pros were, the price for a mini lift is cheap, when compared to a full face lift.


Also, I was wide awake for the entire procedure. There was no pain, during or post procedure, apart from and mild headache for a few days. I was able to go in public just 2 hrs after surgery and no one really noticed that I just had a mini face lift. I had skin flesh Steri-Strip to hide the stitches.


The cons are: The mini face lift may not give you the full results that you are looking for, when wanting to restore your looks. Yet, it will give you a nice improvement. So, you may want to opt for a full face lift, depending on your age and target goal.


I also had what is called a Delta mini face lift, which is more of an uppper mini face lift that is performed along the sides of the upper hairline and down the temples of the side of the face, just butt up against the hairline.


My first upper mini delta lift, did not turn out very well. The scar started to pull apart, on both sides or my face. So, about two months post operative, I had to have a upper mini delta lift revision, where the skin was loosened further out and pulled back together in a much more secure fashion.


The revision was a success, but I will need to have some laser resurfacing over the scar to rid all signs. Yet, over all, it turned out to be a success story. I'm thrilled I had my upper and lower mini face lift, even if I needed the revision.


When you opt to have cosmetic surgery, realize that you may need to have a revision or have the Dr tweak his work, because something simple can go wrong and will need to be redone.


So, prepare yourself and ask your Dr how he handles revisions. What are the cost of a revision or is a revision free.
