Is a minilift that somewhat addresses the SMAS ever a worthwhile procedure?

I noticed that many of the "good" surgeons in my area have veered away from Minilifts, saying they offer "mini results". I appreciate their integrity in not offering a product that delivers inferior results. But I'm confused about the why. It seems to me, and some drs do in fact say, that if you need less dramatic results, bc you're in your 40s let's say, then why not offer something that provides less dramatic results? Is it a longevity issue? Thanks!
