I am wondering if dermatologists are qualified and trained to do mini facelifts? A well rated dermatologist is doing a mini facelift in Scottsdale for 4400.00 and not a liquid facelift, a real minilift with the doing the SMAS and doing he short scar around the ear. Do you think this is okay to get by this doctor? He has 5 star ratings on realself.

Answer: Qualifications and Surgery Hi WatcanmynamebeAs the age old addage goes, you get what you pay for.A suggestion - that you think very carefully about seeing someone who is not qualified. It takes years of practice and studying to be a PS, and you cannot bypass this process with a few certificate courses.Good Luck with your research

Answer: Dermatologist qualified to do a mini facelift? A dermatologist deals with skin, hair and nails. They treat disease, cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, nails and hair. I would highly recommend a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon if you re considering a Facelift (mini or full face), not a Dermatologist. Please do not cut corners, especially when it comes to your face. It is worth doing your research on qualified Plastic Surgeons, going to several consultations, see their before/after pictures, even speaking with patients about their experience and their results. Saving money isn't always the way to go. Remember you are worth it!Best of luck.

Answer: Who Should Perform Your Procedure? I can give you the advice I would give to my wife or mother: 1) minilifts are generally very disappointing, 2) only see an experienced board certified, fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon that performs a lot of facelifts, and 3) if it seems too good to be true, it probably is; $4400 is an unrealistically low price for a quality facial lifting procedure. I see patients virtually every week that have made decisions on surgical procedures based solely on price, who now regret their one dimensional decision
