Isn't a Full Face Lift Riskier Than a Mini Face Lift with Respect to Complications, Etc?

February 16, 2011
Asked By:brook607 in NYC

All cosmetic plastic surgery comes with risk, such as health complications like infection, and bad workmanship. We've all read about botched eye jobs, nose jobs, etc. Even a good plasic surgeon can, at times, do a not so good job. So wouldn't a mini face lift be less risky than a more extensive full face lift? And wouldn't a mini-lift be more likely to look more natural?
