Lunchtime Face Procedures Worth It?

A true mini facelift, at least as performed at my practice, is a surgical procedure requiring downtime. The results are long-lasting and better than what you can get with non-surgical “lunchtime” procedures, however, you will not be able to go straight back to work. If you are looking for minor facial rejuvenation, non-surgical procedures such as Botox, fillers, and laser resurfacing can provide some benefit. However, if you have significant sagging of the skin, a surgical procedure will always give you better and longer-lasting results. I suggest visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a consultation where you can discuss your goals and concerns and come up with a custom treatment plan. I hope this helps.



 

Any lift that can be performed in under an hour and with no noticeable swelling is probably just a slap in the face. Any real procedure that provides a significant and long-lasting result will take more time and require some recovery.
Our mini-lift takes about 2.5 hours and is performed under local anesthesia in the office. A major portion of time is also dedicated to slowly providing effective anesthesia. We perform a deep plane lift that targets the jowls and upper neck. Patients go home wearing a chin strap with an expectation of a 1 week at-home recovery.

The use of Botox and Facial Filler in appropriate hands can make a face look younger in minutes with little to no downtime.  The key here is an injector who understands facial aesthetics and can reshape your face in a more attractive and youthful manner.

There are a lot of procedures that can safely and effectively be done to improve your facial appearance over your lunchtime. You might choose Botox/Dysport injections, fillers such as Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm, or possibly a light or laser treatment. All of these options may be completed during a short visit over your lunchtime. The right combination of procedures chosen to address your concerns can make a very big difference in your appearance.

The surgical options that are worth having are not able to be completed during your lunch hour. There are some of the franchised mini-facelift advertisements that promise surgery will be done in one hour though this is usually not truly the case. Be careful about the hype of advertising. Choose the best procedures to match your needs and concerns. Always consult with doctors that are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery  to ensure that you are in good hands.

I hope this info helps!
