What do you think of the lifestyle lift or, for that matter, any minilift, if a person does not require a complete facelift? Is it lasting, and where are the incisions made? How long is the usual recovery time? Many thanks for your opinion.

Answer: Min lift = mini results? Not necessarily. For patients with jowling and mild neck laxity, a mini lift is a great option. The results are meant to bring you back 5-7 years and are generally best for those in their 40s and 50s. The downtime is 1 week and the recovery is relatively easy. The incisions start just underneath the sideburn and pass around the ear in the natural creases. Shorter incisions just leave bumps of skin behind that may take months to flatten out. I perform a deep plane mini lift, which I believe gives the most natural-appearing and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Answer: Mini vs Full lower facelift Thanks for sharing your question. Mini lifts and a full lower facelifts all have their roles for the specific patient. Both procedures target the jawline and jowls. Typically, both procedures have the same incisions in front and behind the ear. A full lower facelift will have the incision extend down the posterior hairline and thus will get a better result in the neck and even a better result in the jawline because the longer incision allow for a stronger overall lift. A mini lift will have the advantage of less recovery, less costs, and less risk but again this will come with less results. It is important to consult with an experienced facelift surgeon to discuss which procedure would be the best for you when considering all these variables.
