Is a Mini Facelift a good option for me? (photo)

The main function of a mini facelift is to smooth the jawline. You might get a little improvement at the mouth, but a filler will definitely be needed to give the best result. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

In order to lift the corners of the mouth on a long term basis the Suoerficial muscle-fasciae layer(SMAS) must be released and lifted which involves a deep plane approach. Most mini facelifts tighten the SMAS with sutures without releasing the deeper attachments and the improvement will less and not as long lasting. I Woukd choose your surgeon carefully and look at before and after pictures and understand the approach. Experience and reputation of the surgeon are important criteria.
