I'm 47 years young and my neck is looking baggy and so are my eyes. Will a mini facelift correct this or a full facelift? What's the difference?
Answer: Facelift The difference between mini and standard facelift all depends on who you ask. The problem with a Mini facelift is that there are likely to be important steps left out which lead to a suboptimal result. Choose a good surgeon for starters and go from there. Don’t be confused by the word play. That’s all it is

Answer: Mini vs Full You need a full facelift as this will address the deeper tissue and adequately correct everything. A mini facelift is usually a smaller incision that only include tightening of the cheek tissues and/or neck with suturing only (no elevation of the deeper tissue or creating a flap to pull on). I would recommend seeing a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive aesthetic training in plastic surgery of the face. This includes a plastic surgeon who performed at least a 6 year plastic surgery residency and an extra 1 year aesthetic fellowship.

Answer: Wave Lift A profile view is usually more helpful to assess the neck. To address the signs of periorbital aging, you would benefit most from an endoscopic browlift paired with upper and lower blepharoplasty. While a minifacelift, which we call a wavelift, and perform with an endoscope to minimize the length of our incisions, would rejuvenate your midface, and cause some improvement along your jawline, you do not have much jowling, so it might be the case that performing liposuction of the neck would satisfy you for the time being, allowing you to postpone a facelift until later in life. We would need to see you in person to allow you to better choose among these different options.
