Question

Mini Facelift” is a generalized “catch all” term that can mean different things depending on the doctor you ask. This often makes the real definition difficult for a patient to pin down. It typically only addresses the skin. The, LiteLift&trade;, however, addresses the deeper muscle layer providing the patient with a thorough, natural, long lasting result.Who are the best candidates?Any healthy individual wishing to address the signs of laxity oraging in the lower face and neck. Anyone interested in a refreshed look. This can be from weight loss, genetics and family traits, or aging.Everyone continues to age and additional treatments will be needed with time

Great question. Yes, you can.  In fact I typically perform my secondary mini facelift about 5 years on average after my first.  Each subsequent procedure allows me to keep the patient looking natural and more youthful, without having a "pulled back" look.  Mini facelifts are a great technique for those patients with mild to moderate aging that includes some neck and facial laxity, and jowls.

A mini lift is a wonderful surgical procedure to help define the jawline and lift sagging facial tissues in patients with early stages of aging. After the completion of a mini lift, the aging process will resume. Patient should expect the results of a mini lift should last between 7 to 10 years.  At that time, if patients notice a loss of definition and the jawline or aging changes in the neck they can undergo a repeat lift in the face and neck area. This is commonly done in a safe and effective manner.I hope this helps.

Yes, it is feasible, or possibly a revised version of a Mini-Facelift. It all depends on physical findings and exactly what is needed in your case.My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. It can also be modified for older patients who need a little more attention to certain areas. Check out the link below to an article I wrote about the subject. Good luck.
