Lower face lift, mini lift?

It is impossible to give you good advice based on this photo. It appears that neck and lower face lift could be a good option for you. However, without a detailed clinical exam it is not possible to tell you whether full or lower face lift is better. It really doesn't matter how you call it and how long the scar is; by lifting and filling (volume replacement in certain areas of face) you need to bring balance and harmony to entire face.You should seek a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options. Good luck.

In my practice, a lower facelift and mini lift are often synonymous. It appears that you would have the most benefit from work done in the neck and the jaw line regions and your mid and upper face appear to be fine. Different surgeons use different verbiage often to describe the same procedure and I think a lower face lift or mini lift which in my opinion is the same procedure would be of the most benefit. Good luck in your area.

As you can see, there are many answers and opinions. It is best to evaluate you in person and find out about your aesthetic goals, have an understanding of your wishes as far as healing and "down time", give you a sense of what the risks and benefits and longevity are for your various options, and the costs associated. From your photos alone you would potentially benefit from non-surgical radio frequency tightening, either external (Tripollar) or internal (ThermiRF). This can be potentially combined with fractional laser skin resurfacing. If you were interested in a more immediate result a neck lift can certainly be considered. Make sure you are consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced with all aspects of dance and neck rejuvenation, and make sure that your own sense of aesthetics aligns with those of your surgeon based on their photo gallery. Best of luck to you.
