Mini Lift, Major Results

Mini Facelift Brobst Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics

Facial features change as we age. The skin appears redundant and malpositioned. First, jowling and deeper creases around the mouth and nose become apparent due to excess skin. In many cases, individuals experiencing early signs of facial aging are better suited for a mini facelift than a complete facelift.

What is a mini facelift?

a less invasive surgical procedure

A mini facelift, also known as a mini-lift or short-scar facelift is a less invasive surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of the lower face, jawline, jowls, and to some extent, the neck. The procedure is similar to a traditional facelift but usually involves shorter incisions and less dissection in the neck resulting in a shorter recovery time. A mini facelift is typically recommended for people with mild to moderate sagging or drooping in the lower face and neck who want to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without undergoing a more extensive procedure.

Highlight your natural structure

What can a mini facelift do?

At our practice in Plano Mini facelifts have several advantages, including shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and less noticeable scars. Dr. Brobst takes special care to produce incisions that are nearly invisible. By following the facial boundaries and avoiding distortion of normal structures, the access points for the lift are well camouflaged. Mini-facelifts also have less risk of postoperative edema and bruising than full-scale facelifts. In select patients, local anesthetic alone can be utilized. However, the procedure can also be performed under sedation or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Either way, you will be at home, sleeping in your own bed, on the night of surgery. Additionally, a mini facelift can be combined with rejuvenation of the eyelids and brow, as well as facial implants and facial skin resurfacing. These additional interventions treat excess eyelid skin, bags, a low brow, facial imbalance, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Natural-looking, Long-lasting

Mini Facelift Preparation and Procedure

In the course of a Mini Facelift Plano expert plastic surgeon, Dr. Brobst, will create incisions adjacent to each ear. Within weeks the incisions can barely, be seen since they are camouflaged by the ear folds and hairline. After these incisions have been created, Dr. Brobst will meticulously work to tighten and rearrange the underlying tissues of the face, including the connective tissue and the muscles, which have grown loose throughout one's lifetime. After the underlying support structures have been tightened and reinforced, any extra skin will be removed during this operation before moving on to the next step. After that, the skin redrapes, which results in a result that is both natural and long-lasting.
