What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is an excellent procedure for making quick, subtle changes that can help slow the aging process. The lifestyle lift can improve the appearance of the neck, lift the jowls and create a more youthful-looking face. The procedure is popular among both men and women. It is especially done in younger patients because it can reduce the appearance of aging later in life and maintain a youthful appearance.
Before & After
* Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.
The procedure is similar to a traditional facelift.
The Mini Lift Procedure
A mini facelift is performed under local anesthesia in the office. The procedure takes around two hours and has a shorter recovery time than facelift surgery. The procedure is similar to a traditional facelift, however, the procedure is quicker and incisions are fewer and smaller. Our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Campbell can customize a mini facelift procedure for his patients to address select problem areas, such as early jowling and mild laxity under the chin.
Mini Facelift Recovery and Results
Patients emerge from the procedure with a refreshed, youthful appearance, without looking like they have undergone surgery. The recovery time is about a week.
However, some patients are resuming to their normal lives before the sutures even come out. In general, patients can expect a shorter downtime with a mini facelift than they would experience with a full facelift surgery.

What is the Cost for a Mini Facelift?
Mini facelifts cost less than your standard full facelift for several reasons. One reason is that mini facelifts are typically performed in-office setting under local anesthesia, therefore, there is no need for the cost of a surgical center, hospital, or anesthesia provider. Secondly, a mini facelift is exactly what it sounds like: a miniature version of a standard facelift. As such, these procedures usually take much less time, are less technically challenging, and do not require the advanced techniques often used in more sophisticated surgeries, such as fat transfer to the face or otoplasty ear pinning.
Patient Reviews
Mini Facelift FAQs
Everyone’s face is different, and as such, there are some patients that are great candidates for a mini facelift and some that are better off having full facelift surgery. If a person can get a perfect result with an in-office mini facelift, then there’s no need to take them to an operating room for a full facelift procedure.
At the same time, if a person’s anatomy is such that a mini facelift will never give them ideal results, then a full facelift might be the best option. The bottom line is there are several different ways to perform a facelift and an experienced facelift surgeon should know them all. That surgeon will be able to evaluate you and determine if you are a great candidate for a mini facelift, or if you would be better served by a more sophisticated form of a full facelift.
Also, other areas of your face may determine what kind of procedure is performed. For instance, if you need a mid-facelift and a lower facelift, you may be better off getting a deep plane facelift that can treat both at the same time. If you have low-set brows, you may need an endoscopic brow lift along with the facelift. Most patients have signs of aging in all areas of their face, including the brows, eyelids, cheeks and lower face.
In order to preserve facial harmony, it is common to perform multiple procedures all at the same time in order to create an extremely natural, yet very youthful appearance. This could include a brow lift, upper eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift, mid-facelift, full facelift, and even laser resurfacing, all at the same time. When you team up with an experienced plastic surgeon, you’ll be able to discuss all mini facelift options and choose what best fits your budget and lifestyle.
The only downside to a threadlift is that they only last 12-18 months. If you know your jowls will be a recurring concern, you may be a great candidate for a mini facelift. The mini-lift would be a “permanent” solution to the problem. The face would continue to age naturally, but the improvement would be there forever.
