ANTIAGING TREATMENTS: FACIAL
Mini Face Lifts
The Mini-Facelift is his is a quick and discreet procedure
suited to busy executives and those who do not have
time for the prolonged recovery of a full face lift.
It is regarded as a maintenance procedure, best suited
for people in their 30s and 50s who have good skin tone,
but are starting to see some laxity in their lower face
around the jaw. It suits those who don’t really
require a full facelift, but still want to reverse and
hold off the aging process.
It is commonly used by celebrities, who do not want
any procedures to be noticeable.
The differences to the traditional facelift are:
- The scar is shorter
- There are fewer complications, such as possible
hair loss around the incisions
- There is also a little less bruising and swelling
of the face post-operatively
- There''s very little need for bandages after the
surgery
- The recovery period is much quicker - the patient
can usually return to work after five to seven days

folds.

A facelift chin strap bandage is worn continually
for a week; after which it is worn at night for another
week.
Results
The procedure can take 10 years off a patients appearance
and lasts for seven to ten years.
