A Mini
Facelift
(mini-lift)
is a
minimally
invasive
procedure
designed
to tighten
and smooth
the lower
face. A
small
incision
is made
just in
front of
the ear.
Excess
skin in
the lower
face is
removed
and small
sutures
are
placed.
Frequently
a chin,
cheek, and
jowl
liposuction
is done at
the same
time,
which
removes
the fat
that can
obstruct
the
improvement
and causes
some
retraction
(tightening)
on its
own. Both
are done
in the
office
under
local
anesthesia
ensuring a
very safe
procedure.
This
procedure
avoids the
bruising,
swelling,
and
prolonged
healing
often seen
with
traditional
full
facelifts.
There is
generally
little or
no pain
associated
with the
Mini
Facelift,
and many
patients
are able
to return
to work
within 3
days.
S-Lift
Mini Face
Lift
The S-lift
is a face
lift
technique
that
rejuvenates
and
beautifies
the
lower/mid
face and
neck by
reversing
changes
that have
occurred
with
aging.
The S
refers to
the shape
of the
incision
in front
of the
ear.
-
As
the
S-Lift
involves
minimal
dissection
of
the
face,
risk
of
permanent
injury
to
facial
nerve
branches
is
practically
eradicated.
The
S-Lift
is
performed
under
local
anesthetic
and
oral
sedation;
therefore
are
none
of
the
risks
associated
with
general
anesthetic
or
intravenous
sedation.
-
The
S-Lift
involves
elevation
and
permanent
fixation
of
the
SMAS.
The
excess
skin
is
removed.
-
The
incision
is
only
along
the
front
line
of
the
ear
(in
the
natural
creases).
There
is no
incision
or
hair
loss
behind
the
ear.
The
wound
is
meticulously
repaired
without
tension
on
the
skin,
leaving
an
imperceptible
scar.
-
The
vectors
of
elevation
for
the
S-Lift
are
different
to
the
conventional
facelift,
giving
a
natural
appearance.
Common
outcomes
of
conventional
facelift,
-
such
wind
tunnel,
mask
face
look
or
pixie
ear
effects
are
not
possible
with
the
S-Lift.
There is
minimal
bruising
and
swelling
and most
patients
return to
work
comfortably
within
7-10 days.
