A mini facelift is a less invasive form of this surgery that aims to reduce visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck.

It aims to rejuvenate the cheeks, reduce nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth), and eliminate mild jowls. During a mid-facelift, incisions are made just above the ear and hairline so the surgeon can reposition and tighten facial and cheek tissue. In some cases, underlying fat pads are redistributed or grafted to restore volume that was lost due to aging. A mid-facelift takes 2-4 hours with a recovery period of up to 2 weeks. While the results are more subtle than a full facelift, patients can achieve a refreshed appearance and youthful contours in the midface region.

As we become older, the brows may droop, causing hooding of the eyelids, forehead wrinkles, and a tired appearance.

Adding a brow lift allows us to elevate low-lying brows into a more youthful arch and reduce excess skin, wrinkles, and frown lines in the forehead and between the brows.
