Mini Face Lift: A Look At The “Weekend Face Lift”
Filed Under Face Lift Surgery
If you’re in your late thirties or forties, it’s very likely that you’ve started to experience some of the typical signs of aging, like sagging and droopiness in the cheeks, jawline, neck, and lower eyelid. In that case, a mini face lift procedure can be a great choice for you instead of a traditional full face lift.
The mini face lift is often referred to as a “weekend face lift” because of how fast both the procedure and the recovery time is. It covers a smaller area than a full facelift, and can be the perfect procedure for a woman who’s problem areas lie in the mid to lower face. There are also a range of different methods and techniques, each of which has different pros and cons. The costs are also significantly lower than a full face lift.
Mini face lifts are definitely fast– only an hour or two, and some are done with only local anesthesia. The recovery time takes about a week, but experiences vary. You’ll definitely need someone to drive you home after the procedure, and you can expect to look puffy for several days to about a week and a half afterwards, depending on which type of mini face lift surgery you’ve had done.
The mini face lift focuses on the middle and lower areas of the face, from the lower eyelid and down to the neck. This is great for it’s target customer, the woman who’s just started to show signs of advanced aging. If done early enough, a woman can seem to simply never age, as the results can be very subtle.
There are a variety of different techniques, each with their own name, and some of them have been developed into a brand, as with the Quick Lift Face Lift and the Lifestyle Lift. Because of this, you should take care when choosing which method is right for you, as there is a lot of marketing involved. Visit the website of the particular method you’re looking into, and see their mini face lift before and after pictures. But never choose which one you’re going to do until you’ve actually spoken to someone who has had that procedure (and that doctor) and been happy with it. Unfortunately, there have been incidences of some of these companies posting false reviews on the internet, so speaking to a real, live person who’s gone through it and been satisfied is of utmost importance.
The cost of mini face lift surgery varies depending on the method, doctor, and locale, but you can expect it to be around $5,000. This is much less than with a full face lift, adding to the “mini” aspect. As with other similar cosmetic procedures, most insurance companies do not cover or supplement the mini face lift cost.
