Look as Young as You Feel.

Rather than opting for a complete facelift, Athēnix offers a less invasive option with their mini facelift, designed to help you attain a more youthful look. Our surgeons can contour and sculpt your face with specialized techniques to deliver improved results with decreased downtime and discomfort. Schedule a consultation with Athēnix to achieve the refreshed look you desire.

What is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift involves tightening the skin and muscles of the face and neck through smaller incisions than those used in a traditional facelift. This procedure can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Is a Mini Facelift for You?

Age range: Mini facelifts are often advised for individuals ranging from their 40s to early 60s. This is due to the procedure's focus on addressing mild to moderate signs of aging, like sagging skin and wrinkles.
Skin elasticity: The success of a mini facelift depends on the elasticity of your skin. If your skin is too loose or saggy, a mini facelift may not be able to provide the results you're looking for.
Good health: As with any surgical procedure, it's essential to be healthy before a mini facelift. You should be free of any underlying medical conditions that could increase your risk of complications during surgery and recovery.

How it Works

Mini facelift surgery is performed with an endoscope that inserts a tiny fiber optic lens through half-inch incisions placed inconspicuously in your skin. The lens is attached to a camera, which is connected to a monitor, allowing for visualization of the surgery. Additional half-inch incisions are made for the insertion of tiny scalpels, scissors, and retractors. Your surgeon performs the procedure while viewing the monitor and manipulating the tiny instruments externally.

The Benefits of a Mini Facelift

A mini facelift has a quick recovery, typically only a few days of downtime
It targets specific facial areas to lift and tighten the skin so you'll look more youthful and refreshed without looking like you've had extensive work done
A mini facelift involves less cutting and less scarring than a traditional facelift
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you won't have to go under general anesthesia

Your Recovery Process

Recovery from a mini facelift is typically quicker than a traditional facelift, with most patients able to resume light activities within a few days and return to work within two weeks. Patients might encounter swelling and bruising, which can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain relief. It's advisable for patients to refrain from strenuous activities for several weeks and adhere to their surgeon's guidance for tending to the treated area.

Stunning Yet Subtle Results

The results of a mini facelift can be transformative, providing patients with a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Beyond the aesthetic improvements, patients often experience a positive impact on their emotional confidence and self-image. At Athēnix, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve their cosmetic goals and enhance their overall quality of life.
