Mini Lifting

Have you ever felt uncomfortable when you noticed some new aging signs while looking in the mirror? Did you find that your appearance doesn’t exactly represent how you feel inside? Have you ever thought about undergoing plastic surgery on your face, but you are afraid of scars or even medical recovery during your day-to-day life? Learn about the Mini Face Lifting, the surgery that can bring a few years back, improving the self-esteem lost over time safely and with virtually invisible scars.

The Mini Face Lifting is a variation of the traditional Face Lifting, also known as Face Surgery or Face Lift. This procedure mainly treats excess wrinkles and skin and is more suitable for patients between 30 and 50 years old who have a slight degree of sagging on the face. Undeniably, age can vary, depending on each patient’s genetic and environmental factors. The recommendation of Mini Face Lifting is mainly valid for patients with sagging skin. The procedure is primarily performed in the central region of the face and cheeks.

Many patients visit Dr. Thomas’ medical practice to undergo facial plastic surgery. Their main concern is that the surgery might leave prominent or visible scars. Considering that, Dr. Thomas always follows procedures where marks left after surgery are significantly smaller, keeping them close to the front and back areas of the ears, so they are virtually imperceptible over time.

The Mini Lifting aims to correct the sagging of the lower middle third of the face, the jawline, sagging around the mouth and neck, smoothing the appearance of the so-called “Chinese mustache.” The main advantage of Mini Lifting compared to traditional Face Lifting is the patient’s faster recovery, since edema (swell) and ecchymosis occur to a minor extent, which can be exceptionally cost-effective in the long run.
