General information on medical treatment

Overview of Mini Facelift

Mini facelift is a less invasive surgical procedure that offers facial rejuvenation with smaller scars and faster recovery than traditional facelift. With a satisfaction rate above 90%, this procedure is ideal for people with early to moderate signs of aging seeking natural and lasting results.

Evaluation and Decision Process

The main indicators for considering a mini facelift include mild to moderate sagging in the neck and face area, early jowls, and subtle loss of jawline definition. Non-surgical alternatives may include radiofrequency or microfocused ultrasound treatments, though with less pronounced results.

Procedure Preparation

Preparation involves basic pre-operative exams, evaluation of general health condition, and possible adjustments to current medication. It's essential to avoid anti-inflammatories and supplements that affect blood clotting two weeks before surgery. For the procedure day, arrange transportation and supervision for the first 24 hours.

The Surgical Procedure

Mini facelift uses minimally invasive techniques with smaller incisions strategically positioned around the ears. The procedure focuses on the mid-face and neck region, repositioning tissues and removing moderate excess skin. Surgery usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours, performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Recovery Process

The recovery period is shorter than traditional facelift, lasting about 7 to 10 days for return to basic activities. Swelling and possible bruising are less intense and resolve more quickly. Signs requiring medical attention include intense pain, pronounced asymmetry, or fever.

Professional Selection

To ensure the best results in your mini facelift, it's crucial to consult specialized plastic surgeons. The AvaliaMed platform provides access to recommended doctors, allowing you to learn about other patients' experiences and make an informed choice about your procedure.
