Mini Facelift in Loudoun
Natural is Important
A Mini Facelift is a Anti-Aging procedure that is often part of rejuvenating the face. I have a saying – ” I would much rather appear old gracefully than to appear bizarre at the hands of a plastic surgeon”.
Candidates for mini facelift include:
- falling of the lower face with minimal problems with the neck
- increasing prominence of the jowls
- loss of definition of the jawline
- deepening of the nasolabial fold
- loss of volume around the cheekbone
Candidates who benefit from addition procedures include:
- falling or sagging of the neck – neck lift
- fat neck or double chin – neck liposuction
- falling of the brows – temple or brow lift
- excess upper eyelid skin or fat – upper eyelid surgery ( blepharoplasty )
- excess lower eyelid skin or fat – lower eyelid surgery ( blepharoplasty )
- loss of volume particularly in temples, under-eye area, or around the mouth – fillers or fat transfer
Surgery Time:
- 1.5 hours if only a mini facelift is needed
Time to return to work:
- Most patients will return to work in about 1 weeks if no other procedures are needed
- Addition of most other procedures will add an additional week
- Fat transfer might add an addional 2 weeks
Final results:
- Final form takes 3 months but it is like a curve. Most will look pretty good in 2 weeks
