Mini Facelift, Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery, Fat Transfer

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
