Subtle Lift. Natural Results.
A Mini Facelift, also known as an S-Lift, is designed for patients experiencing the early signs of facial aging. This minimally invasive procedure lifts sagging skin, softens jowls, and restores youthful facial contours with smaller incisions and a quicker recovery than a traditional facelift.
Benefits
- Lifts early jowls and sagging cheeks
- Tightens loose skin along the jawline
- Improves mild neck laxity
- Smaller, well-concealed incisions
- Less swelling and downtime than a full facelift
- Natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation
Is a Mini Facelift Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate facial sagging
- Notice early jowl formation or loss of jawline definition
- Want noticeable rejuvenation without a full facelift
- Previously had a facelift and desire a touch-up
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
The Procedure
Dr. Joseph Arzadon performs the Mini Facelift using carefully concealed incisions around the natural contours of the ear. The underlying tissues are gently lifted and repositioned while excess skin is removed, restoring youthful definition to the lower face and jawline without creating an over-pulled appearance.
Many patients choose to combine a Mini Facelift with FaceTite®, neck liposuction, eyelid surgery, or skin rejuvenation treatments for more comprehensive facial enhancement.
Recovery
Recovery is typically quicker than a traditional facelift. Most patients return to light activities within 5–7 days, with mild swelling and bruising improving over the first one to two weeks. As healing progresses, facial contours become more defined, revealing a refreshed, naturally youthful appearance.
