Mini Facelift

A mini facelift offers a refreshed, more youthful lower face with less surgery and faster recovery than a full facelift — ideal for earlier signs of aging. Dr. Hootan Zandifar tailors the approach to your needs.

What Is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift addresses early jowling and mild laxity along the jawline and lower face through shorter incisions and a more limited lift than a full facelift. It’s a popular option for patients in their 40s and 50s.

Is It Right for You?

Best for those with mild to moderate sagging who want meaningful improvement with less downtime. Patients with more advanced aging are usually better served by a full or deep-plane facelift — an honest evaluation guides the choice.

Recovery

Because it’s less extensive, recovery is typically quicker than a full facelift. Specifics are reviewed at consultation.

The Value of Mini Facelift

A natural refresh with less downtime — when it fits your degree of aging. Because it’s a lasting result, the quality of the outcome — not the lowest price — is what matters most.
