The signs of aging appear in different ways for different people. Some may experience everything – including wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin, and jowls throughout their face, while others struggle with sagging skin alone. In many cases, a traditional facelift can address these signs of aging. But when a facelift proves to be too extensive for the desired corrections, patients may opt for a mini facelift in Nashville instead.
A mini facelift cements the gap between a traditional facelift and non-invasive procedures. This versatile treatment can help address the prominent signs of aging that appear in the lower region of the face.
Even though this technique is not as extensive as the traditional approach, the mini facelift is still an invasive cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess skin and recontouring one’s facial profile. However, it does require fewer incisions and is associated with a quicker recovery period when compared to the full facelift.
This procedure can beautifully restore your youthful appearance. If you’re experiencing mild to moderate facial aging, a mini facelift can deliver a naturally refreshed look. In general, we recommend the mini facelift to patients who want to correct:
During your private consultation at our Nashville office, Dr. Moran will perform an initial assessment of your facial contours and collect your medical history to determine if the mini facelift is right for you. Ideal candidates should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations for what the procedure can accomplish.
The initial recovery period from a mini facelift lasts about one week. During this time, you can expect some bruising and swelling. You’ll also need to avoid certain activities, including high-intensity exercise. Most of our patients can return to work and strenuous exercise within two weeks.
A mini facelift may be less extensive than a traditional facelift, but the outcomes are stunning. “Beautifully refreshed” is how we describe the results of the mini facelift. In terms of longevity, the enhancements are very long-lasting, but your skin and underlying tissues will continue to age naturally moving forward.
