Mini Facelift Marina Del Rey | Mini Facelift Santa Monica

Our Marina del Rey mini facelift (short scar facelift) is a common surgical procedure that is popular among both men and women. It is a minimal incision facelift procedure with a speedy recovery!

What is a mini facelift?

Also known as a “weekend lift,” the mini facelift is designed to address mild skin laxity and jowls along the lower portion of the face and neck. Because it is less intensive than a traditional facelift, the incisions are small and discreetly placed around the ears.

Patients who undergo this procedure enjoy:

A naturally refreshed appearance
Firmer, more youthful skin along the jaw and neck
A more defined jawline

The procedure

To begin your Marina del Rey mini facelift, Dr. Macias will create incisions around the ears. Through those openings, he will gently pull your facial tissue upward. This process will highlight the natural beauty of your bone structure, while minimizing the appearance of jowls, wrinkles and lax skin.

Once Dr. Macias has created a youthful and more defined facial contour, he will close the incisions with sutures and you will be able to return home to begin the healing process.

Recovery

The recovery period for a mini facelift is approximately two weeks. All sutures will be removed within seven to ten days. Most patients have very little to no bruising, though some mild swelling and soreness may persist for up to two weeks.

Am I a candidate?

The ideal candidate for a mini facelift is a man or woman who has noticed a loss of youthful definition along the jawline and wants to tighten and lift the area. Most of our patients are between the ages of 30 and 70, though younger or older individuals may be considered candidates as well.

Enhancing your results

Dr. Macias often recommends fat grafting and eyelid surgery in addition to the mini facelift, depending on the patient’s needs and desires. Often, laser treatments are also performed after the recovery period to improve the color and texture of the skin, ensuring beautiful, well-rounded results.
