Mini Facelift
Even if you have cared for your skin over the years, eventually age will impact the appearance of your facial skin. The visible impact of aging such as skin laxity, deep lines and wrinkles, loss of volume, and the sagging jowls can leave you feeling unhappy – and less confident. Our Beverly Hills mini facelift is a less invasive, but very effective way to restore the mid-face. Dr. Leslie Stevens is recognized as a top facial plastic surgeon who often works with top celebrities to need to look their best.
What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is a less-invasive option to a full facelift that addresses the development of jowls, wrinkles, and creases affecting the mid and lower face. A mini facelift achieves a remarkably fresh, natural look when performed correctly. The procedure is appropriate for patients who want to:
- Restore the cheeks to a higher, more youthful position
- Restore jawline definition
- Tighten loose, sagging skin
- Smooth away lines and creases
- Restore a fresh, youthful fullness to the cheeks
How is a Mini Facelift Performed?
A mini facelift addresses the skin and tissue of the mid and lower face, along with restoring underlying muscle and connective tissue. The face is lifted and repositioned with a specialized surgical technique that is far more effective than older facelift methods – with results that are exceptionally natural in appearance, not pulled, tight, or positioned in a manner that makes it obvious you had “work done.” The mini facelift is less invasive than a traditional Beverly Hills facelift and involves a shorter recovery time.
What Type of Anesthesia will be Used?
Your mini facelift will be performed in Beverly Hills’ exclusive Lasky Surgical Center, providing you with privacy and discretion. A mini facelift can be performed using local, twilight, or general anesthesia.
What Can I Expect During a Mini Facelift in Beverly Hills?
Dr. Stevens will make incisions in front of the ear, with a delicate surgical approach that avoids creating visible scars. The skin of your mid and lower face, as well as the underlying tissue, will be repositioned and elevated into a more youthful – but very natural, position. Fatty tissue may be redistributed into areas of lost volume, restoring a youthful fullness to your cheeks. Excess tissue will be trimmed away, and your incision will be closed with sutures. The procedure takes approximately one to two hours to perform.
What is the Recovery from a Mini Facelift?
You may experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling for one to two weeks following your mini facelift. Most patients, however, only experience mild discomfort – far less than they expected. Dr. Stevens will provide you with prescription pain medication to allow you to be as comfortable as possible while your body heals. You should plan to take one to two weeks off work or other activities while your body heals and avoid strenuous activities, so.
Can I Combine a Mini Facelift with other Procedures?
A mini facelift is often combined with other restorative treatments, including an eyelid surgery, a brow lift, laser skin resurfacing, fat grafting, injectable fillers, or a neck lift.
Am I a Candidate for a Beverly Hills Mini Facelift?
Men and women who see their facial structure losing its firm, youthful look, and are tired of living with deep laugh lines and lack of definition at the jawline, who are in good general health, are good candidates for a mini facelift in Beverly Hills.

When is the Right Time to Have a Mini Facelift in Beverly Hills?
Everyone ages at a different rate, but typically, a mini facelift is an appropriate procedure for patients in their mid-forties or fifties who are experiencing moderate facial sagging and wrinkling, jowls, and sagging skin and tissue along the jawline. Many non-surgical anti-aging treatments can keep you looking younger for far longer than was possible in the past – but eventually, the only way to truly restore your look is to undergo a mini facelift.
How Much Younger Will I Look With a Mini Facelift?
While everyone is different, this procedure typically leaves the person looking about eight to ten years younger than they appeared prior to the procedure. If you wish to learn more, contact us today and schedule a consultation for arguably the best facelift Beverly Hills has to offer.
