A mini facelift is for patients who have preliminary signs of aging but may not be suitable candidates for full facelift surgery. The main objective of mini facelift is to minimize jowls (loose, sagging skin at the bottom of the face) that round the jawline and age the face. This is a less invasive procedure than traditional facelift since it requires less skin and tissue manipulation. Dr. Funt evaluates patients for mini facelift on a case-by-case basis. Patients with significant wrinkles or skin laxity on the neck may be better served by full facelift.
