A mini facelift (or partial facelift) is a less invasive procedure that targets specific areas of the face, typically the lower face and jawline. It involves smaller incisions and is ideal for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging. A full facelift, on the other hand, addresses the entire face, including the midface, cheeks, jowls, and neck. It often requires longer incisions and more extensive tissue manipulation to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation.
