The best candidates for a mini facelift are patients from Newport Beach and the nearby communities who enjoy good general health and have a modest to moderate degree of laxity along the jawline. Most patients undergoing mini-facelifts are in their forties; however, some patients in their early fifties or late thirties may be ideal candidates. Those concerned about neck banding or seeking substantial improvement in the neck appearance are better served with a facelift or a procedure that we more accurately call a 'Lower Face-Neck Lift.'
