Mini Facelift
Mini Procedure, Big Results
A mini facelift utilizes many of the same techniques as the ever-popular traditional facelift. This version of a facelift requires smaller incisions and is less invasive.
A mini facelift can correct a variety of cosmetic concerns. These include sagging along the jawline, wrinkles on the corners of the mouth, and even a double chin.
It is important to note that a mini facelift cannot achieve the same level of transformation as a full facelift. While a full facelift can address deep wrinkles and sagging from the cheeks to the lower neck, a mini facelift is ideal for patients who are looking to reverse early signs of aging in the lower third of the face and the upper neck only. However, even with a more limited treatment scope, your mini facelift can still deliver outstanding results.

There are several actions you should take in the month before your surgery. Doing so can reduce the likelihood of surgical risks, which are rare, and increase the effectiveness of your treatment.
- Avoid all nicotine products for four weeks prior to surgery and six weeks after
- Stop taking blood thinners like aspirin for two weeks before surgery
- Do not drink alcohol in the 48 hours before your mini facelift
- Do not eat or drink for six hours before you arrive at our Phoenix office
The Mini Facelift Timeline
Day of Procedure
Either oral conscious sedation or general anesthesia, administered under the care of a trained anesthesiologist, are available to maintain your comfort throughout the procedure.
Mini Facelift Recovery Is Swift
One of the biggest advantages of a mini facelift compared to a full facelift is a much faster recovery time. Patients who receive mini facelifts at our Phoenix, AZ, office typically experience just a single week of recovery symptoms, including swelling and tenderness, before they can comfortably return to work and socialize. However, it's important to remember that it can take a month or more to see the full results of a mini facelift, and minor healing can continue up to a year after the procedure.
Dr. Robles remains committed to his patients long after they leave his operating room. He will prescribe antibiotics and pain medications as needed, provide detailed recovery instructions, and advise you about when it is safe to resume strenuous physical activity.
How Long Does a Mini Facelift Last?
/
No type of facelift, not even a full facelift, can provide permanent results. The effects of a traditional facelift typically last about 15 years. You can expect your mini facelift results to last anywhere from 5–10 years.
As you can see, the mini option offers longer-lasting results than non-invasive treatments, but not as long as a traditional facelift. If you are unsure which facelift method is right for you, rest assured that Dr. Robles is here to answer all your questions.
Facelifts Are Popular Among Both Men & Women
Some men are interested in aesthetic improvements but are under the misconception that plastic surgery is not for them. The truth is, from 2000 to 2018, there was a 29% increase in the number of men who received cosmetic procedures.
In 2021, the Aesthetic Society reported that facelifts were the sixth most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for men. The targeted nature of a mini facelift is especially beneficial for both men and women who want facial enhancement without drawing attention to the fact they have had work done.
