Mini-facelifts have grown popular due to a lot of advertising by some of the franchise facelift businesses. There are lots of different types of these operations, but they’re all variations of the same basic principle. The most well known example is the Lifestyle Lift. The goal is to improve the area between your lower eyelids to the jaw line. The most improvement is usually seen along the nasolabial folds which are the lines from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth. If you have the right set of concerns/problems a mini-facelift could be a great operation for you.
Too many people, however, choose to have a mini-facelift for the wrong reasons. Some for cheaper cost, others for the idea of a shorter scar or shorter operation time. Mini-facelifts are not one size fits all. If you have any issues in your neck (for example) the mini-facelift will not improve them at all. A lot of people get enamored with the idea of a mini-facelift and end up choosing the wrong operation for their anatomy and concerns. If you have a mini problem, the mini-facelift can be great. If you have a bigger issue, you probably need the full facelift.
Be very careful when choosing a procedure to improve the appearance of your face. There is a lot of hype and many promises made that may not be delivered. I encourage you to listen to a two part radio show that highlights some shocking details surrounding the Lifestyle Lift (links below).
I recommend that you visit with a few plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. get a few opinions and a lot of information. Then choose your procedure together. That’s a good way to get a great result!
I hope this info helps!
