A Specialized Approach to Facial Aesthetics
As a facial plastic surgeon specializing exclusively in the face, I’ve developed a range of face and neck lifting techniques that allow me to deliver a customized, refined, and long-lasting lift with minimal incisions and downtime. One technique I use is the “Preservation Mini Lift.” This procedure involves less dissection and shorter scars than a traditional facelift, which makes it appealing for those seeking subtle, natural-looking results without the extensive recovery associated with full facelifts.
What is the Preservation Mini Lift?
The Preservation Mini Lift focuses on lifting from the deeper layers of the face, specifically targeting the muscles and ligaments, while minimally dissecting the skin layer. This deeper-level approach enables a vertical elevation of soft tissue, resulting in a natural, elegant outcome without the “stretched” or overly tight appearance that can sometimes come with facelifts. I frequently combine this technique with additional procedures, such as buccal fat contouring and neck liposuction, to define the jawline further and reduce the need for extensive dissection.
Benefits of the Preservation Mini Lift
This mini lift creates smaller, more discreet scars that heal exceptionally well due to the reduced tension on the skin. Patients in their 40s and 50s are particularly drawn to this approach because it achieves the defined neck and jawline they desire, with only about a week of downtime.
Ideal Candidates for the Preservation Mini Lift
This lift is especially well-suited for patients in their early 40s who may be dissatisfied with their neck and jawline but have been told they’re “too young” for a full facelift. I believe there’s no need to wait—if you’re unhappy with your profile now, the Preservation Mini Lift can offer a solution without complicating future procedures if you choose a full facelift later on.
Long-Lasting, Natural Results
Since the Preservation Mini Lift releases the ligaments and elevates the deeper layers, it offers the durability of a traditional deep-plane facelift. Results typically last around 10 years, allowing patients to look refreshed and youthful as soon as the healing process is complete.
