Mini Faceliftin Austin

The natural aging process, combined with gravity, volume loss, and decreased skin elasticity, can lead to the development of falling cheeks and jowling. These changes are often exacerbated by factors like sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and genetics.

A mini lift, also known as a limited incision facelift, can help address falling cheeks, jowling, and double chin by tightening and lifting the lower face and neck area. This procedure can restore a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

The results of a mini lift can typically last 5-10 years, though the longevity may vary depending on your skin quality, aging process, and lifestyle factors. Touch-up procedures may be needed to maintain the results over time.

The cost of a mini lift at Givens Facial Plastic Surgery starts at $14,000. This amount includes the estimated cost of required anesthesia and facility fees. The current average cost of a mini lift around the world is between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on the surgeon's experience, geographic location, and the complexity of the procedure. We always offer financing options to help make every procedure accessible.

Recovery from a mini lift typically takes 7-10 days, during which time patients may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness or tightness in the treated area. Most people can return to all normal activities within 1-2 weeks, depending on their individual healing process.

While Botox and dermal fillers can provide a temporary improvement in the appearance of falling cheeks and jowling, they do not offer the same long-lasting results as a mini lift. Surgical procedures are generally more effective for addressing moderate to significant signs of aging in the lower face and neck.

Yes, a mini lift is often performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as buccal fat removal, lip lift, earlobe repair, skin resurfacing, and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), to achieve a more comprehensive, harmonious result.
