Mini Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

What causes cheeks to start falling and jowls to develop?

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.

How can I fix sagging cheeks and a double chin?

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.

How long does the result of a mini lift last?

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.

How much does a mini lift cost?

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.

How long is the recovery from a mini lift?

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.

Can Botox or fillers be used instead of a mini lift?

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.

Can a mini lift be combined with other facial procedures?
