Whether you call it a short-scar, S-lift or minimal incision facelift, the mini facelift is a less invasive option for rejuvenating the lower face, jawline and upper neck. These terms describe the type of incision used to access the skin and facial tissue, reducing the size of the incision/scar for a more discreet appearance and quicker recovery. However, it is the method of lifting the facial skin and tissue that determines how long the results will last. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery LLC, Dr. Ben Stong utilizes advanced techniques for long-lasting results from his signature mini facelift procedure.
What Makes Our Mini Facelift Different?
Many plastic surgeons offer a mini or short scar facelift, but not all use the same techniques as Dr. Stong. Some plastic surgeons are still using outdated methods of pulling the skin without elevating the muscles underneath. The deep plane facelift is the most effective method for restoring a firm and youthful appearance to the jawline and upper neck, but it takes intensive training and skill to perfect this technique.
Dr. Stong only uses deep plane techniques when performing facelifts for his patients, including his mini facelift. He has perfected his method of elevating the muscles, SMAS and skin to create gorgeous, natural-appearing outcomes through the shorter scar that is easier to hide behind the ear. Patients can enjoy a smaller scar, faster recovery and long-lasting results with our mini facelift procedure compared to many other facelifts performed by other plastic surgeons.
How Long Will a Mini Facelift Last?
Facelifts that are performed using the best techniques can help you look years younger. When deep plane methods are used for a mini facelift, the results can last for up to a decade before a touch up or revision facelift may be needed. The aging process does not stop, so it should be expected that the facial skin and tissue will begin to sag again over time and need revision to maintain a youthful appearance.
If you want to look more like your younger self, a mini facelift performed by Dr. Ben Stong can give you the results you desire.
