Do you want to take a few years off your appearance but aren’t ready for the time commitment of a full facelift? At the Lanfranchi Center, we specialize in facial and neck rejuvenation procedures, including the TLC Mini Lift.
How Does a Mini Facelift Work?
If you want the most anti-aging benefits with the least amount of surgery and downtime, a mini facelift might be the answer. A mini facelift tightens and lifts the lower ⅓ of the face with smaller incisions than a regular facelift.
To perform a TLC Mini Lift, Dr. Lanfranchi typically makes small incisions along the hairline or above the ears, which will be inconspicuous once healed. He then removes excess tissue and repositions the skin and muscles for a smoother, more youthful midface and jawline.
Mini Facelift vs. Full Facelift
Dr. Lanfranchi specializes in procedures that rejuvenate the face and neck. He offers multiple types of facelifts and neck lifts, customizing each to the patient’s needs and goals. Whether you would benefit more from a mini or full lower facelift depends on your unique facial structure, the severity of your aging concerns, and your desired results.
A mini facelift won’t have quite as dramatic of results as a full lower facelift, and it may not work as well for significant skin laxity and sagging. However, a mini facelift requires smaller incisions and less downtime than a full lower facelift. This makes it ideal for those who want natural-looking facial rejuvenation with as little interruption to their life as possible.
What Results Will I See After a Mini Facelift?
You’ll start seeing benefits from your TLC Mini Lift as the swelling and bruising subside. Patients typically see results within two weeks and full results after a two months. Depending on your personalized mini facelift procedure, you’ll see improvements like:
- Reduced sagging and jowls
- A more defined jawline
- A smoother, more lifted lower face and neck
- Improved facial contours and cheekbone definition
- Reestablshment of “youthful shape”
How Long Do Mini Facelift Results Last?
Even though a mini facelift might not offer as extensive results as a regular facelift, those results will still be long-lasting. Most patients enjoy the benefits of a mini facelift for five to ten years. If you take good care of your skin, lead a healthy lifestyle, and avoid sun damage, you may have an even better outcome.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mini Facelift?
The TLC Mini Lift is ideal for mild to moderate signs of aging in the neck, lower face, and cheek area. For more severe aging or aging in the upper face, you may benefit from a full lower facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift. Patients typically have a mini facelift in their late 30s or 40s to address the first signs of age. Ideal candidates should be overall healthy, have realistic expectations, and have a positive outlook for the procedure.
After researching plastic surgeons for over a year, I decided on Dr Lanfranci since I wanted the best and he only does faces! He explained everything I needed at the consultation, so I booked my full facelift, necklift and chin implant. The day of surgery I was excited but calm, because I knew I was in good hands. I was in and out of sleep during the 4 hour procedure and didn’t feel any discomfort whatsoever. I only took Tylenol for the next 3 days and didn’t need any pain meds! My healing process went exceptionally well and I’m thrilled with the results! Dr Lanfranci and his staff are the best of the best!
