Mini Facelift at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
As we age, skin laxity, fine lines, and sagging in the lower face and jawline can create a tired or aged appearance. A mini facelift, also known as a short scar facelift or weekend facelift, is a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift. It focuses on tightening and lifting the lower face and jawline, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we specialize in delivering subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your beauty while maintaining the integrity of your facial features. Our experienced surgeons will guide you through the process with expert care and personalized attention.
Why Choose a Mini Facelift?
Many patients opt for a mini facelift for the following reasons:
- Improving mild to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Softening nasolabial folds and jowls
- Achieving facial rejuvenation with minimal scarring and downtime
- Delaying the need for a full facelift
- Restoring youthful contours for a refreshed, confident appearance
Our focus is to provide results that are subtle, natural, and enhance your facial harmony.
Customized Approach to Your Mini Facelift
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, every mini facelift is customized based on the patient’s facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Key Features of the Mini Facelift:
- Shorter Incisions: Incisions are typically placed around the ears and hairline, making them easily concealed.
- Targeted Tissue Lifting: The underlying tissues and muscles (SMAS layer) are tightened for longer-lasting results.
- Minimal Skin Removal: Only a small amount of excess skin is removed, reducing healing time and risk of complications.
During your consultation, we will assess your individual needs and determine if a mini facelift is the best option for you.

The Procedure: What to Expect
A mini facelift is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and surgical plan.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: Small incisions are made around the ears and along the natural hairline.
- Tissue Lifting: The underlying SMAS layer is lifted and tightened to improve contour and reduce sagging.
- Excess Skin Removal: Minimal skin is trimmed to enhance the smoothness of the facial contour.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
The procedure generally takes 1.5 to 3 hours, and patients typically return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after a mini facelift is generally faster and less intensive than a traditional facelift.
You will be advised to:
- Wear a supportive facial garment as instructed
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2–3 weeks
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling and bruising
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team
- Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Most patients return to normal daily activities within 7 to 10 days, with final results becoming visible as swelling resolves.
Natural and Lasting Results
A mini facelift can provide subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation, restoring youthful contours and definition to your lower face and jawline. Our surgeons are committed to achieving results that look natural and balanced.
With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a mini facelift can last for many years.
