What Is A Mini Face Lift?
A mini facelift, sometimes called a short scar or lower face lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that targets early to moderate laxity along the cheeks, jawline, and jowls using smaller, well-hidden incisions. At Revive Palmetto, we gently tighten the deeper support layer of the face (called the SMAS) so the lift looks natural and lasts longer, without the pulled appearance.
How Does It Compare To a Full Face Lift?
A mini facelift focuses on the lower face and jawline using smaller incisions, making it less invasive with a quicker recovery (about 7–10 days). It’s ideal for people with mild to moderate sagging. A full facelift addresses more advanced aging, often lifting the midface, lower face, and neck with longer incisions. Recovery takes longer (2–3 weeks), but results are more dramatic and typically last longer.
