Subtle Lift, Smaller Incisions, Faster Recovery, Tailored For You.
What Is A Mini Face Lift?
A mini face lift, 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 A Mini Face Lift Compare To a Full Face Lift?
A mini face lift 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 face lift 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Face Lifts
-
Most patients enjoy results for 7 to 10 years, though individual results vary depending on skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle factors.
-
Incisions are short and placed around the ear, making them easy to conceal. With proper care, scars fade over time.
-
Light activities can usually resume within a week, and most patients return to exercise in 2 to 3 weeks.
-
During a mini facelift, your surgeon makes small incisions around the ear, lifts and secures the deeper support layer of the face, and gently redrapes the skin. The process usually takes a few hours, and most patients return home the same day.
