Are you starting to recognize the early signs of getting older? Sagging cheeks and loose skin around the lower face are among the first signs of aging. Mini facelift surgery may be what you need to look and feel refreshed again. At DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we can provide skin tightening services and more.
A mini facelift uses a less invasive technique than traditional facelift surgery, so patients achieve natural, more subtle results. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Boston, MA, Dr. Jaimie DeRosa is proud to provide fantastic anti-aging solutions to women and men. Learn how this procedure works by contacting our clinic for an assessment.
About the mini facelift technique
Surprisingly, people experience the first signs of aging beginning in their 30s. This is when we start to produce less collagen, which is responsible for keeping our skin tight and plump-looking. As we enter our 40s and 50s, collagen loss results in sagging cheeks and jowls, along with fine lines and creases. Facelift surgery is a popular and proven way to reduce these effects and take years off your appearance.
With today’s surgical advancements, there are now several variations of facelift surgery designed to meet your needs. While a traditional facelift addresses advanced sagging skin, a mini facelift is best for mild to moderate skin tightening. The incisions tend to be smaller, recovery time shorter, and final results more natural. Dr. DeRosa is a facial plastic surgeon in Boston who can let you know which facelift technique is best for you.
Benefits of mini facelift surgery
There are many advantages to getting mini facelift surgery. DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can personalize treatment based on your cosmetic goals, so if you have sagging cheeks, we can target those areas. We even offer injectables, such as dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, to make your outcomes more noticeable. These agents can smooth out lines and creases and make your results last even longer.
Another perk of getting a mini facelift procedure is that it is less invasive than traditional surgery. Patients can benefit from:
-
A faster recovery period
-
Minimal scarring
-
Fewer side effects
-
Lower risk of complications
Candidates for mini facelift surgery
Working with an expert is the first step in determining if skin tightening is right for you. During an assessment in Boston, MA, Dr. DeRosa or a member of our team will examine your skin and make sure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery. Younger patients in their 30s and 40s can benefit from a mini facelift as well as older individuals. Most people who seek this procedure want to treat the mid– to lower face, including sagging skin and loss of volume. Candidates for a mini facelift procedure should have some skin elasticity to get good results.
