Mini-facelift vs full facelift | Why we don't do mini-facelifts
We don't do mini-facelifts at McKeown Medical - here's Dr Darren McKeown explaining why.
A mini-facelift is a less invasive procedure that is claimed to deliver similar results to a facelift, but with less downtime and fewer risks. It involves making the same sort of incisions as a facelift around the ears, although instead of lifting the deeper tissues of the face and neck, it simply puts a few stitches in to place tension on the face and remove some skin around the ears. This tends to give the appearance of a nice improvement in the short term, but because the deeper tissues of the face have not been repositioned properly, the results do not last very long.
Simply placing a few stitches below the skin to hold the deep tissues is a short term solution, and the tension is lost over a period of months. As the tension from a mini-facelift gives way, it can sometimes even level some unnatural pull marks on the surface of the skin.
Although the idea of a mini-facelift sounds appealing - less downtime, fewer risks - the results are usually not worth it and, even though it is less invasive, it can still produce unnatural results. For our patients who are at the stage of needing a surgical procedure, we prefer to undertake a more comprehensive procedure to really reposition the soft tissues of the face and create a result that is both natural and long lasting.
