How Long Does a Mini Facelift Last? | Dr. Jonathan Sykes

https://drjonathansykes.com/ -- The question of how long a mini facelift lasts is the single most common question that I get asked by my facelift patients. What they really want to know is when they might need to repeat the procedure. To answer the question, we need to first look at the difference between a standard facelift, or deep plane facelift, which is my preference, and a mini facelift.

A mini facelift is performed with slightly shorter incisions, slightly less dissection and slightly less structural work. Because everything that’s done is less than a standard facelift, it lasts less time as well. A great example is if we inflate two balloons, but one balloon is inflated a little more. That balloon is going to take longer to deflate. In the balloon comparison, the mini facelift is the balloon that is inflated less.

Patients always like the sexiness of the word “mini,” but they never like mini results. Instead, they want big results that don’t look overdone. In the case of a facelift, patients are afraid of being over-lifted and looking unnatural, causing them to think that the mini facelift is a better choice. Irrespective of how old they are, they request a mini facelift because that’s the thing that they hear about and that’s what they think will result in a more natural look.

How long does does a mini facelift last?
It’s hard to quantify because of so many variables, but on the right candidate it can last up to 10 years.

How much does a mini facelift cost?
My charge for a Mini Facelift is $20,000 in my Beverly Hills office. That cost is not a lot less than a standard facelift because it’s just about as much work for me.
