Sagging cheeks can cause your face to lose volume. The consequences can include a double chin and downturned mouth corners. This can make you look older and more tired than you actually are. If a traditional facelift seems too extensive or invasive, you should consider a mini-lift. More and more men and women aged between 40 and 50 are opting for a mini-lift. The treatment is particularly effective for counteracting the earliest signs of ageing on your facial skin.
What are the options for a mini-lift?
In the preparation phase of a cosmetic procedure, you should find out as much as possible about the treatment. Most people who opt for a mini-lift are between 40 and 50 years old. This age group is facing the symptoms of an ageing face for the first time. The mini-lift can help in the fight against small wrinkles. The mini-lift achieves good and visible results. However, the results are not exaggerated. The classic Facelift leads to a significantly more radical change. Thanks to the mini-lift, your skin will appear younger while your face retains a natural radiance. During the treatment, a specialist will lift the superficial skin tissue along your jawline. The treatment can be performed under local anaesthetic. If the signs of ageing are already at an advanced stage, a mini-lift may no longer be a suitable treatment. In this case, the treating specialist will advise you on Alternative cosmetic procedures point out.
MINI-LIFT, THE TREATMENT
Before treatment, you will have a detailed consultation with the treating specialist. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to express your wishes and expectations, as well as ask questions about the treatment. The differences between a mini-lift and other cosmetic treatments will also be discussed. Furthermore, the specialist will inquire about your medical history, general health, and any current medications you are taking. Based on your skin condition, the specialist will determine if you are a suitable candidate for a mini-lift. At the end of the consultation, the specialist will create a personalised treatment plan. This treatment plan will also include aftercare instructions.
EXPECTATIONS AND RESULTS OF A MINI-LIFT
On the day of the operation, the plastic surgeon will make markings on your face. This will be discussed with you beforehand. Depending on your preference, the treatment can take place under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic. The surgeon will first make a small incision near your ears. A portion of the skin will be detached from the underlying tissue and „pulled“ towards your ear. Excess skin will be removed and the incision will be stitched. The total duration of the procedure is between 1.5 and 2 hours.
After a short recovery period, you can leave the clinic on the same day. Following the mini-lift, a compression bandage will support your scalp. This helps to prevent swelling and bruising. Should swelling and bruising occur, they usually disappear within a week. The results of a mini-lift are permanent. However, you must remember that the natural ageing process continues. This, in turn, does not change the fact that your face will still show a visible effect of the mini-lift after approximately 10 years. You can positively influence the result by following the specialist's advice and rules. A significant example is smoking, which negatively affects blood vessels. If you smoke before treatment, this can negatively affect wound healing after the operation. With a few small changes to your daily life, you can minimise the recovery phase and enjoy a radiant face sooner and for longer.
