Question: What areas of the face are addressed with a mini facelift?
Answer: A mini facelift mainly addresses the jowls and laxity under the chin and that is why many people will call this a form of a neck lift since it really does little to the cheek area. Mini lifts can definitely improve marionette lines if they are long and overall they are extremely successful at rejuvenating the lower third of a face. The upside of the mini lift is that it can be performed in an office setting using strictly local anesthetic and is much less expensive than a more advanced style of facelift technique; however, for many patients, especially those with more advanced signs of aging, they would be better served with the more advanced facelift techniques since they will ultimately get a better result that will last much longer.
