When to consider a mini-lift with Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Diana Ponsky

LOCATED IN BEACHWOOD | SERVING CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO

Considering a facelift, but worried about recovery time or want a less invasive treatment? Mini-lifts are suited for patients with less excess skin, as the results are less dramatic than a full facelift. A mini-lift targets the sagging around your cheeks and jawline that can make you look aged, tired, and stressed.

A mini-lift will reduce the cumulative effects of genetics, sun exposure, smoking, fixed expressions, and gravity on the face. With multiple approaches available, expert Cleveland facelift surgeon Dr. Diana Ponsky uses modern techniques which create more natural-looking results than ever before. Sometimes called the weekend facelift, the mini-lift is less invasive and requires less downtime than a traditional facelift.

How It Helps


The benefits of a mini-lift include reduced surgery and recovery time, as well as limited scarring. This minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation procedure creates a more sculpted jawline, softens nasolabial folds, minimizes lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, and improves the appearance of droopiness around the chin and neck.

Before

What to expect before a mini facelift

Dr. Diana Ponsky will begin your consultation by asking about your goals and expectations, then discuss any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors. After examining, photographing, and analyzing your face, the surgeons will discuss potential options and a recommended course of treatment, as well as outcomes, risks, or potential complications.

During

What to expect during a mini-lift

After anesthesia is administered, incisions are made at the sideburns, continuing around the ear. During your mini-lift, the surgeon will sculpt or remove fat, reposition underlying tissue and lift facial muscles. Once complete, the incisions are closed with sutures. Drains are typically not necessary.

After

What to expect after a mini facelift

Immediately after a mini facelift, restrictive dressings are placed over the incisions and around your head. Pain medications are usually prescribed and can help ease discomfort, but patients often take acetaminophen alone. While individual healing times vary, the swelling and bruising should be minimal. Makeup is usually enough to cover any signs of surgery until your face heals completely. Incision lines are well concealed within the hairline and in the natural creases and your face will appear much more youthful and toned.
