Risks and Complications • Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ : Surgical Procedure What are mini face lift? Mini facelifts are generally appropriate for people who show aging in the mid-face and do not have a severe amount of excess skin around their jaw line and neck. Mini facelifts do not stop the aging process but merely "set the clock back." How much pain is there? Minimal facelifts can be performed quickly and with little risk, but the degree of correction achieved by these lifts is also less. More extensive techniques can give better correction of the aging changes in the face, but at the cost of greater operating time, more risk, longer swelling, slower recovery, and greater cost. Make sure that you discuss your goals, budget, and risk tolerance with your surgeon to decide on the plan that is best for you. How long will I be out of work after a mini face lift? Most patients are able to return to work in two to three weeks after short-scar face lift plastic surgery. Some people believe that the recovery and bruising after this type of operation is minor compared to that of a traditional face lift. However, this has not been proven in the literature. You should allow four to eight weeks before major social engagements. FAQ : Result What is the difference between a mini facelift and a traditional face lift? A mini face lift has a shorter, more limited incision than that of a traditional face lift. The incision used for a mini face lift may sometimes be as little as one-half the length of a traditional face lift incision and eliminates most of the incisions behind the ears. Thus, it is more "pony-tail friendly."
