Facelift without general anesthesia? Yes it is possible!

Mini facelift or how to get a young face in a short time!

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity. Then we note with horror that wrinkles appear day by day on our skin, which continues to sag. Our mirror gives us a tired and dull image. Then we start to rack our brains and wonder what to do to reverse this phenomenon that causes us to lose our radiance and our youth over time?

The answer to all is found: . Yes, but isn't facelift meant for people over 60? Is general anesthesia needed? What to do when you are still very young and refuse general anesthesia?

In this case, it is better to opt for a mini-facelift.

What is a mini facelift?

A mini facelift (or mini facelift) is a lighter facelift than a cervicofacial facelift (full facelift). This is a short-term procedure aimed at minor changes in the lower part of the face to treat the first signs of aging. 

In addition to much more natural results than a full facelift, one of the advantages of a mini facelift is that it is performed under local anesthesia, with a quick recovery period and minimal postoperative consequences. 

Why choose a mini facelift over a cervicofacial lift?

General anesthesia is not for everyone. Many people are afraid of this and prefer to avoid it. But what if we still want to treat the signs of aging that are becoming more and more visible on our face and resort to a facelift? After all, a facelift remains one of the most effective methods of dealing with wrinkles, which gradually deepen on the face.

A mini facelift is the solution. Indeed, this procedure can take place entirely under local anesthesia.

On the other hand, the mini facelift brings rather light and subtle corrections, mainly aimed at the lower part of the face and neck. It is designed to treat slightly loose skin in the cheek and neck area. Therefore, it is prescribed to young patients (XNUMX-XNUMX years old) who are just beginning to show signs of aging on their faces.

When can a mini facelift be used?

It is from the age of thirty that signs of old age begin to show their nose. And the more time passes, the more traces of time are squeezed out on our face. 

Therefore, it is usually recommended to resort to a mini facelift as soon as the first signs of aging appear, as soon as we feel that our skin is starting to sag. 

Therefore, a mini facelift is intended for patients whose skin is still young enough to guarantee optimal results (eg, between the ages of 35 and 55).

How is a mini facelift performed?

Treatment of the first signs of aging with a facelift is carried out according to the same principles as a full facelift, with the difference that when the skin is peeling, the effect is much lighter and more moderate. 

Restoring muscle tension is a very important step in ensuring the correct position of both fat and skin tissue. 

What are the benefits of a mini facelift?

Exists under another nickname: "fast elevator". As you have already understood, one of the main advantages of a mini facelift is that it is performed quickly.

But what makes it different from a full facelift?

The lightness of its wingspan, which has two advantages:

- Possibility of use for people who are still young and wish to slow down the aging process of the skin as soon as it appears on the face.

- Prevention of skin laxity and the development of signs of aging. This allows you to delay both the appearance of jaws and the need for a more complete facelift.

Thus, the mini facelift has a double action: it treats the first signs of aging and at the same time prevents and delays the development of future signs.

Mini facelift: which regions are we talking about?

A mini facelift mainly targets two areas of the face:

- The lower part of the face. Intervention in this part of the face allows you to redefine its oval.

- Neck. Intervention in this area can eliminate the first wrinkles on the neck.

Eventually…

If you are tempted by a facelift to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, but you are still young for a cervico-facial lift and you do not like general anesthesia, then the mini-lift is for you!
