Mini Facelift Newport Beach & Orange County

A mini facelift is a great option for patients with a mild degree of sagging skin and jowling. It is a less-invasive technique than a full facelift which allows Dr. Sadati to tighten deep facial tissues through shorter incisions, which are usually located along the hairline above each ear or in the natural creases surrounding the ear. Through these incisions, tissues around the cheeks are lifted and tightened, and the jawline is refined. This facial enhancement procedure can help to address early signs of aging before they become more pronounced, postponing your need for more extensive surgery for years.

Preparing for Your Mini Facelift

If you have a mild to moderate amount of facial aging, you may be able to benefit from a mini facelift. Prior to your procedure, you will be asked to stop smoking at least six weeks before and after your plastic surgery procedure. This is because nicotine may hinder the healing process. You may also be asked to discontinue use of certain medications that may thin the blood. Any pre-op instructions can be discussed with Dr. Sadati and his team during your consultation and prior to your procedure.

What to Expect During your Mini Facelift Recovery

The mini facelift is performed as an outpatient procedure, so patients can return home after surgery to recover. Be sure to have a responsible adult who can drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first night of your recovery. You may be provided with a compression garment to ear home to help prevent swelling. Bruising, swelling, and redness may occur, and any discomfort that occurs can be controlled with pain medication. Patients may also experience a feeling of “tightness” around the lower portion of the face and neck, which may be accompanied by minor numbness around the ears. This is normal and will dissipate with time.

Recovery time may vary, and some patients can return to work within a week. It may take up to a year before final results are apparent. You will be required to return to Dr. Sadati’s office for a follow-up consultation. Any sutures will be removed after about a week.

My experience with Dr. Sadati was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a physician. I never had considered getting a face lift until I started feeling unhappy with how I looked in the mirror. He has really mastered his craft – Dr. Sadati is your guy if you are looking for a great facelift!
