Mini facelift or partial facelift
Mini facelift, also known as mini facelift or partial facelift, is a less invasive surgical procedure than the traditional facelift. It is designed to address signs of aging in the face and neck to a lesser degree than the full facelift. It primarily focuses on lifting, repositioning and tightening both the skin and deeper structures in the cheeks and jawline to provide a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. As it is a more limited intervention, recovery will also be quicker and easier.

Is it possible to combine aesthetic medicine with facial surgery?
Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved if a correct initial diagnosis is made.
We will always carry out a comprehensive assessment of facial aesthetics, and you can choose from three paths:
With cosmetic surgery we can
Repositioning tissues that have fallen
Recover tissues that have atrophied over the years.
With aesthetic medicine we can
Correct small asymmetries with a high degree of detail that we cannot achieve with surgery.
Correct dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin.
Increase skin brightness with hydration and nutrition thanks to hyaluronic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good candidates for a mini facelift are people who have moderate signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging cheeks and jawline, but who do not need a full facelift.
The time it takes to perform a mini facelift can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the techniques used, but generally lasts between one and two hours.
Recovery from a mini facelift is usually quicker than that from a full facelift. Patients may experience swelling and bruising for the first few days, but can usually return to normal activities within one to two weeks.
The results of a mini facelift can last for several years, although the natural aging process will continue to affect facial appearance over time.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, which may include infection, bleeding, abnormal scarring, facial asymmetry, and changes in sensation. However, these risks are low when the procedure is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an appropriate setting.
Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved with a correct initial diagnosis.
When we carry out a comprehensive facial assessment, we may encounter cases that require only aesthetic medicine, others surgery and others, in the majority of cases, where both techniques are combined.
With cosmetic surgery we can:

No, facial surgery does not usually change the expression of the face as an “accident” or “side effect” of the surgery. We will only change the expression if that is the OBJECTIVE. For example: in faces that express a feeling of sadness or tiredness, usually due to an extreme drooping of the side of the eyebrows or the lateral corner of the eyes. In these cases, their structure and position can be anatomically modified.
Postoperative
It is important to understand that with facial cosmetic surgery we improve facial structures at a specific point in time, but from then on time and gravity will continue to act on the face
It depends on the technique used and the patient's genetic characteristics. Normally we are talking about 8 to 20 years, although this varies. It is very important to achieve natural results and adapt to the unique facial characteristics of each patient.
No. Facelift surgery only treats the superficial structures of the face.
After 3 months, the results are considered more or less stable and definitive after 12 months.
No. There is discomfort due to the initial inflammation, but with local cold and anti-inflammatories it remains a mild, punctual discomfort.
