Mini Facelift Beverly Hills
As we age, we lose the vitality and elasticity of our skin. Fine lines, sagging skin and crow’s feet can develop, leading to us looking older than we are. Traditionally, a full facelift is recommended by experts who wish to improve the appearance of their skin.
But sometimes, a full facelift isn’t the ideal solution for a patient, either due to personal preference or due to medical concerns. This is where a mini facelift helps.

Choose the Weekend Facelift for Gorgeous Youthful Skin
Sagging skin and wrinkles can detract the beauty of your face. One of the best ways to address this concern is to choose the mini facelift treatment.
Our Los Angeles mini facelift is performed similar to a full facelift, with just one exception. As opposed to a full facelift (where the entire face is lifted), only a certain section of the face is lifted and treated here. Due to the treatment’s short procedure time and limited recovery time, it is also known as the weekend facelift.
The Benefits of Mini Facelift over Full Facelift
Although both are surgical procedures, mini facelifts offer patients a whole range of benefits that are not available in full facelifts. These advantages are:
- Mini facelifts are less invasive compared to full facelifts
- They have a very short procedure time
- The potential for scarring is very negligible
- They are much more pocket-friendly compared to full facelifts
- There are no pre-surgical restrictions
- They have a very short recovery time
Given these benefits, more patients are choosing to have the mini facelift treatment, as opposed to the full facelift treatment.
Eligibility for a Mini Facelift
Patients aged between 30 and 65 years make the best candidates for one the best procedures of mini facelift Los Angeles has to offer. A person who still has partial elasticity in the skin is the ideal candidate. When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Torkian will analyze your skin to understand whether you are a good candidate for the surgery or not.
The Treatment Procedure
Step 1: Consultation
It is extremely important to have realistic expectations out of the procedure. The mini facelift is designed to improve the appearance of your skin. But, it will not change the way you look. Be sure to discuss all your queries and concerns with Dr. Torkian during the initial consultation.
If you are on medication or have undergone a surgery or are allergic to anything, let the doctor know. This information is important to choose the right anesthesia and post-surgical medication.
The best thing about the mini facelift is how it can be personalized to suit your exact requirements. Once you come in for a consultation, Dr. Torkian will analyze your face and mark the areas that need lifting. Then, he will design a couture treatment plan designed especially for your cosmetic and medical requirements.
Step 2: The Surgical Procedure
This procedure is an in-patient procedure and you will need to get admitted to the clinic for the same. Dr. Torkian will start by giving you the anesthesia. Local anesthesia is usually used, unless prescribed otherwise.
The surgical procedure of the mini facelift is similar to that of the full facelift, but with minute differences. There are two basic types of mini facelifts:
The Anterior Mini Facelifts:
These are surgeries performed on the lower part of the face and are designed to improve the appearance and elasticity of your skin. Augmentation of the cheeks and lips also may be done during this procedure.
The procedure starts with an incision at the ears and proceeds to the upper hairline. The sagging muscles and tissues of the face are tightened and pulled-back to make the face firm.
The Posterior Mini Facelifts:
These facelifts are designed to treat the neck and the jowl. These surgeries also start with an incision at the ears which move to the hairline. But, instead of an incision towards the forehead, the incision is made closer to the lower part of the face. The sagging fat is removed and the muscles and tissues are pulled-back and tightened.
In a full facelift procedure, these surgeries are done simultaneously. However, in mini facelifts, both the upper and the lower part of the face are lifted separately.
Step 3: Post-Surgical Recovery
As with all surgical procedures, there may be some post-surgical pain, tenderness and bleeding. But these will reduce within a few hours of the surgery. Scarring, bruising, tenderness and swelling are also common post-surgery. These signs will reduce a few weeks after the surgery.
Patients are requested not to expose their faces to the sun for a few weeks after the surgery. You are also advised not to lift heavy objects and to not add pressure to your face. After a week or two, all of the symptoms exhibited will disappear and leave your face beautiful and blemish-free.
The results of the mini facelifts usually last for up to 5-6 months and the doctor may ask you to return for a check-up post-recovery. Usually, after a mini facelift procedure, medical professionals recommend laser skin resurfacing for follow-up treatments, as opposed to another facelift surgery.
The doctor will provide you a customized post-surgical recovery plan. Be sure to follow all his instructions for a safe and speedy recovery.
