Mini Facelift & Short Scar Facelift

Q: How long will the results be?

The results of a mini facelift can be long lasting. However, your face will continue to age, and various lifestyle factors can also have an effect. The duration will differ for everyone. However other procedures can be performed down the track to maintain a natural, youthful aesthetic.

Q: What is involved in the procedure?

The mini facelift does not require any deep cutting. A limited area of the face will be operated on to lower risk of complication and recovery time.

Q: Is this the same as a thread lift?

Where the thread lift involves permanent sutures placed under the skin, the mini facelift restores deeper tissues to a more youthful position, in a similar, but far more minimal way to the standard facelift. The information on the website is for general guidance only and cannot be used as a basis to make a surgical decision, an initial consultation with our surgeon is required to help patients make an informed decision before proceeding with any surgical procedure.

With the mini facelift or short scar facelift, a more rejuvenated appearance is achieved with the bonus of a lower-impact process.

The mini facelift offered at PCLS Coffs Harbour restores deeper tissue to a more youthful position to reduce sagging in the facial and neck regions. This can rectify the older appearance that is often caused by sagging skin and deeper tissues. The short scar facelift is a variation of the technique that uses smaller incisions and offers a shorter recovery time better suited to the area around the cheeks and jowls.

The mini facelift is also a method for tightening loose facial muscles, creating a firmer and more youthful aesthetic. Both of these procedures offer similar results to the full facelift, with less cost and required downtime. These procedures are part of the many facial rejuvenation options here at PCLS.

Both the mini facelift and short scar facelift suit various requirements. A consultation is the first step to determine which, if either, are right for you. To help point you in the right direction, the following points make for a suitable candidate:

You hope for a rejuvenated appearance in the face
Sagging or loose facial tissue requires removal or tightening
Sagging tissue that is making you appear older
You have loose facial muscles

Your suitability for either of these procedures will be confirmed during a consultation with the PCLS team. At this point, you will also be given the necessary information for both the procedure and recovery process, along with a discussion about previous cosmetic surgery procedures you may have had in the past will also be relevant
