Mini Facelift
YOUTHFUL REJUVENATION AT REFRESH MEDISPA
A mini facelift, also known as a small incision facelift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address early signs of ageing in the lower face and neck. It targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls, providing a subtle yet rejuvenated appearance without the extensive downtime associated with traditional facelifts.
About Mini Facelift
During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions around the ears or temples, minimising visible scarring. Excess skin is then lifted and tightened, and underlying tissues may be repositioned or sutured to restore a more youthful contour. Liposuction may be utilised to remove excess fat deposits, enhancing jawline definition and reducing the appearance of jowls.
Recovery from a mini facelift is typically shorter than that of a traditional facelift, with minimal bruising and swelling. Patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. While initial results are noticeable shortly after surgery, final results become more apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks.
With proper skincare and sun protection, the results of a mini facelift can last for several years, helping patients maintain a more youthful and vibrant appearance as they age. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon ensure optimal satisfaction and long-term success.

FAQs
- Am I suitable for a mini facelift?
Good candidates for a mini facelift are typically individuals with early signs of facial ageing, such as mild to moderate skin laxity, jowls, or wrinkles in the lower face and neck. They desire subtle rejuvenation without the extensive downtime associated with traditional facelift surgery. A consultation with Refresh Medispa’s surgeon helps determine candidacy.
- Can a mini facelift combine with other treatments?
Other facial treatments that complement a mini facelift include dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, FaceTite, AccuTite or laser skin rejuvenation. Fillers can restore volume to areas like the cheeks or lips, while anti-wrinkle injections address dynamic wrinkles. Laser treatments improve skin texture and tone, enhancing overall facial rejuvenation and prolonging results.
When looking to enhance overall facial harmony, or achieve extended youthful rejuvenation, other procedures such as an eyelid lift can support results.
- Is a mini facelift safe?
When performed by Refresh Medispa’s experienced surgeon, a mini facelift is generally safe. It involves smaller incisions and less extensive tissue manipulation than a traditional facelift, reducing risks. Pre-operative evaluation ensures patient suitability, while adherence to surgical protocols minimises complications, ensuring a safer procedure.
- What downtime should I expect following a mini facelift?
Following a mini facelift, patients typically experience minimal downtime ranging from one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling are common but usually subside within this timeframe. Most individuals can resume normal activities gradually during the recovery period, with final results becoming noticeable as swelling resolves.
- How long do results from a mini facelift last?
The results of a mini facelift are long-lasting, typically providing several years of improvement in facial appearance. While the ageing process continues, the structural changes made during the procedure endure. With proper skincare and lifestyle habits, patients can maintain a more youthful and refreshed appearance over time.
