Not ready for a full face-lift procedure? Consider the "Mini-Facelift” The mini-facelift utilizes a small incision
under local anesthesia and has a one week recovery period. The S-Lift gives an instant younger appearance.
Often called the “weekend facelift,” the S-Lift decreases signs of aging
in the face, neck and jaw areas,
and best benefits those with excessive
skin laxity or deep wrinkles. Skin is tightened with resurfacing laser
treatment,
muscles are tightened with a loop suture, and skin is lifted
and re-laid along the cheeks and jaws. Fatty deposits are
removed or
repositioned and excess skin is tightened through an incision that runs in
front of the ears, and into the
scalp.
Recovery time from an S-Lift is about a week, and discomfort is significantly less intense than that of a traditional facelift.
Mini-facelifts carry fewer risks than traditional facelift procedures because they are less invasive and can be performed
under local anesthesia instead of general.
