If you’re starting to notice early signs of aging around your jawline or lower face, a mini facelift with Dr. Burchhardt may be the ideal solution. This minimally invasive procedure is perfect for patients who want subtle rejuvenation without the downtime of a full facelift.
Reverse early signs of aging with minimal downtime
A mini facelift is a surgical procedure that addresses mild to moderate signs of aging in the lower face, particularly around the jawline and upper neck. Unlike a full facelift, it involves shorter incisions and less extensive tissue manipulation. Dr. Burchhardt carefully lifts and tightens the underlying structures to redefine facial contours and remove excess skin.
This technique delivers a refreshed, more youthful appearance with minimal scarring and faster recovery. It’s ideal if you want noticeable improvement while preserving your natural look.
Mini facelifts correct:
- Mild sagging around the jawline
- Early jowling and facial laxity
- Loose skin in the lower face
- Softening of the chin and jaw definition
- Subtle creases or folds near the mouth
- Early signs of neck skin laxity
How to choose the right facelift for you
Facial aging doesn’t look the same for everyone, which is why there are several types of facelifts available, each done to address degrees of aging. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or a more transformative lift, Dr. Burchhardt offers a range of advanced facelift techniques tailored to your unique facial anatomy, aging pattern, and desired outcome. Here’s a closer look at the different facelift options and what makes each one distinct:
Mini facelift:
Ideal for early signs of aging, this less-invasive procedure focuses on the lower face and jawline, using smaller incisions and a faster recovery period.
SMAS facelift:
Addresses deeper structural aging in the midface and lower face by lifting and tightening the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer for pronounced results.
Deep plane facelift:
A more advanced facelift that repositions the deeper facial tissues and underlying muscles as one unit for dramatic yet natural-looking results.
Facelift:
A foundational facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts and repositions sagging facial tissues through discreet incisions and restores youthful contours to the mid and lower face.
Revision facelift:
Customized for patients who have had a previous facelift and now need refinement or correction of recurrent sagging, asymmetry, or suboptimal results.
Choosing the right facelift depends on your stage of aging, facial anatomy, prior procedures, and personal aesthetic goals. Dr. Burchhardt takes the time to evaluate your needs thoroughly and discuss each option with you. Her expert eye and individualized approach ensure that you receive a treatment plan that enhances your features with natural, beautiful results.
