A mini facelift is a surgical procedure that targets early to moderate signs of aging in the lower face — particularly sagging along the jawline, mild jowling, and loss of definition near the chin and cheeks. It’s sometimes called a “short scar facelift” or “weekend lift” because it uses smaller incisions and generally involves a quicker recovery than a traditional facelift.
Unlike dermal fillers or skin-tightening treatments, a mini facelift repositions the deeper tissues of the face (known as the SMAS layer), not just the skin. This allows for more lasting, natural-looking results without the more dramatic changes of a full facelift.
During your consultation at Your Aesthetic Edge near Houston, Dr. Mihail Climov will help you determine whether a mini facelift or a full facelift is better suited to your anatomy and goals.
For many patients in their 40s to 60s who aren’t quite ready for a full facelift, this “in-between” procedure delivers subtle, beautiful results that delay the need for more extensive surgery.

A mini facelift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at Your Aesthetic Edge under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your needs and comfort level. Dr. Mihail Climov uses precise surgical techniques to minimize trauma, promote faster healing, and deliver natural results.
Through a shorter incision, Dr. Climov carefully lifts and tightens the underlying tissue layers of the lower face. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped smoothly.

If desired, your mini facelift can be combined with a neck lift or facial fat grafting for more comprehensive enhancement.
One of the biggest advantages of a mini facelift is the relatively short and manageable recovery period.

A mini facelift uses smaller incisions and targets early to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline. It is less invasive than a full facelift, has a shorter recovery time, and is best for patients with mild aging concerns. A full facelift addresses more extensive aging across the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Mini facelift results typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on your age, skin quality, and lifestyle. While it won’t stop aging, it can significantly delay the need for more invasive treatments.
Most patients experience mild discomfort, tightness, or swelling for the first few days after surgery. Dr. Climov provides detailed aftercare instructions and appropriate pain management to ensure a smooth recovery.
Incisions are placed discreetly around the ears and within natural creases. With proper care, scars fade significantly over time and are typically difficult to detect.
Yes. Many Houston patients combine a mini facelift with a neck lift, fat transfer, or Ultherapy for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. These combinations are discussed during your consultation.
