Mini Face Lift

Concern

An aging face will eventually lead to sagging of the malar fat pads (cheeks).

Treatment

The mini face lift is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia to recreate fullness of the midface and eliminate wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. Through small surgical incisions the cheek fat pad is repositioned to recreate a younger appearance. It can be combined with eyelid corrections and other lift procedures. Sutures will be removed after 5 days.
