Mini Facelift
The mini facelift is suitable for early signs of sagging skin and combines targeted tightening with a gentle approach. Regenerative procedures such as autologous fat grafting, nanofat or exosomes can be used as complementary treatments to harmoniously restore lost volume and visibly improve skin quality. As a result, the face not only appears firmer, but also fresher, more vibrant and naturally rejuvenated. When combined with a neck lift, a comprehensive and harmonious rejuvenation of the face and neck can be achieved.

Key Information

Consultation
During a face-to-face consultation, the facial anatomy and the individual age-related changes to the face and neck are carefully analysed. We work together to define your wishes and the optimal treatment strategy. You will also receive comprehensive information about the procedure, its effects, any potential risks and the realistic results you can expect.
Preparation
To ensure optimal wound healing, you should stop smoking for around four weeks before and after the operation. Following consultation with your doctor, blood-thinning medication should be stopped or adjusted a few days before and after the procedure. In addition, the treated area should be consistently protected from sunlight, which is why the daily use of sun cream is recommended.
Surgery / Injection
The mini facelift is performed under general anaesthesia. The skin and underlying structures are tightened via discreet incisions, usually made along the hairline and around the ear. This produces a natural and long-lasting result for early signs of sagging skin, without creating a ‘mask-like’ effect. If required, the procedure can also be combined with regenerative treatments to improve skin quality and address volume loss.
Aftercare
Depending on the findings, patients will either be discharged as outpatients or kept in hospital overnight for observation following the operation. Afterwards, patients should allow their bodies sufficient rest for around one week and cool their faces regularly. Most patients are able to resume normal social activities after around one to two weeks. During the healing phase, patients should ensure they use sun protection consistently.
Result
A naturally rejuvenated appearance with clearly defined facial contours, an improved chin-to-neck line and visibly rejuvenated skin, without looking as though you’ve had surgery. Long-lasting results for up to 10 years.
