When you find yourself pulling back the skin on either side of your face as you look in the mirror, it may be time to consider the amazing Mini Facelift that will put the “you” back in youth.

The Mini Facelift (also known as the Hour Lift, S Lift or Weekend Lift) is a miraculous first line of defense against early signs of aging. It is the perfect answer for men and women whose skin is beginning to lose elasticity, but are not in need of a full-scale facelift.

Dr. Seiger has successfully performed over 2,500 Mini Facelift cases over the last 15 years. Not as invasive as a traditional facelift, the “Mini Lift” is performed in the office, is less costly, safer and requires very little downtime. Eighty-five percent of patients get no bruising and are back to normal activities in 3 days.

During your complimentary consultation, you will view many Before and After photographs and Dr. Seiger himself will address your desires and concerns, and together map out the best treatment plan to meet and exceed your expectations.

Many people complement their Mini Facelift procedure with other treatments, as the Mini Facelift treats only the lower face and upper neck. It does not target forehead wrinkles, crow's feet or bags under the eyes. Be sure to ask about our full menu of procedures that can be added, such as an Eyelid Surgery, Brow Lift, Laser Resurfacing and Lip Enhancement.

Preparation:
Dr. Seiger often recommends the use of skincare products prior to a procedure but otherwise there is no preparation needed as long as you are in good health.

Procedure:

Step by Step Mini Facelift:

1.  Premedication is generally given to relax the patient.

2.  Local anesthesia utilizing the revolutionary Tumescent technique, is administered to insure the patient experiences minimal discomfort throughout the procedure.

3.  Dr. Seiger makes an incision in the natural crease of the skin. The incision originates at the temple inside the hairline, above and forward of the ear and continues around the front of the earlobe.

4.  Dr. Seiger lifts the skin outward and tightens and repositions the underlying muscles and tissues.

5.  At this point, extra skin and fat may be removed.

6.  The incision is closed with the smallest possible sutures.

From start to finish, the entire procedure takes approximately an hour and a half. Healing time varies slightly among patients, but the Tumescent technique for anesthesia allows for a shortened recovery period.

Aftercare:
You can anticipate an easy and safe recovery.

Pain is generally minimal and can be controlled with oral medication

Post surgery, instead of bandages you will wear an ice containing head garment for 24-48 hours. You then will most likely be able to shampoo and wear make-up the day after surgery.

Your sutures will be removed in six to eight days.

85% of patients experience no bruising afterwards and most likely you will be able to resume normal activities within three days.

Results:
You can expect to look rested, refreshed, five to ten years younger with results usually lasting 5-10 years.
