Growing old is one of the biggest realities of our life. With old age comes sagging energy levels and sagging skin. Wrinkles and fine lines become more prominent after the woman crosses the age of 35. While anti-aging creams and cosmetics can offer a temporary respite from this problem, none of them is a permanent solution.

With advances in the field of cosmetology, mini-face lifts have become immensely popular in restoring a haggard face and sagging jowls. Talented cosmetologists are now literally turning the clock back in time and giving women super glowing, healthy and young skin with face-lift procedures. The procedure involves pulling back the skin and cleverly disguising the scar of the surgery behind the ear. The procedure is minimally invasive and affordable even for the common person.

The Weekend Face-Lift

As the name suggests, this is a face-lift procedure, which is literally done over a weekend due to its shorter recovery time. It allows the woman the option of getting it done over a holiday and returning to work the next day. The weekend face-lift is a non- surgical procedure in which mild cases of sagging cheeks and jowls can be easily corrected. The cost factor too is an attractive option, persuading people to go in for the procedure.

How Is It Done?

Since the recovery time is very short, the procedure primarily concentrates on the folds of the neck or even the nose to some extent. The doctor makes small incisions on the facial skin, lifts and folds the skin to restore skin suppleness. The skin may often be removed or repositioned elsewhere to give the face a more streamlined appearance.

Who Is Best Suited For It

The mini face-lift works best on younger candidates especially men and women who are into their 30’s and 40’s. Since the sagging and aging is not very brutal on their skin, the mini face-lift works wonders in uplifting the skin around the cheeks, chin and the jowls.

The Difference Between A Standard And Mini-Face Lift

Standard face-lifts are more complicated surgical procedures in which the entire facial skin may be rejuvenated, refolded and restored in order to give a more youthful appearance. This procedure is primarily done for people who are in their 50’s and 60’s. A mini face-lift on the other hand is targeted at very specific areas of the skin in order to tighten them.

Face-Lift Endoscopy

This is one of the newer technologies being employed in the area of mini face-lifts. Small endoscopic instruments are inserted into the skin in order to make incisions. The procedure is minimally invasive and results in very less scarring of the tissue. Excess fat may be sucked out from beneath the skin with the help of an endoscopic camera. This procedure is employed when the muscles have to be reshaped.

The Cost

The cost of the face-lift is quite affordable as the procedure is very simple with reduced recovery time. Certain hospitals may offer slightly higher prices especially when the services are upend.
