Mini Facelift

Short-Scar Periauricular SMAS Elevation Targeting Mid-Face Sagging, Nasolabial Folds, and Early Jowl Laxity

Mini Facelift — Soul Plastic Surgery

Overview of Mini Facelift

For patients experiencing early-to-moderate sagging of the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline—or those who find non-surgical Thread Lift and HIFU/RF Lifting Lasers insufficient—the Mini Facelift at Soul Plastic Surgery provides true surgical SMAS elevation with a shorter incision and faster recovery than a full facelift.

Surgical Highlights

  • Concealed Periauricular Incision: Uses a discreet incision hidden along the temporal hairline and natural contour of the tragus/anterior ear crease.
  • True SMAS Layer Fixation: Rather than pulling only the skin (which leads to wide scars or early relapse), our surgeons dissect and anchor the underlying SMAS fascia upward and laterally.
  • Streamlined Recovery: Focused dissection field minimizes bruising and downtime while visibly tightening sagging jowls and marionette lines.

For advanced pan-facial and cervical laxity, see our Full SMAS Facelift and Neck Lift, or book an evaluation on our Online Consultation page.

Clinical Risk & Side-Effect Notice: Individual outcomes vary by anatomy and healing response. Potential side effects such as bleeding, infection, inflammation, swelling, or asymmetry may occur; please consult directly with a board-certified specialist prior to treatment.
