What Is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is designed to address mild sagging, fine lines, and early jowling in the lower face and along the jawline. It provides many of the same benefits as a full facelift, but with:
- Smaller incisions for less scarring
- Shorter recovery time for faster return to daily activities
- Targeted improvements for early to moderate signs of aging
Whether you want to refresh your appearance or extend the results of a previous facelift, this procedure offers an attractive, less invasive alternative.

Who Is a Candidate for a Mini Facelift?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate, but many men and women considering facial rejuvenation find this procedure to be the perfect fit. During your consultation at the Cosmetic Surgery Center in Virginia Beach, Dr. Lopes will evaluate:
- Signs of aging: Mild to moderate sagging or loss of elasticity in the lower face and neck
