A Custom-Sized Rejuvenation
While the thought of cosmetic surgery may sound intimidating, the Mini Facelift offers just the right amount of rejuvenation with less downtime and less scarring. In the skilled hands of Dr. Ran Stark, an expert in facial plastic surgery, at StarkMD in Philadelphia, PA, Mini Facelift patients enjoy natural-looking, youthful results and a noticeable uptick in confidence.
Medically referred to as a mini rhytidectomy, this procedure precisely targets mild aging issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging in the lower face and neck. The mini facelift procedure is a less invasive alternative to traditional and deep plane facelifts, ideal for patients showing the first signs of aging such as jowls and nasolabial folds. Very subtle incisions are made in discrete areas in order to remove excess skin, tighten underlying tissues, and achieve a youthful, natural-looking appearance. This technique can address wrinkles, creases, and skin laxity in primarily the lower face and neck.
A mini facelift and a traditional, full facelift are different mainly in scope but also technique and recovery time. The mini facelift is a less invasive procedure targeting mild to moderate aging signs such as sagging and fine lines providing significant, yet subtle improvements. It involves smaller incisions, allowing for a quicker recovery with minimal downtime, and is usually performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. In contrast, a traditional facelift, also known as a full facelift, addresses more extensive signs of aging across the entire face, including the mid-face and neck. It involves larger incisions and more comprehensive skin and tissue repositioning, resulting in more dramatic and long-lasting results. However, the full facelift requires a longer recovery period due to its invasiveness and the use of general anesthesia, leading to likely more swelling and bruising.
See a revitalized, more youthful version of yourself along with a new level of confidence. A mini facelift delivers impressive results with less invasiveness and shorter recovery time compared to a full facelift, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a less extensive procedure with excellent outcomes and a more youthful appearance. Our Philadelphia mini facelift patients enjoy a variety of benefits including:
Ideal candidates for mini facelift should be in generally good health and free from chronic conditions that could affect healing. The typical age range for this procedure is around 40 to 60 years old but there is no strict age requirement as long as you are a good candidate. This treatment is particularly suitable for those who want to address issues related to facial aging, such as:
With a Philadelphia mini facelift, Dr. Stark takes the time to get to know each patient and learn about specific aesthetic goals in order to determine if a mini facelift is an ideal procedure. During a consultation, he will perform an examination of your face and skin and learn about your medical history. Then, we will craft a comprehensive treatment plan for your facelift procedure meant to address your unique concerns and provide detailed information on how to prepare for surgery and what to expect.
In many cases, local anesthesia and sedation are used for mini facelift surgery instead of general anesthesia, which allows for an easier recovery. Using a combination of artistry and technical precision, Dr. Stark will make delicate incisions in creases and near the hairline, reposition the skin and tissues, and then meticulously place sutures for an outstanding and discreet outcome. Typically this procedure only lasts about two to three hours.
Following a mini facelift Philadelphia patients are able to return to light daily activities but should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Patients may see some swelling or experience discomfort but this is usually managed well with regular icing and prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Initial results, including the smoothing of facial wrinkles, can be seen around one month with optimal outcomes visible at about six months to one year.
Whether we are performing straightforward medspa services or complex surgery, Dr. Ran Stark and the team at StarkMD are passionate about great patient care and outstanding aesthetic results, particularly in handling facial skin. Dr. Stark has also been honored with numerous Patient’s Choice and Top Doctor awards along with being featured in publications like Haute Magazine, Philadelphia Style, and other prominent media outlets.

While most patients experience some tenderness, tightness, or itching during recovery, pain levels are typically very low and easily manageable.
Mini facelifts are considered very safe when performed by a qualified professional, but there are some risks associated with mini facelift surgery, as with any surgical procedure, that could include bleeding, infection, or bruising.
Absolutely! This is an ideal procedure to blend with other surgical or non-surgical enhancements for a fully comprehensive result. For instance, a mini facelift can be combined with a neck lift to improve the appearance of the lower face and neck by tightening the skin, underlying muscles, and removing excess fat.
Most patients see mini facelift results for about five to ten years before signs of aging may begin to reappear.
The cost of a mini facelift will vary depending on the specific treatment plan and if there are any other procedures which will be included in your treatment.
