Experience the Many Benefits of the Mini Facelift

At Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Arizona, we understand that the desire for a youthful appearance doesn't always necessitate extensive surgical procedures. The mini facelift offers an ideal solution for individuals seeking significant enhancements with minimal downtime. Contact our office to schedule your consultation with one of our excellent surgeons, Dr. Ronald Caniglia, or Dr. Alex Caniglia.

What Is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift, often referred to as a "short-scar" facelift, is a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift. This procedure targets early signs of aging, such as mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging in the lower face, particularly around the jawline and cheeks. By focusing on these specific areas, a mini facelift provides a refreshed and natural look without extensive surgery.

Ideal candidates for a mini facelift are individuals in their 30s to 50s who exhibit early signs of aging but are not yet ready for a full facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Ron Caniglia or Dr. Alex Caniglia will assess your facial structure, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Benefits of a Mini Facelift

Reduced Downtime: Due to its minimally invasive nature, patients typically experience a shorter recovery period compared to traditional facelifts.
Minimal Scarring: The procedure involves smaller incisions, often placed inconspicuously around the ear, resulting in less noticeable scars.
Natural-Looking Results: By addressing specific areas of concern, a mini facelift enhances your appearance without the "overdone" look.
Long-Lasting Effects: While less invasive, the results of a mini facelift can be enduring, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare.

The Caniglia Approach

At Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery, our team is led by the esteemed father-son duo of Dr. Ron Caniglia and Dr. Alex Caniglia. Dr. Ron Caniglia, a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon, brings decades of experience and a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. His son, Dr. Alex Caniglia, complements this with advanced training and a fresh perspective on modern techniques. Together, they offer a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, ensuring patients receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

Am I a Candidate for a Mini Facelift?

If you are beginning to notice mild to moderate sagging in the lower face but are not ready for a full facelift, a mini facelift may be the ideal solution. You may be a good candidate if you:

Have mild to moderate skin laxity around the jawline and cheeks
Experience early jowling or loss of definition in the lower face
Want natural-looking results without major surgery
Prefer a shorter recovery period compared to a full facelift
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Are non-smoking or willing to quit before and after surgery

The Mini Facelift Procedure

The mini facelift is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, enhancing patient comfort. During the procedure, small incisions are made around the natural contours of the ear. Through these incisions, underlying tissues are gently lifted and tightened to restore youthful contours. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are meticulously closed to minimize scarring.

Post-procedure, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, which generally subside within a week. Most individuals can return to their daily activities within 7 to 10 days. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and is readily available to address any concerns during the recovery process.
