Does a mini facelift treat your entire face?
Sun damage, the force of gravity, genetics, and exposure to societal norms (air pollution, alcohol, smoking, second-hand smoke, generic makeup) compound the effects of the aging process and result in a variety of unwanted physical changes to the face and neck. While these age-related changes may be visible on the upper face (forehead and eyes), a mini facelift only treats the lower face from the cheekbone down to the chin and the neckline. It is common to incorporate additional procedures to complement the results of your mini facelift. These treatments include a brow lift and eyelid rejuvenation, facial implant placement, neurotoxin and filler injection, nasal reshaping, and skin resurfacing treatments.
How soon will my face appear naturally refreshed after surgery?
While the recovery process is highly individualized, you should see results after only a few weeks. However, patience is required as total improvement may require several months. Many patients plan their surgery around an upcoming major life event that could involve scrutiny in the public eye. Allowing for at least three months of healing prior to partaking in your mini facelift in Austin is usually more than adequate.
What is the cost of a mini facelift in Austin?
The cost of a mini facelift is variable and depends on individual patient anatomy, complexity of the case, and whether or not other adjunctive aesthetic procedures will be performed simultaneously. Rather than focus on a specific number, you should concentrate on selecting a surgeon with significant experience and whom you trust to give you the results you desire. A detailed quote that includes all necessary fees will be provided during your private consultation with Dr. Givens.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PERFORM A MINI FACELIFT?
The time required to perform a mini facelift is based on surgeon experience, operative technique, and complexity of patient anatomy. Additional time may be required if your procedure is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation treatments. When it comes to your face, there is no reason to compromise on quality.
I have had a prior unsatisfactory outcome with a mini facelift and/or other facial plastic surgery procedures. Can you help?
Most of the time, an experienced surgeon can produce long-lasting results that both of you are pleased with—often for several decades. However, in surgery as in life, there are no guarantees. Dr. Givens is well-versed in the art of revision surgery. Depending on the nature and extent of the previous surgery, your options may be limited. Dr. Givens will provide a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan to set realistic expectations for your mini facelift in Austin. It is essential to understand that while surgery can restore a balanced, youthful appearance, it cannot stop the natural aging process over time.
