Mini Facelift Chester NJ
A mini facelift, sometimes called a “weekend lift” or “short scar facelift” is a great option for patients seeking improvement in the jowls, jawline, and neck. The mini facelift is designed to be a less invasive option for patients. A small incision under the chin and around the ear are used to tighten the lower face and neck. The procedure may be performed under sedation or even may be performed in the office. Patients can expect to see an improvement in sagging skin and wrinkling which can give a more youthful, rested, and confident look! If you are considering a mini facelift, be sure to consult with a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon who specializes specifically in face lifting procedures such as Dr. Matthew Urban.
