Noticing mild sagging or early signs of aging in your lower face and jawline? If you’re unhappy with early signs of aging but don’t yet have the dramatic sagging most people associate with a traditional facelift, you may be wondering whether a more conservative approach, a mini facelift, can help.

At the office of a renowned Scottsdale, AZ board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sean T. Lille, patients often achieve excellent results with a mini facelift. This refined technique is designed for subtle but meaningful rejuvenation, with a natural, refreshed look.

Here’s how to know if this procedure could work for your mild sagging concerns.

What a Mini Facelift Can Do

A mini facelift focuses on tightening and lifting the lower third of the face, particularly around the jawline, mouth, and jowls. During this procedure, Dr. Lille repositions underlying tissues and gently removes excess skin to smooth and refine facial contours. Many patients also choose neck liposuction to achieve a cohesive, beautiful look.

The goal is to refresh your appearance—not change it—so you still look like yourself, only more rested and youthful.

The incisions are smaller, and recovery is faster than with a traditional facelift, making it a great option for men and women who prefer a conservative enhancement that still delivers noticeable improvement.

Who Is a Good Candidate For a Mini Facelift?

The best candidates for a mini facelift are typically in their 40s or 50s with mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face. In addition, many patients who had a full facelift years ago could be good candidates for a mini facelift to help preserve their results.

If you have deeper folds, significant sagging, or excess skin extending into the neck, a deep plane facelift may be the better option for you.

Dr. Lille personally evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and desired outcome on a case-by-case basis before recommending the right procedure.

With over 25 years of experience and an extensive background in cosmetic and general surgery, Dr. Lille brings superior skill and an exemplary reputation to every procedure. He prioritizes patient safety and comfort, tailoring procedures to achieve optimal outcomes. Unlike many practices that rely on volume or delegate care, Dr. Lille personally performs all surgical and non-surgical treatments, ensuring continuity and artistry in every outcome.
