The Art of Looking Effortlessly Refreshed

Mini Facelift with Dr. Michael Jazayeri

The aging process is inevitable, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for sagging skin, deep lines, or loss of facial contours. A mini facelift is a refined facial plastic surgery technique that offers natural-looking results with less downtime than a traditional facelift procedure. Dr. Michael Jazayeri, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Santa Ana, CA, specializes in mini facelift surgery to help patients achieve a more youthful appearance without the extensive recovery associated with a full facelift. If you're looking for a subtle, rejuvenated look with minimal scarring, Dr. Jazayeri provides expert care and personalized treatment to refresh your facial appearance with precision and artistry.

A Modern Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

What is Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a facial rejuvenation procedure designed to target excess facial skin, mild to moderate sagging skin, and early signs of aging. Unlike a traditional facelift, which involves more extensive lifting of the facial muscles and deeper layers of tissue, a mini facelift focuses on tightening the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and facial tissues for a naturally youthful appearance.

This surgical procedure is ideal for those experiencing nasolabial folds, mild jowling, or loss of jawline definition. The facelift technique involves small incisions along the hairline and near the ears to gently reposition facial skin and restore youthful contours. The result is a refreshed, youthful look without looking overdone or "pulled."

Subtle Lift, Stunning Results

Mini Facelift Benefits

A mini facelift offers a range of advantages for patients who want to rejuvenate their appearance with natural-looking results while avoiding the extensive recovery of a traditional facelift procedure.

When choosing a Mini Facelift Orange County patients that visit us often enjoy the following advantages:

Youthful Appearance – Smooths mild to moderate sagging and restores facial contours for a refreshed yet natural result.
Minimally Invasive Approach – Uses small, discreet incisions near the hairline and ears for barely noticeable scars.
Shorter Recovery Process – Most patients return to normal activities in one to two weeks, making it ideal for those with busy lifestyles.
Improvement in Facial Contours – Tightens facial tissues and supports the neck muscles for a firmer, more defined appearance.
Can be Combined with Other Procedures – Combine a mini facelift with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation that enhances results, addressing volume loss, wrinkles, or drooping eyelids.
Performed Under Local Anesthesia – Avoids the risks of general anesthesia while ensuring patient comfort.
Long-Lasting Results – Results can last up to 10 years, helping to slow down visible signs of aging.

The mini facelift procedure is a great option for patients looking to refresh their facial appearance with minimal downtime and natural-looking enhancement.

Is a Mini Facelift Right for You?

Mild sagging skin in the lower face and jawline

Nasolabial folds (deep creases from nose to mouth)
Early jowling and loose facial tissues

Your First Step

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation for a Mini Facelift in Santa Ana, Dr. Jazayeri will evaluate your facial appearance, skin type, and medical history to customize a treatment that aligns with your aesthetic goals. He may recommend additional facial rejuvenation options, such as:

Neck Lift – for a sharper jawline and defined neckline
Eyelid Surgery – to correct drooping eyelids and smooth wrinkles
Fat Transfer – to restore volume loss and enhance facial contours
Dermal Fillers – for additional volume and enhancement of youthful contours

Prior to surgery, you may need to avoid certain medications, smoking, and strenuous exercise to ensure a smooth healing process.

A Simple, Effective Approach

Your Mini Facelift Procedure

At our practice in Santa Ana mini facelift is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for a comfortable experience without the risks associated with general anesthesia. The surgical procedure usually takes between two to three hours.

During the procedure, Dr. Jazayeri makes small, discreet incisions along the hairline and around the ears. Through these incisions, he carefully lifts and repositions the facial skin and facial muscles, tightening underlying facial tissues to restore youthful contours. Any excess skin is removed to create a smoother, more refreshed look. Once the desired result is achieved, the incisions are meticulously closed using fine sutures to ensure minimal scarring and a natural-looking outcome.

Smooth Recovery for Long-Lasting Beauty

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most Mini Facelift patients can return to daily activities within one to two weeks, with swelling and bruising resolving over several weeks.

Tips for smooth recovery:

Keep your head elevated while sleeping.
Avoid strenuous exercise for at least three weeks.
Follow post-op instructions for scar prevention and incision care.
Protect your skin health with sunscreen to prevent sun exposure damage.

Results continue to improve over three to six months, revealing a naturally youthful appearance that can last up to 10 years with proper care.

Procedures Under Local Anesthesia
with Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri

Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri, a distinguished plastic surgeon in Santa Ana, California, strongly advocates for patient comfort and safety during all procedures. His comprehensive approach to patient care includes using local anesthesia for various surgical procedures.

These procedures include many facelifts, liposuctions, neck lifts, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), mini tummy tuck and, in certain cases, even breast and arm lift.
