WHAT SHOULD YOU DO BEFORE AND AFTER A MINI FACELIFT?
A mini or lower facelift is a variation of traditional facelift surgery. Essentially, it’s a facelift for the lower face only, which involves elevating and tightening tissues to improve the look of the neck and jawline areas. Some people call this a “mini chin lift” or simply a “mini lift.” A neck lift can also be performed in addition to this procedure or on its own. Dr. Kevin Cross is one of the few plastic surgeons in the United States who will perform isolated neck lifts, using his experience and advanced techniques to create more youthful contours below the chin for patients who would best benefit from this approach.
Patients who want the best lower facelift or neck lift results will often begin their research process by searching for “Before and After Mini Facelift,” “Mini Face and Neck Lift Cost,” or “Best Mini Facelift Age.” If you’re having a mini facelift in your 30s, a lower facelift at 40, or a similar procedure at any other age, here’s what you should know about what to expect before and after a mini facelift.
Dr. Cross will give you specific guidelines for what to do before and after a mini facelift if you plan to have this type of lower face plastic surgery or lower facelift surgery. You’ll need to avoid certain medications, herbs, and supplements—such as aspirin—before and after mini facelift surgery in order to reduce the risk of bruising and related side eNects. Take care to ensure you follow all instructions from the Cross Medical Group team closely. Limiting sun exposure, for example, is key, since ultraviolet radiation exposure can cause scars to darken as they heal.
One detail you should remember before and after a mini facelift is that you can expect some discomfort, bruising, and swelling right after surgery—but that all of this subsides within a few days. You will need to initially avoid high intensity workouts because they can make side effects worse.
