Mini facelift

Ideal when the sagging in neck region

Summary:  A mini face lift may be a better option to get a youthful look when most of the sagging is in the neck region and the upper face is still young.  This 2-hour procedure is cheaper and you will recover in just one week.

As we get older, getting a turkey neck (excess skin in the neck region due to weight fluctuations, aging, and heredity) is natural, even for perfectly healthy people. Obviously, a full face lift will do wonders for the whole face, but if your face has aged in a way that the neck has aged faster than the upper face, plastic surgeon Dr. Randall Weil recommends a mini face lift. This procedure is simpler, less expensive, and recovery time is shorter. According to Dr. Weil, it reduces sagging skin and weak muscles as well as eliminates excess fat in the neck and under the jaw line. The final result is a more flattering, smoother jaw line with a restored youthful neck angle. The good news is that your friends and family members that have not seen you in a while may not even recognize that you went under the knife. Usually, people who undergo the neck lift procedure are often thought to have "lost weight" or "toned up" rather than having had cosmetic surgery. This outpatient cosmetic procedure usually takes 2 hours. The down time for Dr. Weil's "Mini" Neck Lift is relatively short and most people will return to their normal activities, including work, in 7-10 days.
