While Mini facelift and Full facelift are similar, there are a few significant differences between these two procedures. Let’s find out everything you need to know about them to help you determine which is right for you and your unique aesthetic goals.
WHAT ARE THE KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MINI FACELIFT AND FULL FACELIFT?
A facelift is a rejuvenation procedure designed to reverse sagging skin and muscles on the face and neck.
When do you do a full? When do you do a mini?
The answers are the areas focused on and how much you need lifting.
A mini facelift lifts below and above the jawline, and it might affect the lower third of the face and the nasolabial fold.
If you need more lifting around the temple area, and mid-face and this tissue there is descending significantly, then you would need a full facelift. So a full facelift affects the bottom two-thirds of the face and neck.
Both Mini facelift and Full facelift do the same goals: they define the jawline, they define the neck-chin angle, and they re-elevate the cheek fat over the cheekbone.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO UNDERGO THESE PROCEDURES?
There’s no such thing as the “right” age; when you believe your appearance and self-esteem could be significantly improved by lifting and tightening the skin and subcutaneous muscle tissues, it’s time to consider a facelift procedure.
You should come in for an initial consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for either procedure. During the consultation, doctors will review your facial structure, desired aesthetic, medical history, and current health.
If your jawline, chin, and jowl area are experiencing significant sagging, but you have no concerns about the appearance of your upper face, a mini facelift is probably your right choice. If you are worried about the appearance of your upper cheeks, you will need a full facelift to achieve your aesthetic goals.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS OF THE MINI FACELIFT AND FULL FACELIFT LAST?
While a facelift (considered both mini facelift and full facelift) is one of the most durable anti-aging procedures. However, even when you reverse the signs of aging, you can never halt the aging process. For this reason, the results of both mini facelift and full facelift are not permanent.
The durability of the results depends on many factors. The younger you are when you undergo a facelift procedure, the longer the results will last. This is because younger individuals tend to have healthier skin.
In general, the full facelift is much more effective with more durability.
It encounters a larger surface area, almost twice as much so It makes sense that it’s going to be more durable over time.
A mini facelift would last 5 to 10 years.
A full facelift should last a good 10 years or more.
PROCEDURE
Both mini facelift and full facelift are done within a 5 steps procedure with strict supervision from world-class experts. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Checking the skin’s condition
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctors will inspect the facial skin of customers for signs of wrinkled and saggy skin… During this process, customers can ask questions about the procedure, then the doctors will provide needed information according to customers’ requests.
Step 2: General health examination
To undergo either a mini or full facelift, the client has to pass all the health requirements (healthy and currently not in treatment for any serious diseases).
Step 3: Meticulous marking
The doctors will mark the area that required surgery and then calculate the ratio of lifting needed to bring the most natural-looking result.
Since the focused areas of the mini facelift and full facelift are not the same, the marking lines will be a little different.
Step 4: Disinfection and Anesthetization
To prevent any risk of complications during the operation, the targeted area will be disinfected, then general anesthetization is used to ensure a safe process and patients will feel neither discomfort nor pain.
Step 5: Operation
The surgeons will make small incisions according to the marked lines. From those cuts, the surgery will be done carefully and precisely to ensure the client’s safety. In addition, there will be the assistance of advanced machines and technology to boost the success rate of the surgery.

Step 6: Post-surgery care
After the operation, the patients will be moved to a separate room to rest and let doctors monitor their conditions in case there’s anything happens.
When everything is stable, doctors will offer guidance on post-surgery diet and daily routine for a speedy recovery.
There will also be scheduled follow-up appointments so doctors can check on their patients continuously and take out the stitches when it’s time.
POTENTIAL RISKS OR SIDE EFFECTS
The most common side effects of both mini facelift and full facelift are pain, swelling, and bruising right after your surgery. These symptoms will subside after a few days.
