Hamilton, M.D., F.A.C.S., offers mini facelifts for men and women who live in and around Indianapolis, Indiana.
What is a Mini Facelift?
Mini facelift is a term for a more limited incision facelift. Other varieties of this that often overlap include neck lift, mini lift, S-lift, submentoplasty, cheek tuck-up facelift, as well as other trademarked marketing terms. Mini facelifts offer targeted treatment to areas of concern, such as extra facial skin or neck relaxation.
How Much Does a Mini Facelift Cost in Indianapolis, Indiana?

Am I a Candidate For a Mini Facelift?
These procedures are ideal for younger patients who overall are doing well but have one small problem area. These patients are typically too early for a full facelift. In addition, it is an ideal procedure for those who have had a previous facelift but would like a little tightening.
Benefits of a Mini Facelift
The benefits of mini facelifts are more limited incisions and less down-time. Incisions can often be better camouflaged or hidden. Patients can expect less bruising and swelling. Recovery time is less than with a full facelift procedure as well.
The Mini Facelift Procedure
The procedure is done in an outpatient setting. Patients can choose to have just “twilight anesthesia” or even local if they desire. Patients are able to return home that evening and often can be seen publicly within the first week. Absorbable sutures are used and these are removed or trimmed at the one week point. Patients should feel comfortable returning to all social activities shortly thereafter.
Mini Facelift Procedure Results
The duration of mini facelift results is variable depending on each patient’s anatomy, genetics and how they maintain themselves afterward. That said, most patients can expect results to last five to 10 years or more. However, patients will always appreciate some benefits for life.
