A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin. This often includes two areas: on the face and in most cases, also the neck. This creates a smoother and more youthful appearance. Meanwhile, performing a mini facelift in Lima, Peru is a modified version of the traditional procedure but with a smaller incision and less cutting of underlying tissue.
A mini facelift involves the placement of incisions in front of the ears which extend from the hairline to the bottom of the earlobe. The surgeon will then gently pull the skin and tissues up and outward the ear. Excess skin and tissue are removed to tighten the appearance of the skin.
Mini facelift treatments can be performed in the O.R, or in the consultory (an equipped room in the doctor’s office).
How long do mini facelifts last?
If mini facelift patients maintain a healthy lifestyle after their procedure, they can typically expect their results to last anywhere from two to six years. On the other hand, full facelift results can last a decade or longer.
Is it worth having a mini facelift?
A mini facelift is able to lift the deeper facial structures, without requiring the surgeon to go too deep with the incisions. This can reduce swelling and bruising following the procedure compared to a regular facelift. Also, there is the advantage of less scarring thanks to a less invasive procedure than with a traditional facelift.
Does a mini facelift tighten the neck?
A mini facelift tightens the face and jowls but does not do as much for your neck as a standard facelift. It may be a good option for: younger patients with mild jowls or. as a touch-up for someone who has already had a standard facelift.
How do you prepare for a mini facelift?
Don’t smoke or drink alcohol for two weeks before your mini facelift and for two weeks afterward. Reduce stress as much as possible by incorporating some relaxation periods into your daily routine – listen to soothing music, do yoga, meditate, take naps – whatever helps you tone down the stress.

WHICH SURGEON TO CHOOSE?
Firstly, do your homework! Check out Peru’s medical college website (Colegio Medico del Peru) and see if the doctor really has a RNE (National Registry of Specialist) license. Many doctors only have a CMP license, but this is not enough for invasive, specialist procedures.
