Approximately how long does a mini-facelift last? I have seen doctors on some of the boards stating that they do not last long.
Thanks!

How long does mini-facelift last?

Hello!
Mini facelifts can last for years. Durability depends on a few issues:
First, if a "mini" type lift is inadequate for the person being treated, results will be poor and short-lived. Most mini facelift "failures" are due to poor patient selection.
Second, there is no clear definition of when a "mini" lift transitions into a "full" lift. Some doctors' "mini" lifts are more complete or involve than other doctors' "full" lifts. As a general rule, the more thorough the lift, the longer it lasts.
Finally, as with any "art project", the durability of the finished product depends on the quality of the "raw matierals." That is, people with excellent, young, elastic skin will have more durable results than those with thin, loose, skin.
Sorry for the long answer, but it is a deceptively complicated question! For good candidates, I'd say durability should be in the 5-7 years range.
Please let us know, by phone or email or the contact form to the right, if you'd like a consultation.
Best,
Mike Nayak
