A mini facelift in Newport Beach is a less-invasive modern version of the conventional facelift and requires less recovery time. Facelifts are well-known cosmetic procedures used to achieve a youthful facial appearance, but not every patient requires a full facelift to achieve their desired degree of rejuvenation.
A mini facelift is a skin-tightening procedure used to target sagging excess skin, mainly in the jaw and neck area. The core difference between a traditional facelift and a mini facelift is the size of the incision. A smaller incision is made and ends behind the ear without extending into the hairline, unlike with a conventional full facelift.
The Mini Facelift Procedure
At the start of a mini facelift in Beverly Hills, local anesthesia with sedation is administered to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure. Dr. Batniji will proceed with a small incision at the base of the hairline, extending until behind the ear.
He will then remove excess skin and fat and tighten loose muscles. The remaining tissues will be tightened for a more sculpted and defined look. Finally, the incisions will be closed with sutures.
Recovery and Healing After a Mini Facelift
A follow-up checkup is scheduled in one to two days after the mini facelift surgery to ensure that healing is progressing as expected. Patients can move around within a couple of days. Painkillers can be prescribed for tenderness or pain if they are present during recovery. Swelling and bruising will also be present for a time.
Avoiding strenuous physical activity is recommended for a period of two weeks. Work and routine activities can be resumed within one to two weeks.
Additional post-op care instructions include the following:
- Donโt smoke or drink alcohol.
- Avoid any kind of blood-thinning medication.
- Donโt participate in strenuous activities that could stress the surgical site.
- Stick to healthy meals.
By following post-op instructions, you can reap the long-term benefits a mini facelift has to offer. In fact, the results of a mini facelift can last upwards of 10 years. However, this is only possible by following the recovery instructions provided by Dr. Batniji. Proper healing is essential for the long-term success of your facial plastic surgery procedure.
The Benefits of a Mini Facelift
Because the mini facelift is less invasive, it is easier on the patientโs tissues than a full facelift. It does not require general anesthesia, only local anesthesia with sedation. It has a shorter surgery time and smaller incisions. Recovery after a mini facelift surgery is also quicker and easier, with little to no pain.

Who Is It For?
A consultation in Newport Beach with Dr. Batniji is the best way to determine which facial procedure is best suited to your specific requirement. There are certain cases where a mini facelift is the ideal option:
- Younger patients showing only the beginning signs of aging. For these patients, a mini facelift can prevent excessive sagging and loose muscles that would later need more extensive correction.
- A person with excess skin only on the jaw, chin, or neck area. These patients benefit more from a mini facelift than from its traditional counterpart.
- People worried about large post-surgical marks. These patients can opt for a mini facelift, which leaves a much smaller mark that is easier to camouflage.
