A mini facelift is a less invasive surgical procedure than a full facelift, designed to target mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and neck. Also known as a limited-incision lower facelift, the mini facelift is designed for younger patients in their late 30s through early 50s to address aging changes in the lower face.
It’s an excellent option for individuals who:
Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sudeep Roy addresses early signs of aging with precision and artistry through mini facelift surgery in Los Gatos, California. If you have more pronounced signs of facial aging, he may recommend an extended deep plane facelift.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Roy and his team…Dr. Roy is a true artist – – not just a great surgeon. He knew exactly what needed to be done to make my outward appearance look the age my heart and mind think I am.

Dr. Roy’s personable bedside manner inspires the confidence and trust of our facial plastic surgery patients. A graduate of Stanford University, Dr. Roy completed a rigorous 5-year residency focused exclusively on facial plastic surgery and fellowship training with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).
Meet Dr. Sudeep RoyDuring your consultation, Dr. Roy will carefully assess your facial structure and skin quality to determine if a mini facelift is the right procedure for you. Often, patients who can benefit from a mini facelift are no longer getting the desired results from nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments.
A mini facelift at an earlier age may be less expensive than relying on BOTOX® or dermal fillers to minimize signs of aging. For those who’ve experienced diminishing effects from injectables, a mini facelift is a one-time investment with sustained results. A mini facelift is less invasive than a deep plane facelift, so it’s best for patients with less advanced aging of the lower face and neck.
A deep plane facelift is a more appropriate option if you want to:
Whichever procedure is right for you, Dr. Roy uses his expertise to ensure your results look natural, like a younger version of yourself.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience. Dr. Roy begins by making small, discreet incisions around the ears, minimizing visible scarring. The underlying tissues of the face are then carefully lifted and tightened to address sagging skin and restore a youthful contour.
Unlike a deep plane facelift, the mini facelift targets the lower face, including the jawline and neck, with a less invasive approach. The result is a refreshed, more youthful appearance with a quicker recovery time compared to more extensive facelift procedures.
Combining procedures can maximize results and address multiple concerns at once. Some of the most effective treatments to combine with a mini facelift include:
Even though a mini facelift involves shorter incisions, it is still a surgical procedure that requires rest to heal properly. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 7 to 10 days of their procedure. You can resume light exercise after about 2 weeks and more strenuous workouts after 3 weeks. It can take up to 3 months to see the full, final results of your mini facelift.
The cost of a mini facelift depends on the extent of the procedure, the training and experience of the plastic surgeon, and several other factors.
