Reveal a smoother, refreshed appearance with a mini facelift at Rocky Mountain Surgical Arts. This procedure targets early signs of aging, such as mild jowls, sagging skin, and nasolabial folds, without the downtime associated with a full facelift. Ideal for men and women seeking subtle yet impactful rejuvenation, our mini facelift refines your natural contours with artistry.
Rejuvenate yourself with minimal downtime
A mini facelift is a less invasive surgical procedure that addresses early to moderate signs of aging in the lower face. It focuses on lifting sagging skin, tightening underlying tissues, and refining the jawline and cheeks. Unlike a traditional facelift, a mini facelift involves smaller incisions—typically placed around the ears—and offers a shorter recovery time. At Rocky Mountain Surgical Arts, this procedure is tailored to provide natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal disruption to your routine.
Here’s what makes a mini facelift an appealing option:
- Smoother, firmer skin in the lower face
- A more defined jawline and chin
- Reduced appearance of jowls and wrinkles
- Natural-looking rejuvenation without an overdone look
- Shorter surgical time and faster recovery
- Minimal scarring due to smaller incisions
- Long-lasting results that enhance facial harmony

The mini facelift surgical process
During your mini facelift surgery, Dr. Fathimani will begin by making small, discreet incisions—usually around your ears. Through these openings, he will gently lift and tighten the underlying facial tissues, remove excess skin, and recontour the lower face for a youthful appearance. The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. You’ll be able to return home the same day.
Mini facelift: recovery & downtime
After your mini facelift, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness, all of which are normal side effects. Dr. Fathimani will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to support healing. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines in about one to two weeks. While you’ll notice an immediate improvement, the final results will continue to refine as the swelling subsides over several weeks or months.
Mini facelift: results & longevity
You’ll begin to notice the rejuvenating effects of your mini facelift within a few days as swelling decreases, with the full results becoming visible over the next few weeks. Your lower face will appear firmer, more defined, and naturally refreshed. The results typically last five to seven years, depending on your lifestyle and skincare habits. Dr. Fathimani’s advanced technique ensures long-lasting enhancement without compromising natural facial movement.
