Turn Back Time with a Youthful Transformation with a Facelift in Minneapolis

As the years pass, sagging skin, deep folds, and a loss of facial definition can make you feel less confident, especially if your reflection doesn’t match how you feel inside. A facelift offers a powerful solution to restore your youthful appearance and confidence. Dr. Mitchell Hagen, trained by world-renowned experts, specializes in advanced facelift techniques, including the deep plane facelift, to deliver long-lasting results that appear natural. As the premier facial plastic surgeon in Minneapolis, Dr. Hagen tailors each procedure to the patient’s unique features and goals, ensuring a transformative yet natural-looking rejuvenation.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of muscle tone. By tightening underlying tissues, repositioning facial fat, and removing excess skin, a facelift restores youthful contours while maintaining a natural appearance. The procedure can be customized to address specific concerns, offering a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.

Types of Facelifts

Facelifts are no longer a one-size-fits-all procedure. Tailored options allow for a more personalized approach, addressing each patient’s unique goals and areas of concern. Here are the main types of facelifts Dr. Hagen specializes in:

Deep Plane Facelift: This approach repositions the deeper facial tissues and muscles, providing a natural, long-lasting lift while addressing sagging in the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Mini Facelift: This less invasive option focuses on the lower face and jawline, perfect for patients with early signs of aging who desire subtle results with a shorter recovery time.
Ponytail Facelift: This option targets the midface and brow with small incisions to achieve a refreshed look, mimicking the lifting effect of a high ponytail.
Revision Facelift: This method is designed to improve or correct results from a previous facelift, addressing concerns like asymmetry, unresolved sagging, or unnatural results.

An outstanding experience and result. From the very first meeting, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Hagen and his recommendations. Of course, after leaving this consultation, I did have additional questions; he was always so responsive and patient and helped me feel comfortable with everything. Post-op, Dr. Hagen and his office touched base with me several times to make sure I was “okay.” I am thrilled with my results. More importantly, it is not obvi...continue reading
