What Is a Mini Facelift?

After Your Mini Facelift: Recovery & Results

A mini facelift has a shorter recovery period compared to traditional facelifts, with most patients resuming daily activities within a week. Swelling and minor bruising typically resolve in 7–10 days, and results begin to appear as these symptoms subside. Outcomes can last 5–10 years, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care. For prolonged results, you may benefit from routine non-invasive treatments like laser therapy or injectable maintenance.
