Recovery Guide

What to expect during Face & Neck Mini-Lift Procedure recovery

A Face & Neck Mini-Lift targets early to moderate aging of the lower face, jawline, and upper neck using shorter (“short-scar”/mini) incisions usually placed around the ear and along the hairline. Underlying tissues (SMAS/platysma) are tightened or plicated, limited excess skin is removed, and—when indicated—neck banding and fat under the chin are addressed. The goal is a crisper jawline and smoother neck with less downtime than a full facelift.

Estimated cost
$9,000 – $15,000
