Soft Beautification®

The mini face lift is an excellent compliment to Dr. Byrd's other Soft Beautification procedures to provide the best possible cosmetic improvements with minimally invasive surgery.  Dr. Byrd's techniques provide an overall lift to the lower region of the face and upper neck, offering significant age-diminishing effects with minimal downtime and lasting results.

Dr. Byrd's mini face lift is designed for both women and men in the 40 years and up range who want to look as young as they feel. As we age, we lose elasticity in our skin and develop sagging and looseness of the skin along the jaw line and beneath the chin.

The mini lift permanently suspends the underlying structures of the lower face offering a more youthful appearance for years to come. Although the procedure can produce significant aesthetic improvement for most people, it is important to remember that after any facial procedure, the normal aging process resumes. Lifestyle choices, bone structure, skin type, sun exposure and heredity all play a part in determining how long the desired result will last.

Quick Results

Generally, the results obtained with the mini face lift and other combination therapies are predictable and quite dramatic, sometimes erasing 5, 10 even 15 years from one’s appearance.  Here is an example from one of Dr. Byrd's recent patients:

Dr Byrd says:
This lady had concerns with laxity in the cheek, jowl and neck areas as well as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles. She had a facelift approximately 10 years ago. She elected to have the mini face lift procedure in
combination with full face Portrait resurfacing and Smartlipo of the jowl area. This short-scar facelift
(Bandaid or mini face lift) has minimal downtime with most patients returning to work in as little as 5 days.
