The Different Types of Facelifts: Which One Is Right for You?

When it comes to rediscovering a youthful appearance, few procedures are as transformative as a facelift. But did you know there’s more than one type of facelift? Your surgeon may recommend a facelift technique based on your unique concerns, age, and goals. Here’s what you should know about the different types of facelifts, so you have an idea of which one may be right for you.

Traditional Facelift

A traditional facelift is ideal for those with moderate to advanced signs of aging. This technique addresses sagging skin, deep folds around the mouth, and laxity along the jawline and neck. By repositioning underlying tissues and tightening excess skin, a traditional facelift delivers dramatic, long-lasting results.

Mini Facelift

Sometimes called a “weekend facelift,” the mini facelift is ideal for individuals in the early stages of aging who seek subtle yet noticeable improvements. It targets the lower face, especially the jawline and jowls, using shorter incisions and a quicker recovery time compared to the full procedure.

Mid-Facelift

As the name suggests, this technique focuses on the midsection of the face, particularly the cheeks and under-eye area. A mid-facelift restores youthful volume and reduces sagging in the central face, making it a good choice for patients with hollow or drooping cheeks but less concern about the jawline or neck.

Neck Lift with Facelift

Aging often first appears in the neck, characterized by sagging skin and banding. A facelift can be done with a neck lift to address both areas for smoother, more balanced results. Patients often choose this combination for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
