Mini Face Lift - Weekend Face Lift

Facial Extreme Makeover


As the years go by, aging of the face is inevitable.  The skin begins to loosen in the 
face and the  neck giving way to "crow's feet" at the corner of the eyes, jowling 
at the jawline,  deep folds or"marionette lines" at the corner of the mouth, and
vertical folds and a "double chin" beneath the chin.  Heredity, sun exposure, 
the pull of gravity, and personal habits such as smoking contribute to the aging 
of the face.  This changes are best treated with a face lift.

Face Lift Patient 1.  Total Facial Rejuvenation
Including Facelift, Endoscopic Forehead Lift, Endoscopic Midface Lift,
Lower Eyelid Lift and Chin Augmentation.  The upper, middle, and lower third of
the face are balanced and rejuvenated with the three separate lifts, lifting the brows,
cheeks, smile lines, jowls and hanging neck.  The lower eyelid lift balances 
this rejuvenation.

During your consultation Doctor Jacono  will examine the structure of your face, 
skin texture, and elasticity. Sometimes one's underlying facial skeleton may contribute 
to their skin sagging, for example a weak chin or small cheek bones, and correcting 
these problems with chin or cheek implants will greatly improve the results of facelift 
surgery.  He analyzes your skin type and how the upper and middle parts of your 
face as well as your eyes may contribute to your aging appearance.   Not infrequently
Doctor Jacono will perform a blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck) or endoscopic browlift and 
midface lift to accomplish a harmonious total facial rejuvenation, that results in a 
more youthful bue natural appearance of the face.  Often multiple cosmetic facial 
procedures are necessary to provide aesthetic balance as well as rejuvenation, but 
the results are transforming and wonderful.   

Doctor Jacono also  uses digital photography and computer imaging software 
to simulate how you will look after surgery.  Doctor Jacono has published in the 
medical literature regarding cutting edge procedures in facial rejuvenation 
(Click Here to See Dr. Jacono's Publications).


Facelift Patient 2.  Mini Face Lift or S Face Lift.  The mini face lift rejuvenates the 
lower third of the face including the jowls and neck.

Doctor Jacono begins the multiplanar face-lifting procedure with an incision in the area of
the temple hair (hidden in the hair), continues in front of the ear in a natural crease,
and then continues around the ear lobe, circling the ear before ending in the hair
behind the ear. The incision in front of the ear is placed in the natural skin creases so
that it is well camouflaged after you heal. For men the incision is aligned to
accommodate the natural beardline. In a multiplanar facelift the deep layer of muscle
underneath the skin is then dissected, advanced and tightened, and this help support
the skin after surgery. The excess skin is trimmed, and the incisions are closed
meticulously with fine sutures, thus minimizing the visibility of any incisions. Doctor
Jacono specializes in corrective face lifting surgery to revise a problematic prior
face lift.

Mini-facelifts are also performed which minimize the incision and the recovery time.
Mini face lifts accomplish many of the goals of a traditional full face lift, however with
more severe drooping neck and jowl skin a full face lift provides a better, longer
lasting result compared to a mini facelift. Many patients are good candidates for a
mini face lift, and the ideal candidate for the mini facelift is best determined by a doctor
who performs all types of face-lifting surgery such as Doctor Jacono.

The mini facelift is also referred to as S-lifts, or short incision facelifts due to the shape
and smaller size of the incision. This is similar to the Lifestyle Lift (TM). Dr. Jacono
can perform this procedure under local anesthesia while you are awake.
The incision is hidden behind the natural curves of te ear called the tragus, so that no
scars are visible. The muscle layer is tightened but not dissected and
this minimizes post-operative bruising and swelling. This procedure is ideal
for professionals and those with tight schedules, and recovery is usually a few days.

Doctor Jacono performs many face and neck lifts on men each year, and notes that the
number of men having facial plastic surgery has been increasingly over the past five years.
Male facial plastic surgery is different and the surgeries are customized yo their special needs.
The emphasis here is on natural results and hidden incision lines.

Prior to surgery all patients receive a complete physical examination and are started
on vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies to enhance healing after
surgery. Research has shown that surgical results are improved when these regimens
are part of your surgical treatment.
