Mini Facelift/ Mini Lift

It is Dr. Brunner’s goal to achieve a natural-looking outcome that does not give you an appearance of having been “operated on.” Her advanced techniques make it possible to lift and rejuvenate without creating overly tight skin. Additionally, one of the many benefits of a mini facelift is the shorter incisions, which typically result in smaller, less noticeable scars. The incisions are placed within the natural folds of the ear, where they are almost completely inconspicuous. This also allows for a shorter recovery compared with a full facelift. If you would like to consider additional scar reduction options, we offer state-of-the-art laser skin resurfacingtreatment that can enhance healing.

We personalize every treatment plan based on your individual needs, goals, and desired outcome. Factors like complexity, technique, and number of procedures play a role in the cost of a mini facelift, so we will review the details of your plan, including the expected cost, during your initial consultation.

Generally speaking, the surgeon’s fee for a mini facelift can range from $5,000 to over $7,000. It’s important to note that the total cost will include the surgeon’s fee, the hospital facility fee, and the anesthesiology fee, as well as other incidentals. Many practices, when providing a quote, offer only the surgeon’s fee. To compare like with like, we recommend asking what is included in each estimate you receive.

We work with reputable medical lending agencies that offer great plastic surgery financing rates and terms to qualified applicants. We can discuss this as an option during your initial consultation if it sounds like something you would be interested in.

Choosing a facial plastic surgeon is like starting a relationship: You want someone trustworthy, reliable, attentive, and comfortable to be around. In addition, a good facial plastic surgeon will have the training, experience, and expertise to provide the discussed outcome. We recommend selecting someone who is board certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, like Dr. Brunner who has also completed extensive training in mini facelift surgery. You should ask any potential surgeon how often they perform the procedure, and review their mini facelift before-and-after photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. For facial plastic surgery, we strongly recommend choosing a facial plastic surgeon over a more general plastic surgeon. Surgeons in this specialty field focus their education and training on the structures of the face and neck.
