Mini Facelift

Conveniently located to serve St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, and Clearwater.

A mini facelift, also known as a mini rhytidectomy, is a surgical cosmetic procedure performed to correct moderate signs of aging in the lower half of the face. Board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Anthony II offers the mini facelift in St. Petersburg, Florida, as an alternative to the deep plane facelift for patients with milder symptoms.

Microneedling Treatments in St. Petersburg, FL

Microneedling, a minimally invasive skincare procedure involving small needles to create micro-channels in the skin, not only stimulates the natural healing response and enhances skincare product absorption but also stands out for its collagen-boosting benefits. Remarkably, one microneedling treatment is equivalent to the collagen production typically achieved over the course of a year. This makes microneedling an efficient and effective method for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenating the overall appearance. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, ensuring a cumulative and lasting impact on collagen synthesis.

The Benefits of a Mini Facelift

Unlike a deep plane facelift, which involves more extensive lifting and repositioning of the facial tissues, a mini facelift focuses on tightening the skin and underlying tissue through smaller incisions. The mini facelift offers several advantages:

  • RImproves sagging skin and jowls in the lower face
  • RSmooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and chin
  • RLess invasive with smaller incisions
  • RQuicker recovery time and minimal scarring
  • RProvides natural-looking, subtle rejuvenation
  • RShorter downtime, typically returning to normal activities within one to two weeks

Ideal Candidates for a Mini Facelift

The mini facelift is best suited for men and women in their 40s or 50s who are experiencing early signs of aging, such as mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles in the lower face. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a procedure that offers significant improvement without the need for extensive surgery. During your initial consultation, Dr. Anthony will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if a mini facelift is the right option for you.

Charles Anthony II, MD

Dr. Charles Anthony is a board certified Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery and aesthetic rejuvenation of the face. He has over 10 years of surgical experience and his expertise in minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques aids him in designing tailored treatment plans to meet his patients’ unique cosmetic goals.

The Mini Facelift Procedure

Performed in Anthony Aesthetics’ state of the art in-house surgery suite, the mini facelift begins with the administration of anesthesia to make sure you’re comfortable. Dr. Anthony then makes precise incisions around the ears, carefully lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues. By doing so, he can effectively reduce sagging and wrinkles, creating a smoother and more defined jawline. Any excess skin is trimmed away, and then the incisions are closed with sutures.

Recovery and Aftercare

One of the most significant advantages of a mini facelift is the easier recovery experience. Most patients report mild swelling and bruising for the first few days, but these usually subside rather quickly. Your sutures will likely be removed about a week after mini facelift surgery. Dr. Anthony advises patients to avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks to ensure optimal healing.
