How Much Does a Mini Lift Cost

Have you noticed loose skin creeping in over the last few weeks, months, years and slowly but surely, they are becoming more apparent? You may have considered having some surgery but you are unsure about how much a Mini Lift Costs. Before receiving any kind of surgery you want to make sure you know exactly what is involved and even more importantly who will be carrying out your procedure.

What is Involved in a Mini Lift Procedure

A mini lift refers to lifting the tissues of the cheek and jaw line, individuals with stand-alone cheek laxity and little to no neck laxity are candidates for a mini lift. A mini lift is not an option for individuals with neck laxity, as they will end up disappointed due to the simple fact that the neck is not addressed by the mini lift procedure. The difference between the two procedures is simply the extent of the incision but no difference in the extent of the muscle tightening. The mini lift procedure requires an incision that is placed where the ear interfaces with the plane of the face and extends into the temple a few centimeters and behind into the post-auricular crease. The lift is created with tension on the muscle and not with tension on the skin. When undergoing surgery for the mini lift there is no way to have scar less surgery but the scars will be hidden as well as possible between natural crease lines in your skin.

Who Carries Out the Surgery

Choosing the surgeon to carry out your treatment is a huge decision. With a mini lift being a surgical treatment, you want to be sure that you are in the safe hands of someone with plenty of knowledge and experience in their field. Many procedures can end up being botched when research on your surgeon is not done properly and you receive surgery from a lesser experienced or back street surgeon. When having a mini lift, you want to be sure to have regular consultations before the surgery is carried out, you want to have a real expectation of what you are expecting from your results and you also want to build a trusting bond with your surgeon. If it potentially costs more for your procedure to be carried out by a highly trained, fully qualified and experienced surgeon then it would be considered money well spent when you can guarantee the quality standard of the treatment you receive. When having consultations your surgeon will provide you with imaging and give a clear picture of what changes will be taking place. By doing this you are left in o doubt of what is going to happen and if you are in any doubt about your new look then this gives you the opportunity to raise any concerns. Receiving surgical treatment of any kind is a big deal and once you start its very hard to go back so you want to be making that all important decision straight away.
