What is a "mini facelift" and who is it suitable for?

A mini facelift is a gentler version of the classic facelift. It is specifically aimed at correcting minor, age-related changes, particularly in the lower face. The focus is on tightening the cheeks and jawline by tightening and lifting the skin and underlying tissue through small incisions along the ears and hairline.

It is important that the skin still has a certain basic elasticity so that the procedure can deliver good results. If the signs of ageing are already very pronounced and the excess skin is too severe, a classic facelift is often more suitable.
