What Is a Mini Facelift?
This less extensive surgery focuses on the lower face, particularly the jawline and early jowls. It’s best for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging who want a subtle refresh without the downtime of a full procedure. Dr. Walker typically uses smaller incisions around the ears to lift and tighten the underlying tissue.
Because the approach is limited in scope, recovery is faster—usually around five to seven days—and many patients are back to normal activities within a week. Results are natural-looking and can last several years, especially with good skincare and lifestyle habits.
What Is a Full Facelift?
This more comprehensive procedure addresses deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and more pronounced jowls or neck laxity. It involves tightening muscles and removing excess skin across the lower two-thirds of the face and neck.
This option is often for people in their mid-50s or older or anyone wanting more dramatic and longer-lasting results. The recovery period is more extensive—typically two to three weeks—but the outcome can take 10 or more years off your appearance.

Choosing between a mini and full facelift is based on the severity of your facial aging, your desired outcome, and how much downtime you’re willing to take. The mini facelift might be your best bet if you want a light refresh. For more significant concerns, a full facelift offers comprehensive rejuvenation.
