What Is a Mini Facelift?
As we age, skin laxity and wrinkles naturally increase, and while over-the-counter products and noninvasive treatments may suffice in our 30s, they often fall short as time goes on. For those looking for a subtle enhancement without committing to a full facelift, a mini facelift at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa provides the perfect balance of rejuvenation. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch and his team in Tuscaloosa, AL specialize in performing mini facelifts using less invasive techniques, allowing for a quicker return to your daily routine. Each approach is tailored to the patient, with their thoughts and needs in mind. We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bunch to explore your options.
How Is a Mini Facelift Performed?
Your mini facelift procedure will begin with either general anesthesia or IV sedation. Once you are comfortably sedated, we'll apply lidocaine around the ears to provide a quick and lasting numbing effect. Once the area is fully numb, we will lift not just the skin but also the underlying muscle layer, known as the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), and fat. By elevating and suturing the skin, muscles, and tissues, we ensure long-lasting results. This approach is essential, as facelifts that focus only on the skin tend to be less durable due to the skin's natural elasticity. The entire procedure typically takes about two hours.
What Are the Benefits of a Mini Facelift?
At Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa, mini facelifts provide a practical and minimally invasive option for those seeking natural enhancement. The benefits of this procedure include:
- A shorter recovery period compared to a full facelift
- Dramatic yet natural-looking results
- Minimal scarring
- The option to avoid general anesthesia
- A more cost-effective alternative to more invasive surgeries
Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa Reviews
This surgeon is amazing! Very skilled in what he does, very knowledgeable, and his staff is very helpful and very very professional. He was able to get my procedure covered by my medical insurance, which cut his payment down to very little! But you would think I paid $1 million based on the treatment, and the courtesy and concern that all have demonstrated during my procedure and recovery. I traveled from out of state to have this procedure and honestly, I don’t think I would’ve found a greater experience than I found at Plastic Surgery Of Tuscaloosa and Doctor Bunch! He definitely cares about what you care about!!!
Dr. Bunch has proven his self noteworthy with me. He has the ability to transform lives as I know it! I suffer from a metabolic syndrome and even with diet and exercise I would have not been able to alleviate the excessive fat and skin from my body. I lost 65 pounds and due to my apron developing a rash and no relief of cream, it was deemed medically necessary to have the excess skin and fat removed from my abdomen. Dr. Bunch made me feel comfortable and like family. He ensured he would take care of me and he did. I’m truly thankful for his gift of surgery on my body because he truly transformed and addressed the health issues I was dealing with. I hope this encourages anyone who is searching for relief to try him. You have found the right answer you have been looking for!
Dr. Bunch listens to your concerns and is nice. I’ve experienced speaking with another plastic surgeon and he was rude and made me feel worse about myself, but Dr. Bunch is very professional but also helps you realize what your concerns are and makes me feel better about myself and the results I can achieve. I would definitely refer him as your Plastic Surgeon.
