What is a Micro Facelift?

Personalised Skin Investment

How does Micro Facelift work?

A micro facelift or mini facelift procedure is a small, gentle and less invasive cosmetic surgery that tightens and lifts the sagging skin to the lower face, and especially around the jawline, cheeks. It’s great for early signs of ageing — providing a subtle refresh without going the whole hog with a surgical facelift.

The procedure can be done under local anaesthetic. Your surgeon will insert tiny incisions along your ear line, then will be able to lift the muscles underneath and remove any extra skin carefully. You get a more naturally firm, defined look — without the looking “done.” The recovery is generally fast, with most people up and about within a week of the procedure.

The Benefits of a Micro Facelift

  • Tightens early jowls and loose skin in the lower face
  • Plumps fine lines and fills in youthful contours
  • Leaves nearly invisible minimal scarring
  • Adds soft and natural definition to the face
  • Less downtime than a classic facelift
  • Enhance confidence while preserving your natural look

Best for

Lower Face Micro Lift
Addresses jowls and sagging in the jawline.

This procedure is designed to suspend the lower one-third of the face which usually become evident sooner than other areas of the face. This helps reduce the appearance of jowls, mild drooping and adds a firmer contour to the face without altering your natural expression at all.

Classification: Invasive.

Downtime: 5 – 7 days.

Best for: Mild jowls, early jowls and loss of definition in the lower face.

Midface Micro Lift
Recreates volume and support in the cheeks

The fat pads located in the cheeks start to lose their laxity, causing them to move downward which causes a fatigued,or hollowed look. By lifting the cheeks and improving lines below the lower eyelids and the corners of the mouth, the midface micro lift repositions tissues that have fallen to a more youthful position on the face. This replenishes the youthful fullness to the midface and provides better overall facial harmony, with strategically placed incisions that can be easily hidden.

Classification: Minimally Invasive procedure.

Downtime: 5 – 7 days.

Best for: Flattened cheeks, deep smile lines or midface volume loss.

Short Scar Micro Lift
A discreet option with faster healing

An S-Lift is one of the least invasive facelift methods possible and is great for those who are beginning to show the signs of ageing. It requires an S-shaped incision just in front of the ear, lifting the skin and some underlying tissue not as far as in the standard facelift. Because it does not involve as much moving of the muscles, recovery is faster and there is less scarring. It’s good for preventive — to keep the youthful appearance.

Classification: Minimally Invasive.

Downtime: 3 – 5 days.

Best for: Age 20-50 with mild skin laxity and preventative treatments.

The procedure
Subtle Jawline Lift
How does a micro facelift work?

The micro facelift subtly lifts and tightens the skin and underlying facial tissue—specifically in the lower face and along the jawline. Tiny hidden incisions are placed within the natural contours of the ears. This helps achieve a natural appearance without over-tightening or unnatural look.

Comfortable Local Procedure
Will it hurt?

The process takes place under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but completely numb in the area being treated. The sensation is typically pressure rather than pain. Any tenderness or tightness that follows is usually minimal and can be controlled with over the counter pain medication.

Quick Outpatient Refresh
How long does it take?

The micro facelift procedure itself generally takes about 60 to 90 minutes. It’s an outpatient procedure, so you can head home when it’s over no in-hospital stay necessary.

Early Age Solution
What age is ideal?

This procedure is a good fit for anyone from his or her late 30s through the early 60s who is just beginning to see skin that is sagging, mild jowls or loss of volume but is not yet a candidate for a full facelift.

Customizable Youth Boost
Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. For some patients, a mini facelift is combined with other treatments that result in modest improvements, like dermal fillers, eyelid surgery, or skin tightening procedures. You’ll work with your doctor to time these safely so they don’t disrupt healing.

Gentle Healing Tips
Can I wear tight clothing after?

For a day or two, steer clear of anything that puts pressure on the face or neck. Wear only loose, button or zippered tops during the healing period so they won’t rub against the area.

Post-Treatment Timeline
When can I have another treatment?

If you’re considering skin boosters, fillers or other aesthetic treatments, you’re probably able to resume these within 2 to 3 weeks. Adjustments or touch-ups, if there are any, are usually talked about after 6 months.

Radiant Results Maintenance
How to maintain results?

Shield your skin from the sun, follow your aftercare and keep to the same daily skincare routine. More gentle maintenance treatments, such as a radiofrequency facial or light fillers, can help extend your newly refreshed look.

Personalized Treatment Plan
Can I do other treatments at the same time?

Yes—but strategically. Your doctor may recommend combining it with minor facial sculpting or skin treatments, as long as they complement your facelift and don’t overwhelm your healing process. Every plan is tailored to your skin, your goals, and your timeline.

The essentials

  • Know Your Reasons and Expectations: Spend some thoughtful moments considering what has brought you to this decision. It can be saggy skin, expanded pores, a sharpened jawline, or just feeling like you again—whatever your reason, it counts. You can share them with your doctor and have them guide you toward what’s realistic, safe and consistent with your goals.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners and Smoking: Unless your clinic provider provides other instructions, you should discontinue using aspirin, ibuprofen or any medication that thins your blood approximately 14 days before the procedure. For smokers, the best bet is to either quit or cut down during the ramp-up, as smoking slow healing and increases the chances of complications.
  • Arrive Fresh and Bare-Faced: Arrive with clean skin on the day of the procedure. Wear something comfortable with an open neckline or easy zip-up front so you don’t have to pull anything over your head afterward.
  • Plan for Downtime : Though it’s a fast procedure with little recovery time, your body still requires time to heal. Block off several days to rest, and don’t attend social events, go to work meetings or engage in vigorous activity during the first week.
  • Consult Your Surgeon Thoroughly: Your consultation is more than just a hasty check-in. Be prepared to discuss your health history, your expectations and any concerns. If you have a specific look in mind, bring a photo reference to your consultation but defer to your doctor on what will complement your natural contours in the most flattering way.

  • Post-Treatment Swelling and Redness: It’s normal to feel a little swollen, tight or bruised around the lower face and ears for a few days. This usually settles quickly. You can help to alleviate this by applying cold compresses and sleeping with your head elevated.
  • Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Avoid touching the treated area. Sleep on your back with your head elevated, and stay away from anything that pulls on your face think tight hats, heavy sunglasses, or pulling clothing over your head.
  • Skip Skincare for Now: Avoid makeup and facial products around the incisions for at least 5-7 days following your procedure. Rinse with water, gently, if you need to; otherwise, keep it simple.
  • Resume Usual Activity: In the majority of cases, you can expect to go back to work and to light activity in a week, though you should refrain from exercising, or anything that makes you sweat, or strain your face for at least 10 to 14 days — until you get the all-clear from your doctor.
  • Attend Your Follow-Up: Your follow-up is key. Your doctor will look to see if you’re healing, possibly remove stitches and let you know when you can continue any of your other treatments or activities as usual.

  • Be Patient With Healing: You’ll notice a change soon, but the final results will come after a few weeks. Allow your face to settle. Swelling will resolve and tissues will continue to settle and your improved appearance will become more apparent with time.
  • Protect Your Skin: Sun protection is essential. Use SPF every day, don a hat when outside, and minimize sun exposure as much as possible — particularly in the earliest months. Your results may have a short life due to UV damage.
  • Stay Gentle with Facial Products: Even once you feel healed, avoid anything that might pull or stretch the skin unnecessarily. This includes vigorous facial massages, tight straps, or harsh skincare treatments.
  • Stick to What’s Advised: Don’t introduce any strong actives (retinols, acids) near or surrounding the treated area unless recommended by your provider, either. You should not vigorously blow your nose until directed by your doctor (who will inform you when it’s safe to resume your normal routine).
  • Don’t Skip Check-Ins: Even if all looks good, those post-op checkups help to make sure you’re healing as expected. Your provider might also recommend maintenance treatments such as skin boosters, mild skin tightening or even facial massage to help extend your results in a natural way.

Why Choose a Micro Facelift?
Natural Confidence Restored
Achieved a Refreshed & Confident You

A micro facelift is for people who still feel like themselves — but notice the mirror doesn’t reflect that anymore. It’s all about restoring definition where it’s getting a little softer early, and matching what you feel on the inside with how you look on the outside. While there is little downtime and few incisions, the idea isn’t to enhance the way you look, but rather to recapture how you would look naturally.

Target Issues
Confidence, Clarity, Ease
  • Early signs of facial ageing

    The skin sagging along the jawline and the softening of the cheeks can seem to have materialized over time and for many people, that doesn’t feel like enough to justify a full facelift. A micro facelift subtly elevates these concerns, adding structure, without appearing overdone.

  • Loss of facial definition

    As facial contours get lost, it may change the way you feel in everyday interaction. Micro facelifts raise the jawline and lift the cheek, making you look more alert and engaged.

  • Desire a moderate, natural change

    This is a process for those who wish to keep their features, not swap them. Just fresher, tighter, and more like you again.

Minimalist Identity Lift
Subtle, Natural You

You don’t have to undergo a big procedure to see a big change. For a lot of people, a micro facelift is that minimalist lift perfectly placed that lifts the tiredness away without lifting their identity. It’s a way to regain control — not by looking different, but by feeling more in sync with the version of yourself that’s still very much there.

Recovery timeline
1 – 2 Days

You may experience mild swelling, tightness, or bruising around the lower face and ears. A feeling of pressure is normal.

  • Maintain your head up, do not place your head down, and look at make small facial movements.
  • Rest, keep the area clean and dry and refrain from touching or irritating the incision sites.
6 – 7 Days

Swelling generally will start to recede, and any light bruising will begin to fade.

  • So you can go back in for a post-op check and they’ll be examining your progress and that there’s no infection, no irritation.
  • By this time, any discomfort should be minimal and manageable with basic pain relief.
1 – 2 Weeks

The swelling and tightness have been subsiding. Facial tissue begins to reposition itself naturally.

  • You’re now able to do minor to moderate activities again.
  • Stay away from putting pressure on your face, working it out too much or anything that pulls your skin.
1 Month

While the face looks more sculpted and refreshed, deeper healing takes place.

  • Most patients have returned to their normal routines, but they should still avoid high-impact exercise or facial treatments that may disrupt the healing process.
3 – 6 Months

Final results are visible. The tissues are now fully formed and have taken on the sharp character of the face.

  • Your surgeon will examine for any minor asymmetry and may come up with other options to discuss, if any are needed.
The benefits

  • Refined Jawline and Cheek Contours: If it is done carefully by a professional practitioner, a micro facelift can tighten the jawline and midface, providing a defined, younger look—while remaining totally natural looking.
  • Boost Your Confidence: Loose skin or early jowls can alter how one feels about oneself, particularly in photographs or face-to-fac encounters. With a micro facelift many patients feel more confident and comfortable with their appearance.
  • Minimal Scarring and Discreet Results: In most cases, scarring is minimal as the incisions are small and are usually hidden behind, or inside of the ears. The desired effect is a natural looking enhancement to the face.
  • Faster Healing and Return to Routine: Micro facelift recovery is generally rapid. It’s also a less invasive procedure, and most patients resume light, daily activities in a week with relatively little interruption to work or lifestyle.
  • Longer-Lasting Definition Compared to Non-Surgical Options: Unlike fillers that last several months, a micro facelift provides structural improvement that can last years particularly when paired with healthy living and proper skincare.

  • Natural-Looking Outcome: A micro facelift doesn’t aim for dramatic; it’s for subtle. The majority of our patients find that they look fresher and more sculpted with no obvious evidence of surgery.
  • Relief from Facial Sagging or Softness: If you’ve been bothered by early jowls or a loss of jawline definition, a micro facelift can reduce that heaviness. Many patients feel lighter and more comfortable in their facial appearance, especially during photos, calls, or everyday interactions.
  • Gain More Confidence: This isn’t necessarily about changing who you are — it is about being comfortable with your reflection. Patients frequently report that they feel more self-confident and able to participate in their daily life after the procedure.
  • Long-Lasting Improvement: A micro facelift can make lasting structural changes for the better that can last you several years. Patients can achieve long-term results without the need for touch-ups, thanks to great skincare and good habits.

  • Small Procedure, Big Impact: A micro facelift, is not a surgical intervention but a day procedure that can make a significant permanent difference to your appearance, without the hassles associated with a general anaesthetic, overnight stay and a lengthy recuperation.
  • Achieve a Confident You: Many patients report they feel more like themselves again — less awkward posing for photos, more sure of themselves in conversation, more at ease with their appearance in day-to-day life.
  • Tailored to Your Features: A micro facelift is tailored to your individual face – to subtly improve what’s already there, not transform you. The effect is subtle, elegant, and entirely you.

Am I suitable?
Is Micro Facelift good for me?

A micro facelift might be an option if you’ve begun to see some sagging skin, jowls or loosening of the lower face but don’t want the commitment of a full surgical facelift. For those looking for a discreet, natural enhancement and minimal downtime, it’s perfect.

The Risk
What are the usual and adverse side effects?

As with any cosmetic procedure there are risks with micro facelift, but these are uncommon and generally reversible when the procedure is performed by an experienced physician.

Usual Side Effects

  • Bruising: Light bruising in front of the ears or along the jawline is not unusual and is generally gone by 7-10 days.
  • Swelling: You may experience some swelling or tightness for several days or up to a week following the procedure.
  • Numbness: Sick sensation or tingling around the incision is common and usually will come back to normal.

Adverse Effects

Although rare, the following complications may occur:

  • Infection: Uncommon but could always potentially occur if large or if post-op care is not adhered to closely.
  • Scars: Incisions are usually in low-profile areas, though small scars are possible.
  • Asymmetry: In an infrequent instance, healing may take place at differing rates, thus causing an uneven appearance. A small, additional procedure may be necessary to create a more symmetrical look.

Selecting an experienced, board-certified surgeon dramatically reduces your risk of complications, ensuring you have a comfortable, smooth and safe recovery, as well as beautiful, satisfying results.
