Minimal Incision Facelift

Short Scar Mid-Face Lift

The rising popularity of plastic surgery has attracted a growing population of younger patients seeking facial rejuvenation.  The early signs of volume loss with resulting flattened cheeks and early jowl formation can be seen by age forty.

To meet the needs presented by younger patients, Dr. O'Daniel has developed a modified deep plane mini-facelift combined with micro-fat grafting that incorporates the same unique sculpting features of his full facelift, but with minimal incision. This procedure restores the lost fullness of the cheeks, reduces the heaviness of the folds around the mouth, creates a clean jaw line, and tightens the muscles of the neck, creating a younger, natural look in a face that continues to age normally. In fact, this operation in no way compromises the patient's ability to undergo another restorative facial procedure in the future.

Dr. O'Daniel maintains the natural appearance of the ears and hairline by paying particular attention to the placement of the incisions and the quality of the scars. This procedure is done as an outpatient, with sedation, in our state-of-the art, office-based Ambulatory Surgery Center. Expected recovery and return to society is 7-10 days.
