Mini Facelift Conveniently located to serve Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, and Redmond

The Mini Facelift is a popular facial rejuvenation procedure, the ideal approach for those seeking a subtle lift with minimal downtime. This surgical approach targets the early signs of aging in the mid-face region, delivering a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Why choose us?

Liebertz Plastic Surgery is not just another clinic; it’s a commitment to excellence. With Dr. Liebertz at the helm, patients benefit from top-tier expertise and a genuine understanding of aesthetic balance. Our practice champions individualized care, ensuring that each patient’s goals are met with precision and a personal touch. We don’t just perform procedures; we sculpt confidence.

What is a Mini Facelift?

Unlike a traditional facelift, which addresses more significant facial aging, the Mini Facelift focuses mainly on the mid-face, particularly the cheeks and the area around the nose, mouth, and jawline. It’s designed for those who notice mild to moderate sagging or lack of definition but are not quite ready for or don’t need a full facelift. The procedure tightens the underlying structures and removes excess skin, and when under the care of Dr. Liebertz, offers exceptionally natural-looking results.

Who is a candidate for a Mini Facelift?

Ideal candidates for the Mini Facelift are individuals who:

Notice early signs of aging in the mid-face.
Have good skin elasticity.
Are in overall good health.
Seek a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift.

The procedure

The Mini Facelift typically involves smaller incisions, usually made along the hairline and behind the ears. Dr. Liebertz will carefully tighten the underlying facial structures and remove excess skin. Due to the limited scope, this surgery usually takes less time than other facelift procedures.

What is the recovery time?

The Mini Facelift boasts a fast recovery time. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a week. However, as with any surgery, it’s essential to follow post-operative instructions and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks.

About Dr. Liebertz

Dr. Liebertz’s journey in medicine took him from the renowned Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California to an intensive residency in Otolaryngology. He was then handpicked for an exclusive fellowship at Emory University, where he refined his skills under the guidance of pioneers in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

His philosophy revolves around enhancing the inherent beauty of his patients, ensuring results that echo sophistication without an overtly “done” appearance. Ethical, compassionate, and unwavering in his commitment to high-quality care, Dr. Liebertz sets a gold standard in facial plastic surgery.

The importance of a drainless approach to facelift surgery

At Liebertz Plastic Surgery in Kirkland, WA, Dr. Liebertz is committed to your safety, comfort, and convenience after surgery, which is why he favors a drainless approach. The drainless technique not only prevents irritation and lengthy downtimes but also encourages the body’s natural lymphatic flow to effortlessly flush fluids out of the body. Compression garments are also more effective at reducing swelling without drains present.

Drains not only increase the risk of poor scarring, but they also need to be continuously emptied, which heightens the risk of a bacterial infection. Additionally, drains can interfere with mobility, as many patients report them being ripped out of the skin when standing up or shifting positions in bed. Dr. Liebertz insists on concierge care and a stress-free recovery process, which is why he is a champion of the drainless facelift.
