    A short scar facelift, or mini facelift, is designed to rejuvenate specific areas of the face that show early signs of ageing. This procedure focuses primarily on the mid and lower thirds of the face, effectively addressing sagging skin along the jawline, reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds, and lifting the sagging SMAS. Additionally combining a mini facelift with facial fat transfer can correct early volume depletion in the cheek areas.

    This type of facelift is ideal for younger patients, typically in their late 30s to 40s, who have mild to moderate skin laxity. It is less suitable for those with more advanced ageing signs, making it a great option for individuals seeking a subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without the need for a more invasive full facelift.
