La Jolla / San Diego Mini Facelift Specialist – Dr. Chasan

A "Mini Lift" is a term that describes a modified face lift, or mini facelift. Dr. Chasan has developed a minimally invasive facelift technique that he terms "The Chasan Petit Lift". This procedure is appropriate for La Jolla / San Diego facelift patients who experience jowls and early neck aging. These aesthetic problems can occur in patients in their mid-forties and fifties. The mini facelift requires much less dissection and downtime than a traditional facelift.

Mini Facelift in La Jolla / San Diego

Just like a traditional facelift, this procedure requires a considerable amount of artistry to ensure that the result is long lasting and appears natural. Even though the recovery is faster and the incisions are shorter than those of a standard facelift, the principles remain the same. The tension is put on the deeper SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) and not on the skin. An artist's approach to the face is paramount.

As an experienced San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Chasan typically performs mini facelift under local anesthesia. The total operative time is less than two hours. Generally, San Diego / La Jolla mini facelift patients can be back at work within 4-5 days. Although a Chasan Petit Lift is a surgical procedure, the incisions are well hidden and become quite inconspicuous. A Petit Lift can be performed alone; however, it is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as lip lift or lip augmentation in San Diego.
