What Is a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift is a scaled-down version of the traditional facelift, designed to address aging concerns primarily in the lower face—such as nasolabial folds, early jowls, or slack skin around the jawline. By using shorter incisions and focusing on the lower facial muscles and tissues, the procedure delivers a more youthful silhouette without the broader scope of a full facelift. Many patients appreciate that it leaves smaller scars and entails a smoother recovery, which is particularly beneficial for those who want visible improvements but don't require extensive reshaping.

During your consultation at pēkomd®, our board-certified providers will assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and desired outcomes. If you only need moderate lifting or have relatively good skin elasticity, a mini facelift in Toledo could be an ideal fit. Whether you want subtle or more pronounced refinement, we'll advise you on the best course of action—ranging from a mini facelift alone to potential supplementary treatments for optimized results.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure.

What to Expect During Your Mini Facelift Procedure at pēkomd

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation, where a board-certified surgeon in Toledo will discuss your medical history, examine your facial structure, and identify whether a mini facelift truly aligns with your goals. If deemed appropriate, we'll develop a specific plan detailing incision placement, the anesthesia type (often local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia), and any potential add-ons—like a neck lift or dermal fillers—that might bolster your desired outcome.

On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where our supportive staff ensures you feel prepared and at ease. After administering anesthesia, we'll create subtle incisions around the ears or within the hairline to lift and tighten underlying muscles. Excess skin may be trimmed to smooth away sagging.

Because this approach uses smaller incisions than a full facelift, swelling and bruising are generally less pronounced. Once the procedure is complete, you'll briefly rest in recovery before returning home with personalized aftercare instructions, allowing your renewed facial contours to settle in as you heal.

Recovering After Your Mini Facelift Surgery

Recovering from a mini facelift in Toledo typically involves less downtime compared to more comprehensive procedures. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness in the initial days. Pain can usually be managed through over-the-counter medications, and cold compresses can help soothe the area. Most individuals can resume lighter daily routines within a week, while high-impact activities or strenuous exercise might require a two- to four-week break.

As the swelling subsides, you'll begin noticing the subtler, firmer contours around your cheeks and jawline. Proper aftercare—such as keeping your head elevated while resting and avoiding direct sun exposure—supports smoother healing. By the end of your recovery, you should see a refreshed lower face that integrates seamlessly with the rest of your facial features.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Mini Facelift in Toledo?

A mini facelift may suit you if you're encountering mild to moderate skin laxity around the lower face, particularly if you feel a full facelift could be more extensive than you need. Ideal candidates often have relatively good skin elasticity, are in stable overall health, and maintain realistic expectations about the procedure's scope. It's also a great option for those who've tried non-surgical anti-aging treatments but now want longer-lasting improvements without the downtime of a full facelift.

During your consultation at pēkomd® in Toledo, we'll examine your current aging concerns, medical record, and future lifestyle goals. Should we determine a different path—like injectable therapies, a brow lift, or a standard facelift—more suitable, we'll communicate this transparently. Our mission is to help you select a strategy that genuinely addresses your concerns and yields a natural-looking outcome.

Mini Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to experience the subtle, but powerful rejuvenation of a mini facelift in Toledo? Contact pēkomd® now to schedule your personalized consultation and start your journey toward a firmer, more youthful lower face.

How long do mini facelift results typically last?

While each person's skin and aging pattern differ, many enjoy the effects for five to seven years or more. Maintaining healthy habits—like sun protection—can also extend the benefits.

Will I need another procedure later if signs of aging persist?

Possibly. As the aging process continues, you may eventually consider a second mini facelift or additional treatments like fillers or a neck lift for further refinement.

How soon can I resume normal activities?

Most patients feel capable of returning to work or light errands within a week, but strenuous tasks or exercise should be avoided until about two to four weeks post-surgery.

Are scars noticeable after a mini facelift?

Incisions are smaller and strategically placed around the ears, often hidden by hair or natural creases. Over time, scars generally fade significantly.

Can a mini facelift be combined with eyelid surgery or injectables?

Yes. Many patients pair a mini facelift with other treatments (like eyelid surgery or dermal fillers) for comprehensive rejuvenation in a single timeline, subject to safety considerations.
