Feeling like the face in the mirror is looking older than you feel? It’s a common challenge. As we age, the vital collagen and elasticity in our skin begin to diminish. This natural process leads to those familiar signs of aging: deeper lines around the mouth (nasolabial folds), drooping at the corners, and the formation of jowls along the jawline.

The good news? You don’t have to accept it.

The 72-Hour Mini Facelift, developed by Dr. Alavi, offers a powerful solution to restore your youthful, vibrant appearance without the extensive downtime of traditional surgery. It’s the perfect way to refresh and revitalize your look while maintaining natural movement and expression.

 

What Makes Dr. Alavi’s Mini Facelift Unique?

 

Dr. Alavi brings over 25 years of specialized experience to this procedure, having performed over 2,000 facelifts in his career. His technique is the result of training with some of the world’s best surgeons, leading him to develop a minimally invasive mini facelift designed to lift and tighten the lower face with long-lasting, natural-looking results.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who are starting to see the early to moderate signs of aging, or for those who want a significant refresh but don’t yet require a full facelift.

 

The Procedure Explained

 

The Mini Facelift is performed with meticulous precision:

  1. Small Incision: Dr. Alavi uses a discreet, small incision placed near the ear, ensuring that scarring is minimal and well-hidden.
  2. Deep Muscle Lift: The key to natural results is addressing the underlying structure. Dr. Alavi lifts and secures the deeper muscle layer back to its original, more youthful position. This restores your exact natural facial contours, eliminating the look of drooping and jowling.
  3. Quick and Comfortable: The procedure typically takes less than two hours and is performed under anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort. Any minimal excess skin is gently removed, ensuring there is no pulling or “wind-swept” appearance. You look exactly like yourself—just younger!

 

The Powerful Benefits of the Mini Facelift

 

When you choose the 72-Hour Mini Facelift, you are choosing powerful results with exceptional convenience:

  • Quick Recovery: The “72-Hour” name says it all. While individual healing varies, many patients are ready to return to social activities and work within 3 to 7 days, significantly less than the recovery time for a full facelift.
  • Minimally Invasive: Less surgical intervention means less trauma to the tissue and a faster, smoother recovery process.
  • Very Natural Results: By focusing on lifting the underlying muscle structure rather than just tightening the skin, the results look soft, refreshed, and completely natural. You avoid the “overdone” or tight appearance.
  • Long-Lasting: The results are built to endure, often lasting an impressive 5 to 10 years, making this a truly valuable investment in your appearance.
  • Affordability: The Mini Facelift is a more cost-effective option compared to the comprehensive nature of a traditional full facelift.
