Should I choose the micro, mini, or full facelift, and what's the difference between them all?
Tagged: Facial Treatments

Every single one of us is at the mercy of the ageing process.
As we age our levels of the protein collagen, which keeps our skin looking young and firm, depletes, leading to sagging and wrinkles. This is particularly noticeable on the face, starting with the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, such as crows' feet around the eyes and laughter lines around the mouth. This is usually followed by forehead wrinkles and sunken cheeks as our face loses its youthful plumpness.
However it doesn’t have to be this way. A well-timed facelift can stop the clock on the ageing process, allowing you to enjoy a fresh and youthful complexion for longer. We offer several different face lift options here at the Cadogan Clinic. Here we will look at what is the best face lift to meet your needs.

We offer several different face lift options here at the Cadogan Clinic. Here we will look at what is the best face lift to meet your needs.
A micro facelift is a relatively new treatment and is by far the least invasive option of all the face lifts available here. It involves just one incision and suture and is often referred to as the ‘one stitch facelift’.
This particular face lift targets the middle portion of the face, from below the eyelids, around the cheek bones and down to the upper lip, as this is the area of the face which is particularly prone to the signs of ageing, for example, hollowed lower eyelids, deeper nasolabial folds and flat cheeks.
A micro facelift restores the cheekbone structure and volume, resulting in a natural, more youthful, appearance. A micro face lift is most effective for patients aged 35 and up who are experiencing the very first signs of ageing. It can make a patient look up to five years younger.
A micro face lift can take as little as 20 minutes to perform and there is very little downtime attached to this procedure, meaning you can return to your day-to-day routine within three or four days of surgery.

Get in TouchThe mini face lift is the next step up from a micro face lift and can set the clock back up to 10 years. This type of face lift is best suited for patients aged in their 40s and 50s.
Unlike the micro face lift, the mini face lift focuses on tightening sagging skin in the lower portion of the face, including the chin, jaw, jowls and upper neck. A mini facelift is less invasive than a full face lift and involves fewer incisions, which are discreetly hidden and usually very difficult to see with an untrained eye. Mini face lift surgery takes between one and one-and-a-half hours from start to finish and you should be able to return to work and your day-to-day activities a week after surgery. You should start to see the results of your surgery after six weeks.
Also known as a rhytidectomy, a full face lift is a more invasive and complicated surgery, but it is a great way to tackle all the problematic signs of ageing over the whole face. The procedure involves tightening both the covering skin and the underlying muscle, called the platysma, and removing surplus skin from around the ears. A full face lift is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually takes between one and three hours to complete. You should expect to take two weeks off work and it can take up to eight weeks to fully recover from a full face lift.
Words from our clients:
“I was treated with care and provided with thorough knowledge about the procedure I was undertaking. My surgeon was very methodical (a perfectionist) and I felt I received A class treatment."Courtney O'Sullivan
"Outstanding experience from the first appointment to being discharged. Very professional, friendly and a fantastic outcome."Gemma Stevenson
"There is nothing that I feel could be improved at Cadogan Clinic. I was treated and looked after very well the place was very clean. Perfect. Thank you."Emma Grant
"The treatment was for my daughter and the aesthetic practitioner couldn't have been more helpful and informative all through the course of treatment, it was a great treatment with a brilliant outcome. The whole experience was very professional and any worries we went in with were soon taken away after the team greeted us and treated us."Jessica Yates
"Reception staff very welcoming and efficient. Both nurses who I dealt with were fantastic, and the whole team (anaesthetist, surgeon etc) were friendly but professional, and really put my mind at ease. That I was able to stay later than I perhaps needed after my surgery to fit in with my husbands schedule was greatly appreciated."Emma Davies
The most natural-looking face lift depends on a number of factors, including your age and what you hope to achieve through surgery. If you are between 35 and 50 and only displaying the first signs of ageing, a micro face lift will be able to eradicate these signs before they become too noticeable. Any face lift scars are expertly hidden, so there will be no visible tell-tale signs of surgery. We have invited a selection of the country's very best consultants to join us at the Cadogan Clinic so that you can be sure that your face lift will be carried out by one of the top practitioners in the country. This means whichever face lift you choose will result in a natural, but rejuvenated, look.
Once you have had face lift surgery, it is important that you look after your skin in order to maintain the results for longer. The best way to do this is to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
Toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke damage skin cells and cause premature ageing. Smoking also causes deep wrinkles to form on the face, particularly around the lips and mouth. So if you are a smoker, this is yet another good reason to kick this habit.
It is well-documented that harmful UV rays can cause premature ageing, causing skin to sag, age spots to appear and wrinkles to develop. Always use sun cream with a high SPF to avoid sun-damaged skin.
We also recommended eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and investing in and sticking to a good skincare routine so you can enjoy the results of your face lift for many years to come.
There are also many non-surgical treatments that we offer here at the Cadogan Clinic which can help to maintain the results of your face lift. These include anti-ageing injectables, dermal fillers, and chemical skin peels.
In the immediate aftermath of your face lift surgery, it is vital that you follow all the after care instructions as issued by your surgeon. Failure to do so will delay healing and may impact on the final result.
It is important to remember that while a face lift can roll back the years and achieve a more youthful look, the ageing process will continue from this new starting point. A person's age when they undergo a facelift will also have an impact on how long a facelift lasts and those aged under 60 tend to see the longest results.

Treatments mentioned in this article
As we age, the skin on our face starts to lose its elasticity and begins to sag. Creases can become deeper and the jaw and neckline start to droop. Fat on the face, which makes it look plump and smooths out wrinkles, is absorbed as the years go by, so the face appears more gaunt. The rate at which this ageing process occurs varies from person to person and can be a source of frustration for those who want to look as young as they feel.
View TreatmentFocussed on removing excess skin around the face, jaw and neck areas, the mini-facelift is an ideal treatment for people wanting to achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing a full facelift procedure.
View TreatmentLook five years younger in 20 minutes with the Micro-Facelift Procedure. Ideal for patients wishing to reduce the visible signs of ageing.
View TreatmentThe visible signs of facial ageing, such as lines, wrinkles and loose skin, can now be reversed with the help of both non-surgical treatments or (for a more permanent outcome) a surgical facelift.
