Introduction:
Facial Surgery for Early Aging
Wrinkles and sagging of the cheeks or jowls can dramatically age a person’s facial appearance. These common signs of aging can occur as early as your thirties and are not always so responsive to non-surgical treatments. Women and men struggling with early facial aging often come to Dr. Zuliani wondering what their best options are for restoring their youthful appearance – they are not yet ready to undergo a full facelift, and their busy lifestyle will not allow for a lengthy recovery period. For many of these patients, Dr. Zuliani recommends a mini facelift.
1
Less scarring than a traditional facelift
2
Less post-surgical swelling, bruising, and tenderness
3
Very natural-looking results
Unlike a traditional facelift, the mini facelift features a less extensive approach. This means a much shorter scar and quicker recovery. While the results won’t be quite as dramatic as a full facelift, a mini facelift is a great option for younger women and men experiencing early signs of aging such as wrinkles or skin laxity around their cheeks or jawline.
Dr. Zuliani’s focus on the individual is why patients trust him
He pays careful attention to each patient, taking the necessary time to assess the situation and ask questions during the consultation. Dr. Zuliani does not come up with a standardized treatment plan on the spot. Instead, he considers the best approach in each special situation, studies photos of the patient, designs a personalized plan, and only then presents his recommendations.
Dr. Zuliani also has a keen understanding of the differences among patients of different cultural backgrounds. He knows how to treat the face in a way that complements a patient’s individuality rather than changing it. His goal is to provide each of his patients with results that are in tune with his or her unique lifestyle, culture, and identity.
Real Client Experience
“As soon as I met Dr. Zuliani I was comfortable enough to where he could have done the surgery that day and I would’ve trusted him. He is very friendly and knows exactly what he is doing! Not only did he meet my expectations but the results are better than what I wanted… I still look forward to my short appointments with Dr. Zuliani every few months, he’s the best.”

How is a mini facelift performed?
The goal of the mini facelift is to reduce sagging and smooth wrinkles in the lower third region of the face. Dr. Zuliani will perform this facial surgery at an accredited hospital or surgery center conveniently located near Zuliani Facial Aesthetics in Bloomfield Hills.
Your mini facelift will be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on your own unique circumstances and what is discussed with Dr. Zuliani during your private consultation.
Mini facelift surgery with Dr. Zuliani involves the removal of excess skin, as well as lifting the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) and fat tissues to enhance your facial contours. Your specific surgery plan will be customized for your individual case and goal outcome.
A mini facelift with Dr. Zuliani typically takes about three hours to complete. Following your surgery, you will be able to return home under the care of a loved one. Dr. Zuliani will provide you with specific post care instructions and will be able to answer any questions you may have at this time.
What can be expected after a mini facelift?
The mini facelift is an outpatient procedure, meaning you will be able to return home that same day. You will need a loved one to drive you home and look after you on the day of your surgery. Dr. Zuliani may provide you with a compression garment to wear home and assist with the healing process.
Dr. Zuliani will have you come in for a follow-up consultation about a day after your surgery. After a week, he will remove your sutures.
You may feel well enough to return to work as soon as one week. Side effects such as bruising, swelling, and some discomfort are to be expected during the initial weeks of healing. Each patient will experience a different recovery period, and Dr. Zuliani will be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
The final results of your mini facelift can be seen within the first year of your surgery. Given the nature of this procedure, you will be able to enjoy very long-lasting benefits. Looking for a less-invasive option? Check out our Z Lightning Lift.
