QuickLift Mini Facelift Before and After Photos

The QuickLift® Mini Face Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure that gently lifts the mid to lower face and tightens the neck and jaw line, resulting in a firmer, refreshed, more youthful appearance. 

Often called the "weekend facelift", the QuickLift can be performed on a Friday, and in many cases, patients feel comfortable returning to work as early as Monday or Tuesday.  Recovery from a Mini Facelift may vary as some patients may have additional facial rejvenation treatments performed during the QuickLift Mini Facelift surgery.

The QuickLift Mini Facelift procedure delivers results similar to those obtained through traditional lower face lift surgery but with a lower likelihood of complications, a faster recovery and lasting results.

Pittsburgh QuickLift Mini Face Lift Surgery

Pittsburgh QuickLift Mini Face Lift surgery is performed at The Skin Center Medical Spa's accredited outpatient surgical facility located in Mt. Lebanon, PA.  Performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, the QuickLift Mini Face Lift in Pittsburgh takes about an hour and may be combined with other types of facial rejuvenation treatments for enhanced results.  The QuickLift Mini Facelift Surgery should not be considered a quick Facelift Surgery.  If the QuickLift Mini Facelift is combined with additional procedures, the Mini Facelift recovery time may increase accordingly.

Benefits of QuickLift Mini Face Lift Surgery in Pittsburgh, PA:

  • Quick Outpatient Procedure
  • Local Anesthesia or Twilight Sedation
  • Minimal Downtime
  • Natural-looking Results
  • Immediate and Lasting Improvement

Developed by Pittsburgh native, Dominic Brandy, MD, board-certified cosmetic surgeon and founding medical director of The Skin Center Medical Spa, the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure begins with a small incision that is made just inside the hairline beginning at the temple and continuing downward along the tragus of the ear and finishing around the earlobe into the nape hair. 

The underlying connective tissue and facial muscles are lifted upward and suspended using a double purse-string suture technique, which immediately lifts the face, enhances the appearance of the jaw line and upper neck, and makes the results from the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure long lasting.

The excess skin is carefully removed, and the incision is meticulously closed under magnification using a suturing technique designed to reduce tension and minimize any visible scarring.

This relatively quick outpatient Mini Facelift procedure may be performed with local anesthesia or twilight sedation, making it virtually painless with minimal bleeding, and less bruising and swelling.

Bruising and swelling from the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure are minimal for most people. Healing time varies from person to person and can last from three to five days up to two weeks or longer in a small percentage of patients.

Cost of Mini Face Lift in Pittsburgh, PA

The cost of Mini Face Lift Surgery will depend on a number of factors such as the amount of skin that must be removed as well as the laxity of the skin.  In addition, many patients choose to have other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed during the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure.  The cost of the Pittsburgh Mini Face Lift Surgery will be determined during a private Mini Face Lift surgical consultation.

At The Skin Center Medical Spa in Pittsburgh, PA we approach surgical consultations with a highly customized, patient-centered process.  First, discussing the motivation for having a Mini Facelift, the goal of the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure and the patients' expectation following the QuickLift procedure.  You will leave the Pittsburgh Mini Face Lift consultation understanding, in detail, the cost for a Mini Face Lift, the QuickLift Mini Face Lift recovery as it relates to your specific surgery and how additional procedures performed during the QuickLift may increase the amount of time needed to recover from a Mini Facelift procedure.  You will also have a reasonable expectation of the results you can expect from your Mini Face Lift surgery.

QuickLift Mini Face Lift Recovery

The Mini Face Lift recovery will vary from patient to patient.  However, the QuickLift Mini Face Lift is often called the "weekend facelift" as some people are able to have the QuickLift Mini Face Lift procedure on a Thursday or Friday and return to work the following Monday, depending on their occupations.  

Most patients, however, feel comfortable resuming their normal lifestyles in one or two weeks.  If additional facial rejuvenation procedures are performed in conjunction with the QuickLift Mini Face Lift, recovery time may be prolonged.  

Prescription pain medication is provided, however, many individuals say that an over-the-counter pain reliever is all that is needed.  In addition to mild discomfort, some people may experience temporary bruising, which can be camouflaged with makeup three days following the Face Lift surgery. To minimize swelling, patients are encouraged to sleep with their head elevated for the first week and to apply cold compresses the first 48 hours.
