Mini Facelift in Buffalo, NY
Real Results, Less Downtime
- Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon
- Named among the Best Doctors in America since 2005

Subtle Changes That Make All the Difference
This patient wanted to address early jowling and creases around the mouth without the recovery of a SMAS facelift. Our plastic surgeon in Buffalo, NY, performed a mini facelift, and these results show improvement just two months after surgery. The jawline is smoother, the lower face is more defined, and the overall effect is a refreshed, natural appearance.


“Love Dr. Sherris, Nurse Arlene, and all the wonderful staff. Everything is explained in detail and all questions are answered. You are never rushed. All costs are discussed up front with no surprises. Dr. Sherris is very friendly and so talented. Would highly recommend."

Mini Facelift Cost and Financing
A mini facelift is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance. The cost depends on several factors specific to each patient, and Dr. Sherris' office will provide a personalized estimate during your consultation. Factors that may influence the cost include:
- Whether complementary procedures are performed at the same time
- Anesthesia and facility fees
- The extent of the correction needed
To help make treatment accessible, The Clinic of Facial Plastic Surgery accepts financing through CareCredit®. CareCredit allows patients to break up costs into manageable monthly payments. Ask our team about financing when you schedule your consultation.
"My experience with Dr. David Sherris was amazing start to finish. Super attentive, friendly, and professional staff. I was given very clear instructions and what to expect pre- and post-op. I never had a single doubt I was in the best hands."

Is a Mini Facelift Right for You?
A mini facelift may be a good fit if you:
Are in your 40s or early 50s with early signs of lower face aging
Have mild skin laxity, early jowling, or deepening nasolabial folds
Want surgical improvement with a shorter recovery than a SMAS facelift
Are no longer achieving your goals with injectables alone
Not every patient is a candidate. Dr. Sherris may recommend a SMAS facelift for moderate concerns, a deep plane facelift for more advanced aging, or continued injectable treatments for patients who are not yet ready for surgery. During your consultation at The Clinic of Facial Plastic Surgery in Buffalo, NY, he will inquire about your goals and explain each option.
