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.

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.

What to Expect From the Procedure

Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Sherris. He will examine your face, discuss your goals, and explain whether a mini facelift or another approach is best suited to you.

Surgery

A mini facelift is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes one to two hours. Dr. Sherris makes small incisions around the ears and lifts the underlying tissue to tighten and smooth the lower face and jawline.

Recovery

Most patients return to daily activities within one to two weeks. Some swelling and bruising are normal in the first several days. Dr. Sherris will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.
