A mini facelift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address the lower face, targeting early signs of aging around the jawline, cheeks, and neck. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a lift that enhances their natural beauty without the extensive recovery of a traditional facelift. At GK Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. George Kamel offers personalized mini facelift surgery to provide subtle, long-lasting results that restore youthful contours while maintaining facial harmony.
A mini facelift can reduce sagging skin, soften fine lines, and create a more defined jawline, allowing patients to look as refreshed as they feel. With precise techniques, Dr. Kamel ensures that each mini facelift delivers natural, understated improvements that blend seamlessly with the patient’s unique facial features.
“For years I’ve always wanted a breast lift but I’ve always been hesitant. Not really sure why. I guess finding the right doctor played a major part. Dr. George Kamel came highly recommended by one of my coworkers and After meeting him I understood why… Very genuine & professional ! Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed with the results. I absolutely love my new tatas. He is the Best of the Best. Ladies, he’s really easy on the eyes too… And the office staff were super helpful and very nice!“Erin P.
What is a Mini Facelift?
The mini facelift is sometimes referred to as a “weekend lift” due to its shorter recovery time and less invasive nature. Unlike a traditional facelift, which addresses deeper layers of facial tissue across the entire face, a mini facelift focuses specifically on the lower face and jawline, making it an excellent option for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging.
This procedure involves small incisions typically placed around the ears, allowing Dr. Kamel to access and gently tighten underlying tissues, creating a firmer, more youthful appearance without an overly “done” look. Mini facelifts are often chosen by patients in their 40s to 50s who wish to refresh their appearance without undergoing a more extensive surgery.
Key Benefits of Mini Facelift Surgery
Mini facelift surgery offers numerous benefits for patients seeking facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. By focusing on the lower face, Dr. Kamel provides targeted results that enhance natural contours, offering a refreshed appearance that looks both subtle and authentic.
Advantages of a Mini Facelift:
Refined Jawline and Lower Face
The procedure tightens loose skin along the jawline and around the mouth, creating a well-defined, youthful contour.
Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines
By lifting and smoothing the lower face, the mini facelift reduces the appearance of smile lines, marionette lines, and mild jowling.
Quick Recovery
With smaller incisions and less tissue adjustment, patients often experience a faster recovery than traditional facelift procedures.

The Mini Facelift Procedure: What to Expect
A mini facelift is performed using small, carefully placed incisions near the ears, allowing for minimal visible scarring.
Key Steps in the Mini Facelift Procedure:
Incision Placement
Incisions are placed along the natural contours of the ear to reduce visibility and ensure optimal healing.
Tissue Tightening and Repositioning
Dr. Kamel gently tightens and repositions the underlying facial muscles and tissues to lift sagging skin, creating a refreshed look without the “pulled” effect.
Final Adjustments for Smooth Contours
The skin is carefully redraped, and any excess is removed to achieve a natural, youthful contour along the jawline and lower face.
The mini facelift typically takes about 1-2 hours, and Dr. Kamel provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery. Patients often resume normal activities within a week, making the mini facelift an ideal option for those with busy schedules.
