What To Expect From a MiniLift
01
Consultation
We begin your time at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates with an initial consultation. You’ll talk directly with one of our expert doctors about your cosmetic concerns, and they’ll offer your best options for treatment. Together, you’ll determine which procedure is best for your needs and schedule your surgery.
02
Preparation
Once decided, your provider will tell you what you can expect for your procedure, including before surgery and after surgery instructions. They will talk with you about your anesthesia options—we offer both IV sedation and general anesthetic, so you’ll talk about the pros and cons for each and decide which you will use for your facelift in Oklahoma City.
03
Procedure
Typically performed on the lower two-thirds of the face, a mini facelift often includes the neck, chin, and cheeks, improving the entire lower face and jawline. You may also decide to combine your facelift with other procedures. You and your surgeon can talk more about additional surgical options during your consultation.
04
Recovery
It is normal to experience bruising and swelling after facial surgery, and you may feel as if your face is being pulled tight. Your doctor will discuss other side effects you may experience as you heal and talk with you about your post-care instructions again. Then they’ll schedule your follow up appointment before sending you home to rest and recover.

MiniLift FAQs
As is the case with most surgeries, there is a risk of scarring. The extent of your scarring will depend on the types of procedures included in your treatment plan. Our skilled surgeons strategically place incisions in discrete areas that are not easily noticeable once they have healed. To help your incisions heal properly, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, which should be followed closely.
During the first week, you’ll need to rest with your head elevated to reduce swelling. Resting and avoiding strenuous activities is crucial during this time. We’ll provide prescription pain meds to help manage discomfort. You’ll have a follow-up visit with your surgeon to monitor healing and possibly remove stitches. While you may feel well enough to resume many activities within a few short weeks, full recovery in terms of final scar maturation and resolution of swelling can take several months.
