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 of 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 discuss 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.
Complete any pre-op tests and exams ordered by your doctor.
Avoid aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications before your surgery.
Arrive to your appointment with a clean face—no makeup, lotions, or perfumes.
Use a cold compress to help with swelling.
Keep your face clean and dry.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco as directed by your doctor.
Benefits of a Facelift
There are many benefits to coming to Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates for your facelift in Oklahoma City, but here is why our patients loved their experience.
A MiniLift delivers results that can last for many years. Of course the aging process does not stop, but many patients enjoy the benefits of their surgery for 10 years or more.
There's a reason our surgeons have received many awards for their skills. They've spent years developing their expertise so they can deliver the best care possible.
You won't have to shy away from mirrors—with your sagging skin and wrinkles gone, you will feel more confident in your appearance and enjoy looking at your reflection.
Taking Guesswork Out of The Equation
We prioritize your experience at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates. Our experts will take you through the process step-by-step so you feel confident in your surgery plan and your results.
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we recognize that aesthetics is an investment in yourself. The bond we have with ourselves is the most important one, yet often we tend to overlook it. Our surgeons are dedicated to helping you strengthen this connection. Looking and feeling your best is essential to living your best life, and here, we help you have it all.
Most patients in good health who are experiencing the signs and symptoms of aging are good candidates for a mini facelift in Oklahoma City. Certain habits and lifestyle choices can impact the elasticity of your skin, leading to early aging. But generally speaking, patients ages 40 to 70 are ideal candidates for facial surgeries.
We may recommend a mini facelift to patients in their 40s who want to minimize skin laxity and other signs of aging that cannot be addressed with less invasive treatment
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.
We have a fully accredited (AAAHC) ambulatory specialty outpatient facility in our one location. This means we perform all your services as an outpatient, with no need to stay in-house and no reason to incur those kinds of expenses. Instead, we help you prepare before the operation, so that your transition to home is as smooth and supported as possible.
We recommend that patients take things easy for 2 to 3 weeks after their facelift in Oklahoma City. Within the following month, most patients feel comfortable being out in public again. We recommend scheduling your facial procedure at least 3 to 6 months before any major event to ensure optimal healing and results.
Many of our patients schedule their facial procedures in the fall and winter months. These colder seasons make it easier to cover your incisions with hats, scarves, or high-necked clothing. Patients generally have fewer social gatherings during these months as well.
Our world renowned experts in elective surgery have served more than 26,000 patients. We will prove to you why more patients travel to Oklahoma City for their care!

No two mini facelifts are the same. Where other surgeons approach all facial procedures with the same techniques, our surgeons customize your mini facelift with your needs in mind.
Your surgeon asks a variety of questions to learn more about your aesthetic goals during your consultation. This information helps them form a better picture of how you want to look after surgery. They examine your desired treatment area to determine what results they can create given your anatomy.
Though safety is our top priority, patient satisfaction is a close second. Our surgeons have made it their mission to help patients transform their self-confidence. We personalize your procedure plan based on the information shared during your consultation. We also take the time to answer your questions to ensure you enter your procedure with realistic expectations.
