Mini-lifts and S-Lifts

The Mini-Lift and S-Lift

Mini-Lift

The concept of  less-invasive mini-lifts has become increasingly important in recent years.  While you may be considering facial rejuvenation procedures at an earlier age, not wanting to wait until the aging process is too apparent, cosmetic surgeons have developed less invasive techniques to address the lesser aging changes.  Often, the results can be as dramatic as more extensive procedures with significantly less downtime.  The same procedures are frequently coupled with Botox^® or fillers such as Restylane^® to create the desired effect without a “surgical look.”  Dr. Brackup has a number of publications and has lectured extensively on this subject.

S-Lift

The S-Lift, as performed by Dr. Brackup, has been a major advance for patients seeking facial enhancement at an earlier age.  Essentially, the cheeks, jowls, and skin beneath the chin can be lifted and repositioned with the same efficacy as a facelift, with a much smaller incision. The S-Lift gets its name from the fact that it is accomplished through an "S"-shaped incision around the ears. Just as in a facelift, the underlying facial muscles are tightened to achieve a long-lasting effect, as the cheeks and jowls are lifted and excess skin removed. We are now able to convert many patients who otherwise would require a facelift to the S-lift procedure.  Just as for a facelift, general anesthesia is not required.
