Dr. John Burroughs is an oculofacial plastic surgeon based in Colorado Springs that treats patients from all over Colorado and the surrounding states. The mini-incision facelift is one of his most requested procedures. It goes by other names to include the weekend lift, short-scar facelift, mini lift, quick lift, and others. It is so popular because for the right patients it provides real facelift results with minimal downtime or discomfort. With proper planning and incision design the mini-incision facelift takes between 60-90 minutes. It improves the jowls, perio-oral lines/wrinkles, and upper neck. It won’t remove excess fatty tissue, so for patients with excess fatty tissue they will also need fat removal in addition to a facelift. For women, who where their hair forward, it can often be done and not noticed except for some minimal bruising. Dr. Burroughs usually performs some dermal fillers around the mouth and pre jowl areas as needed to further help enhance and redefine the jawline. Sutures are removed between 8-10 days except for some dissolvable sutures behind the ears that can take a few weeks to disappear. There is very low risk of getting a pixie-ear deformity or nerve damage that could affect normal facial expressions.
This patient was most bothered by her perio-oral lines and some sagging of her jowls and upper neck. She has been very pleased with her results and quick recovery. Many of Dr. Burroughs’ professional patients own businesses, run offices, are medical providers and they often return to work within a day or two of surgery. It is best to minimize bending over, stretching the neck tissues, or straining for about a week. Are you tired of your face looking older than you feel or tired or sad?
