A traditional facelift often requires weeks of at-home recovery. It involves significant swelling and discomfort that should be managed with proper aftercare. Many people seeking facial rejuvenation do not have the time or desire to stay away from work and social activities for that long. Our experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Solomon, has found a way to give his patients the desired results without extensive downtime. He achieves this with a mini facelift.
The next step is removing excess skin, tightening facial muscles, and re-draping tissues. Dr. Solomon uses the latest techniques to achieve natural-looking results and minimize scarring.
A neck lift is often performed alongside a mini facelift to create a more seamless rejuvenation between the face and neck. This procedure addresses sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat under the chin, resulting in a smoother and more defined neck contour.
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, improves the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. It can reduce puffiness, correct drooping lids, and restore a more alert, youthful look to the eyes.

The cost of a mini facelift in Tampa & Clearwater ranges from $5,000 to $9,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual patient’s needs. To determine the most accurate estimate and discuss your aesthetic goals, scheduling a private consultation with Dr. Solomon is essential. During this consultation, you’ll receive personalized recommendations and detailed pricing tailored to your treatment plan.
Lifestyle choices, skin type, sun exposure, and heredity can all affect how long the results will last. Taking care of your skin during recovery is crucial. Using professional-grade skin products and having regular skin treatments, such as facials or peels at Solomon Cosmetic Center, may prolong your results. The mini facelift can be coupled with other procedures, such as an eye lift, chin or cheek enhancements, nose surgery, laser skin resurfacing, body liposuction, breast augmentation, and other body procedures.
You will immediately notice the results of the procedure. The results will become even more noticeable after the swelling and bruising dissipate. Many patients notice that the results last many years. Taking care of your skin and protecting it from the sun are some things that you can do to increase the amount of time that your mini facelift lasts.
Choosing the best surgeon for a mini facelift involves careful research and consideration. Look for a doctor with extensive experience performing this specific plastic surgery procedure. Review before-and-after photos of their previous patients, check board certification, and read testimonials. A thorough private consultation ensures you feel comfortable and confident in their expertise and approach.
A mini facelift is a cosmetic surgery that provides more significant and longer-lasting results than non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques like dermal fillers. While dermal fillers are an excellent option for addressing volume loss and fine lines, they cannot tighten underlying muscles or remove excess skin. A mini facelift offers a surgical solution with durable results for patients seeking more dramatic improvements in skin laxity and facial contour.
