Meeting the mirror each morning should feel inspiring. However, sagging cheeks or premature jowls can make you look more tired than you feel. A mini facelift in Toronto could give you a gentle lift and definition without changing your unique character.
At FORM Face + Body, plastic surgeons Dr. Ron Somogyi and Dr. Waqqas Jalil and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Brandt use artful techniques to ensure that a facelift can fit naturally into your busy life. During your initial visit, we will review your goals, show sample results with our Crisalix 3-D modelling, and explain how a mini facelift fits into the broader world of facelift surgery. You will be able to ask questions in a relaxed environment and leave with a clear recovery roadmap. Meeting your surgeon on day one sets the tone for the personalized care ahead.
A conventional facelift involves releasing your skin from your temples to your neck. The surgeon then reattaches the deeper superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer through incisions that sweep behind your ears.
By contrast, our Toronto mini lift—often called a lower facelift—specifically targets early signs of aging along the mid-face and jawline, including softening jowls. Using a discreet short-scar entry hidden in the natural crease just in front of the ear, we elevate the SMAS layer to restore definition beneath the cheekbones and along the jawline. Excess skin is gently refined, then closed with ultra-fine, meticulously placed sutures that often dissolve naturally. Because the surgical field is smaller and tissues remain vascularized, bruising, swelling, and anesthesia time are all reduced. Most of our clients choose local anesthesia with sedation and return to light social activity within one week.
Dr. Somogyi, Dr. Jalil, and Dr. Brandt recommend a mini SMAS lift to Toronto residents seeking a noticeable yet natural-looking refinement. A thorough consultation helps confirm whether a mini lift could address your goals or whether a full lift would be more suitable.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
We conclude the visit by outlining pre-op labs, photography, and support resources so you feel completely prepared.
We believe surgery is equal parts science and art. Consultations in Toronto for mini facelifts take place in a bright, modern studio. Your $150 consultation fee is later deducted from your surgery costs.
In our studio, you could review Crisalix simulations to visualize subtle lifting angles, then discuss incision placement and anesthesia details directly with one of our expert surgeons. Because we thoughtfully limit our surgical schedule each day, your experience remains unhurried and highly personalized—from your first consultation through recovery. You’ll also receive direct access to our dedicated post-operative care line, available 24/7, for unparalleled peace of mind.
A Toronto mini facelift relies on short-scar access in front of the ear. We gently elevate the SMAS layer, secure deeper tissues to restore cheek volume, and re-drape skin for a smooth, youthful contour. Localized focus means less swelling, allowing you to enjoy light social activities after around one week. The entire surgery typically takes 90 minutes. You could go home the same afternoon with detailed instructions, prescription medication, and a direct number you can call any time.
Plan on two or three days of elevated rest, light walks in your Toronto neighbourhood, and protein-rich snacks after your mini facelift surgery. Swelling typically softens within the first several days, and you may feel comfortable wearing makeup once the sutures have naturally dissolved or been removed. Many clients ease back into work and social routines gradually, often feeling ready to do so within a week or so—sometimes with the subtle confidence of a light scarf.
Any remaining swelling will reduce over the next several weeks, revealing a refreshed lower-face outline that could last five to eight years. Because we avoid over-tightening, friends notice your energy, not your surgery.
