Mini Facelift
Consultations offered at our two convenient locations in Florham Park, NJ and Somerville, NJ

Want to know the average cost of a mini facelift in New Jersey? Our team at The Peer Group will discuss the cost of this procedure—and other details—when you meet with us for a consultation. But why consider this surgery at all?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the face’s shape can change as tissues migrate downward due to gravity. This shift can be corrected with non-invasive treatments, plastic surgery, or a combination of the two strategies. Mini facelift surgery—which patients sometimes refer to as mini jowl lift plastic surgery or a lower facelift—is a surgical option focused on improving loose skin, jowls, and excess fat on the lower face.

Cost
How much does a “mini lift” or plastic surgery on the jowls cost? Will a mini facelift cost less than a full facelift? These are some of the most common questions we hear about these options at The Peer Group.
Typically, a mini facelift is a less expensive option. However, the cost of a mini facelift can be very similar to that of a full facelift, so patients shouldn’t necessarily assume that a mini facelift would be the best deal.
Aside from the cost of the mini facelift surgery itself, know that there are other costs involved, including anesthesia fees, the cost of post-operative prescription medications, and hospital fees. The cost of a mini facelift won’t usually be covered by medical insurance as it is an aesthetic surgery, so it is not medically necessary.
The cost of a mini facelift will also vary depending on the length and involvement of the surgery. The cost of a mini neck lift, or a full neck lift will also vary dramatically based on similar factors, but it is generally lower than the cost of a mini facelift because there may be a shorter operating time and the procedure is less complex. Specific quotes can be given at a personalized consultation.
Procedure
Aside from the cost of mini facelift surgery, there are other aspects of this procedure that patients should be aware of, including mini facelift recovery time and preparation. There is generally less recovery time for the “mini” option when compared to that of a full facelift. Both options provide results that can last up to ten years on average since the face will continue to age.

Additional Procedures
Patients who are interested in learning about the cost of a mini facelift may also benefit from other options for rejuvenating the face at The Peer Group. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers such as the Juvéderm® and Restylane® collections can add volume or lift to the mid-face area. Eyelid rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, and chin augmentation are some of the most requested types of face surgery for men, all of which can provide balance and improved proportions that impact the overall look of the face.
