Mini Facelift — Pasadena and Los Angeles (Midface Lift)
The practice of Dr. Michael Schwartz is pleased to offer mini facelift surgery to Pasadena and Los Angeles area residents. This midface lift can be an excellent option for patients who have some sagging around the jowls or midface region, but who do not require a full facelift. A mini facelift is performed for our Pasadena patients using very small incisions. This approach results in minimal downtime following surgery.

The midface, which refers to the area of the face around the cheeks and outside the nasolabial folds, often sags and creates deep folds around the mouth. This area can be lifted with a simple procedure that suspends the fat compartment and skin using a remarkable new device called the ENDOTINE Midface™.
The ENDOTINE Midface™ is a small strap connected to a fixation device the size of a dime. With this strap, Dr. Schwartz can selectively lift and reposition the tissues of the midface through a small incision behind the hairline above the ear. Over a six-month period the ENDOTINE Midface™ slowly dissolves, leaving the repositioned tissue healed in its new location. Discomfort is minimal following the mini facelift. Los Angeles midface lift patients can expect slight bruising and swelling and a quick return to normal daily activities.

Necklift
In addition to the mini facelift, Dr. Schwartz also performs necklift surgery for Los Angeles area patients. Often, the neck skin and muscle are loose, but the rest of the face still has a youthful appearance. The neck can be tightened remarkably to restore a youthful neck and jawline.
A necklift is performed by suctioning fat in the neck using tumescent liposuction, or our new SmartLipo™ laser liposuction technique. Dr. Schwartz will also suture the neck platysma muscle to re-establish lost elasticity, and tighten and trim any excess skin. The procedure is performed through a small incision under the chin and another small incision on either side behind the ear.
Dr. Schwartz takes great care when tightening the platysmal muscle in the submental neck region. This tightening restores the tautness of the neck’s natural muscle sling and results in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
