Ideal Candidates for Mini Facelift Surgery

Dr. Kurkjian typically recommends mini facelift surgery for patients between 40-55 years old experiencing minimal to moderate skin laxity. During a comprehensive consultation, he will evaluate individual anatomy, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Personalized Surgical Technique

Dr. Kurkjian employs a specialized short-scar facelift technique that stops behind the ear, avoiding visible scarring. By carefully tightening the SMAS layer, he creates natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation with minimal tension on the skin.
