The mini facelift, as redefined by Dr. Dayan, stands as the epitome of non-invasive surgical excellence. Unlike a traditional facelift, this unique procedure, known as the "Quiet Lift," is Dr. Dayan's answer to the early signs of aging and skin laxity, offering natural-looking, subtle enhancements. It's a fusion of filler application and skin tightening, tailored to accentuate the most attractive facial features.
The Quiet Lift is the culmination of Dr. Dayan's extensive research and dedication to minimally invasive facelift techniques. It has gained international recognition, drawing patients from around the globe for its understated yet effective approach. This facelift procedure is favored by those who wish to return to their public roles swiftly, assuring quick, natural results with minimal discomfort. Unlike a deep plane facelift, most candidates can expect to resume regular activities within 10 days to 2 weeks.
Performed typically under local anesthesia, this hour-long facelift surgery involves a discreet incision along the hairline, gently lifting the skin and muscles to rejuvenate the face. The Quiet Lift addresses wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls, rejuvenating the face to a youthful state.
