Mini Facelift in Tucson – Subtle Lift, Stunning Results
Aging doesn’t have to mean sagging skin or jowls. A Mini Facelift offers a subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation for the lower face, giving you a refreshed appearance with minimal downtime. At Tucson Cosmetics, this procedure is ideal for those seeking to tighten sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and restore youthful definition – especially around the jawline and lower cheeks.
What Is a Mini Facelift?
A Mini Facelift is a less-invasive surgical procedure designed to improve mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jowls. This focused lift targets excess skin and enhances the natural “V” shape of the face—without the extensive downtime of a full facelift.
Depending on your goals, a Mini Facelift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other treatments such as liposuction, eyelid lift, or skin tightening to optimize your results.
How the treatment Is Performed
Your procedure is performed in our private surgical suite under local anesthesia and oral sedation, making it a safer and more comfortable experience.

A discreet incision is made in front of the ear.
-
Dr. Rubbani precisely repositions the underlying muscle.

Dr. Rubbani applies the same meticulous care from her ocular surgery training to ensure natural-looking and beautiful outcomes.
