The Minimal Incision
Princess Face Lift

Are you looking to get your youthful look back?


The Princess Facelift is your ticket to a gorgeous and younger appearance if your face is starting to get wrinkles and lines.

The Princess Face Lift


Although facial aging is inevitable, it is not inescapable. The Princess Face Lift is a procedure that is performed through a barely noticeable incision just below the eyelashes. From this approach, the entire cheek can be elevated along with the jawline and the nasolabial fold (the long crease next to your nose) can be softened and made less noticeable. Even the so-called tear trough deformity can be corrected through this approach. In many cases, bulging fat in the lower lid can be reduced and some of the fat can be transferred over the bony rim to soften the lid-cheek junction. This junction elongates with age and the vertical Princess Lift shortens the distance from the eyelashes to the cheek resulting in a more youthful appearance.


Our medical team frequently performs this procedure at our clinic to alleviate modest facial sagging or as a compromise for the longer incisions, longer recovery period, and higher cost associated with a traditional facelift. We can help you get back to being the princess that you are.

The Prince Face Lift


The counterpart to the Princess Lift in men is called the Prince Lift. The procedure is performed the same way as in a female and shortening of the lid/cheek junction with or without a short scar necklift produces a handsome face and neck contour turning the clock back 10-15 years.

Our Minimal Incision

is a unique procedure that helps people get the princess look they want.

What is a Minimal Incision Face Lift?

A minimal incision, referred to as a short scar facelift or rhytidectomy in medicine, is a cosmetic surgical treatment used to treat drooping in the neck, and lower face (i.e., jowls and turkey neck). This procedure is often added to the Princess and the Prince Lift to correct the sagging of the neck. It is performed through small incisions around your earlobe and in the crease behind your ear resulting in unnoticeable scars. You will not have to change your hairstyle to cover any incisions. Combined with the Princess and the Prince Facelift, full rejuvenation of the central part of the face and neck are accomplished with barely noticeable scars.

How to Prepare for the Facelift Procedure.

At your initial appointment, Dr. Smith, Dr. Paul, or another member of the team will speak with you about your problems and determine whether you are a good fit. You might need to receive a blood test to determine whether you are healthy enough to have surgery. You will get instructions from our staff on how to be ready for your treatment, which often includes doing the following:

  • Use or change some of your present medications.
  • Use certain skin care products before and after your surgery
  • Put an end to smoking weeks before your treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol for a few days before the procedure.
  • Avoid aspirin or other blood thinners unless required due to a prior medical condition.

Recovery after the procedure.

Recovery happens in phases. You should relax and use cooling pads to decrease edema for the first several days. You will likely be prescribed oral steroids to hasten the resolution of swelling. Your sutures will probably be taken out within a few days. The amount of swelling and bruising will determine how long it will take you to look decent in public, although it usually takes 7-14 days. However, it could take a month or more to fully heal and achieve the best benefits.
