REJUVENATE WITH A MINI FACELIFT IN WESTPORT, CONNECTICUT
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is a less invasive option for patients seeking subtle facial rejuvenation with shorter downtime. At Westport Plastic Surgery, Dr. Boris Goldman offers mini facelift surgery as part of his comprehensive facelift approach, selecting the best technique for each patient based on facial anatomy, degree of aging, and aesthetic goals.
This procedure focuses on refreshing the lower face and jawline while maintaining a natural, youthful appearance.

What Is a Mini Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is an advanced form of facelift surgery that lifts the deeper structural layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. By repositioning the underlying connective tissues and muscles as a single unit, this technique creates smoother, more natural looking results, especially in the midface, cheeks, jawline, and around the mouth.
Unlike traditional facelift techniques that focus primarily on skin tightening, the deep plane approach restores volume, softens deep facial folds, and improves contour while reducing surface tension on the skin.

Is A Deep Plane Facelift Surgery Right for You?
A deep plane facelift may be an ideal option for individuals who are experiencing noticeable facial sagging, deep folds around the mouth, loss of cheek volume, or heavy jowling along the jawline. Many patients feel that their outward appearance no longer reflects how youthful and energetic they feel inside. If you are bothered by advanced signs of facial aging and are seeking long lasting, natural looking rejuvenation rather than surface level tightening, this advanced technique may be well suited to your goals. During your consultation, Dr. Goldman will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and overall health to determine whether a deep plane facelift is the most effective solution for your concerns.

Your Deep Plane Facelift Journey: What to Expect
Your facelift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Westport Plastic Surgery. During this visit, Dr. Goldman will evaluate your facial structure, degree of skin laxity, and aging patterns. He will discuss your aesthetic concerns, explain the various facelift options available, including whether the deep plane technique is appropriate for you and outline the surgical plan best suited to your goals.
On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Goldman uses carefully placed incisions along natural facial contours and hairlines to minimize visible scarring. By lifting the deeper facial layers together, he is able to restore youthful facial definition without creating a tight or artificial appearance.
Medical Evaluation
Completing a health assessment to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Avoiding smoking and certain medications that can interfere with healing.
Skin Preparation
Using recommended skincare products to optimize skin condition before surgery.
Logistical Planning
Arranging transportation and post-surgery care with a trusted companion, as you will not be able to drive immediately after the procedure.
Dr. Goldman and his team are dedicated to addressing your questions and ensuring you feel fully prepared for the journey ahead.
The Facelift Procedure
Deep plane facelift surgery is performed at an accredited surgical facility to ensure the highest safety standards. On the day of your procedure, you’ll check in and be guided through the pre-operative process with Dr. Goldman’s surgical team.
The surgery involves carefully placed incisions along the hairline and ears to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, Dr. Goldman:
✔ Repositions deeper facial tissues for improved contour
✔ Removes excess skin and contributing fat
✔ Smooths and re-drapes the skin for a refreshed appearance
The procedure is tailored to your anatomy to ensure results that look natural and harmonious with your features.
Deep Plane Facelift Recovery After Surgery
Recovery following a deep plane facelift is similar to that of other advanced facelift procedures. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common during the first one to two weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities within 10–14 days, with continued improvement over the following several weeks.
Dr. Goldman provides detailed recovery instructions and monitors each stage of healing closely to ensure optimal results. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting are typically restricted for several weeks as the tissues continue to settle.

Final Results
While initial improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, full results typically develop over several months as swelling completely resolves. The outcome is a natural, youthful appearance that lasts for years.

How Long Do Deep Plane Facelift Results Last?
Deep plane facelift results are among the longest-lasting outcomes in facial rejuvenation. Many patients continue to enjoy their refreshed, youthful appearance for 10–15 years or longer. Because the deeper facial structures are repositioned rather than just tightened at the surface, the results tend to age more naturally over time.
While no surgical procedure can stop the natural aging process, the deep plane technique offers exceptional longevity when paired with proper skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.
