Mini Facelift Recovery: What to Expect

Rediscovering confidence through a mini facelift can be genuinely transformative, but one of the first questions we hear at Jorja Aesthetics is: “What is the real mini facelift recovery time?” If you’re considering a mini facelift, understanding the healing journey is just as important as choosing the right surgeon. At Jorja Aesthetics, we blend cutting-edge science with honest, human-first care—giving you clarity, control, and an empowered path back to daily life.

A mini facelift is designed for those seeking powerful results with a lighter touch—targeting mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline. Because it’s less extensive than a full facelift, the mini facelift recovery time is notably shorter. Most patients at Jorja Aesthetics can expect:

• Initial Swelling & Bruising (1–2 weeks): Swelling and minor bruising are natural responses, typically peaking within the first few days. At Jorja, personalised aftercare advice (and the ability to check in with your team via Adoreal’s digital dashboard) means no question ever goes unanswered.
• Stitch Removal (7–10 days): Stitches are usually removed after a week, with our clinicians providing gentle, careful support during every follow-up, so you feel respected throughout.
• Back to Daily Activities (2 weeks): Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure and advanced surgical techniques, most patients return to office work, socialising, and light exercise within two weeks. Realistically, you’ll still be healing under the surface, but most people feel confident and comfortable resuming normal routines quickly.
• Full Recovery (4–6 weeks): By six weeks, swelling and tightness typically settle, revealing refreshed contours and a natural, revitalised look. Recovery is unique to everyone—your lifestyle, skin quality, and healing habits all play a role. We’re with you every step, with open communication through Adoreal’s platform to monitor, reassure, and adapt your care as needed.
