Mini Facelift in Houston, TX | Murillo Plastic Surgery
A mini facelift is a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift, designed for patients who are beginning to notice early signs of aging in the lower face and jawline. At Murillo Plastic Surgery in Houston, TX, Dr. Carlos Murillo performs mini facelifts to help patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance without the longer recovery associated with more extensive surgery. This procedure is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, early jowling, or sagging around the cheeks.

What Happens During A Mini-Facelift?
During a mini facelift, Dr. Murillo makes smaller, discreet incisions—often hidden around the ears—to tighten underlying facial tissues and gently reposition the skin. By targeting the mid-to-lower face, this procedure smooths wrinkles, enhances facial contours, and restores definition along the jawline. The results are natural-looking and subtle, helping patients look rejuvenated while still maintaining their unique features.
What Can I Expect During Mini-Facelift Recovery?
Because the mini facelift is less invasive, recovery time is typically faster compared to a full facelift. Many patients are able to return to work and social activities within 1–2 weeks, enjoying visible improvements that continue to enhance as swelling subsides. With proper care, the benefits of a mini facelift are long-lasting, offering a more youthful and refreshed look for years to come. Dr. Murillo tailors each mini facelift to the patient’s individual needs, ensuring results that enhance overall facial balance and harmony. For patients in Houston and surrounding areas, a mini facelift offers a safe and effective way to turn back the clock while maintaining a natural, confident appearance.
