Some surgeons are calling them "lunchtime procedures", some call them "mini procedures", some call them "weekend procedures" but whatever the term, they are quickly becoming the latest trend in Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery.

Perhaps you have witnessed a "weekend procedure". A co-worker comes back from a long weekend looking refreshed, rejuvenated, somehow different. You think, "Have they had some work done?" But how can they have, when there are no scars, bruises, or bandages in sight? The latest technology in Beverly Hills plastic surgery make minimally invasive cosmetic procedures ideal for those who are looking for optimal results with less downtime.

Perhaps you really aren't ready for a traditional Beverly Hills facelift, but would like a more youthful and rested look, and have a few choice lines and wrinkles to remove. A mini-facelift, mid-facelift, endoscopic facelift or forehead lift, or short scar facelift may be what you're looking for. These are considered minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedures, so there is minimum downtime apart from some minor bruising and swelling which lasts only a couple days. Most of these Beverly Hills face lift procedures can be done under local anesthesia, and take around 1-2 hours at the most. Minor discomfort is associated, as with any cosmetic procedure, but you can be expected to resume normal activities after a few painkillers and 3-5 days recovery time.

In a Beverly Hills short scar facelift, the surgeon makes small incisions at the hairline and behind the ears and vertically lifts the fat, muscles and skin. The result is elevation of the skin and support of both skin and underlying tissue and muscles, especially in the mid face and jowls areas. The scars a much more minimal than in a traditional or full facelift, which is a more complicated and invasive procedure, lasting 2-6 hours surgery time, while recovery time requires 2-3 weeks. The upside of a full facelift of course, is that its results last up to 10 years while erasing 10-20 years from your face.

Your Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon will be able to talk to you more about the results and longevity of these mini procedures. Because while the end result is generally a more youthful looking appearance, your age, skin elasticity, and medical background will determine how best, and how long the results will last for you. Ultimately it comes down to your expectations. There may be 2 or 3 or more procedures available to give you the exact outcome you're looking for.

    Such surgery eliminates a particular aspect of the patient's eye construction, an element that gives each Asian a creaseless eyelid. Due to the nature of the Asian eye, skin and fat interfere with the extension coming from the eye muscle. Because of that interference, the eyelid does not form a crease when the eye is opened.
