Dr. Cutolo developed the Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift technique to provide people who are looking for a less-invasive facelift alternative with a procedure that addresses their aesthetic concerns without requiring such a lengthy recovery. The benefits of choosing Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift:
In certain cases, the traditional technique may still be the best facelift option. At his New York practice, Dr. Cutolo recommends what he believes is the best approach for you following a personal consultation.
A mini facelift is best suited for patients with early to moderate signs of aging, particularly in the lower face. Unlike candidates for a traditional or deep plane facelift—who often have more significant skin laxity and deeper structural changes—mini facelift patients typically want to address more localized concerns without undergoing a more extensive procedure.
You may be a good candidate for a mini facelift if you:
Because a mini facelift focuses on the lower third of the face, some patients choose to combine it with nonsurgical treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers, or link pid=”213″]fat injections[/link] to enhance areas like the cheeks or forehead for more balanced results.
Dr. Cutolo uses the state-of-the-art VECTRA® 3D imaging system during consultations to help patients envision the results of their face procedures.

Meet Dr. CutoloRejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift is performed as an outpatient procedure at Dr. Cutolo’s Staten Island office, using local anesthesia and oral sedation to keep you comfortable throughout. This approach allows for what is often referred to as an “awake facelift,” meaning you can undergo treatment without general anesthesia while remaining relaxed and at ease.
Can you have a facelift while awake? Yes, for the right candidates. A facelift with local anesthesia works well for early signs of aging in the lower face. It is less invasive than more extensive procedures.
During the procedure, Dr. Cutolo removes excess skin and refines underlying tissue in the lower face to smooth lines and improve jawline definition. Most treatments take about 1½ to 2 hours. Because general anesthesia isn’t required, patients are able to return home shortly after their procedure.
Because Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift is less involved than a traditional facelift, patients find that the recovery is a bit easier. For most patients, the recovery process takes about 10 days, at which time they are able to return to most of their normal activities.
Patients are scheduled for a follow-up appointment the next day and then 1 week later for suture removal.
Patients who have undergone Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift procedures often remark that they feel their faces finally match how they feel inside—an invaluable benefit of any cosmetic procedure. Though no facelift can halt the aging process, the results of a Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift procedure can be enjoyed for years, and you’ll continue to “beat the clock” as you age.
The price of any cosmetic surgery procedure varies from patient to patient and is based on several factors. Those include the specific needs of the patient and the extent of the surgery.
Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift costs less than a traditional facelift, in part because the procedure uses a local anesthetic with sedation, instead of general anesthesia. We will quote a specific price for your procedure after the consultation.
Yes. Because signs of aging typically occur in all areas of the face, they may be more pronounced in certain areas, such as the neck and jawline. Fine lines, wrinkles around the eyes, and lost volume in the midface can be addressed either surgically or nonsurgically as a complement to your Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift procedure.
For example, BOTOX and dermal filler injections can enhance the surgical rejuvenation offered by Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift in the lower third of the face. Or you may elect to combine eyelid surgery with Rejuvelift™ – Mini Facelift. Dr. Cutolo creates a specific treatment plan based on your consultation.
