You may have already seen the results of mini face lift surgery on one of your friends, a family friend or even read in a magazine how much a difference the procedure has made to the facial features and fresh looking appearance of a celebrity or film star.

If you are seriously thinking about making an appointment with a plastic surgeon it can sometimes be advantageous to seek out someone you know such as a friend or family member who has already had a mini face lift procedure so you can see with your own eyes how it has improved their sagging skin and jowly look they had before surgery. It can also help you to learn what to expect and give you an idea on the cost and help to ease a raft of other things that may be on your mind.

In some cases someone (outside your close circle of friends or family) who has already had the procedure may feel uncomfortable talking to you about the mini face lift procedure, but it never hurts to ask. If you are upfront from the beginning and mention you are keen to have the procedure yourself and would appreciate some advice, it may open the door a little as far as awkwardness is concerned.

There are of course other matters that you will need to consider before picking up your phone to make an appointment. For example it is important to consider the risks, benefits, results and options to ensure you have the procedure that is right for you.

The overall cost can depend a great deal on what state in the USA you reside and the fees some surgeons charge may vary because of their location, reputation and experience.

In addition, you need to be aware that the mini facelift is classed as a cosmetic procedure and would not be covered by medical insurance.
