Facelift price - Differences between full and mini facelift

This article has been reviewed and approved by Chief Medical Officer and Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Ali Bagher on July 20, 2025.

When the skin on your face has lost its elasticity and the reflection in the mirror doesn't really reflect how you feel inside, it can feel both tough and sad. A facelift can be a solution to regain a more alert, rested appearance and there are several different options depending on the extent of the changes you want. Here at Estetikcentrum , we offer both traditional and less extensive facelifts, so you can find a procedure that suits your needs.

We are often asked what the difference between a full facelift and a mini facelift is, and what the costs will be. That's why we've gathered all the information you need to answer the question and hopefully feel more confident in your choice.

A complete facelift 

A traditional or 'full' facelift is a surgical procedure where the skin is tightened from the temples, down over the cheeks and all the way behind the ears. It is the most effective way to get rid of skin that has become really saggy, as well as deeper creases.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes between 3-4 hours. The result is a face that looks many years younger, with improved contours and less sagging skin. This is usually particularly visible around the jawline, cheeks and neck. The price for a full facelift is higher than for the mini option, as the procedure is more extensive and requires longer recovery.

So who is the full facelift for? We usually say that this method is best suited for those in their 50s and 70s who have deeper signs of aging or for those who want a longer lasting and more noticeable change.

Mini facelift (Hollywood facelift)

We also offer the Mini-facelift, also known as the Hollywood facelift or weekend facelift. It is a minor procedure that focuses on the lower part of the face, especially around the chin and jawline. The procedure takes less time, can often be done under local anesthesia and gives a more discreet result. You'll look more awake and refreshed, with no visible signs of major surgery.

This is a good option if you have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to avoid a long recovery. Many people return to their daily lives after just a few days, but it's important to let your body rest and recover in peace. Because the mini-facelift is less extensive, the price is also lower than a full facelift. This is suitable for those who want a visible but natural rejuvenation.
