All About the RT Mini Facelift

The RT mini facelift is a two hour facelift with minimal recovery time. This proprietary procedure sharpens the jawline, reduces creases, and lifts the cheek region.

Hi, I’m Dr. Athre. The upcoming video that you’re about to see is a new enhancement to our RT mini lift. Essentially, you’re going to see a patient who’s had an upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery, as well as the RT mini lift done completely under local anesthesia.

The purpose of this video is to see how quickly, easily, and effectively the procedure can be done with simple local anesthesia and a little bit of sedation.

Please take into account how comfortable this patient is. Doing the procedure this way has some significant advantages. First of all, patients recover much more quickly. They’re able to get back to work in as quick as a day or two, and they have very little nausea and vomiting. Furthermore, it’s much cheaper than having the procedure done under general anesthesia. If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to call us at 281-214-9978. Thank you. As you can see, I’m injecting some numbing medicine into her upper eyelid, and she’s extremely comfortable.

This is just with a little bit of oral sedation. Okay, so we’re doing this all under local anesthesia. And so we have injected her upper eyelids, it’s actually on both sides, and she is extremely comfortable while doing this procedure. Now we’re going to start, we’re also doing a facelift under local. We’re going to start injecting her neck. This is a little bit of numbing medicine for our first incision, which is going to be the liposuction incision. As you can see, she’s extremely comfortable. She’s actually taking a little snooze here. It just chilled out. So this is another way of doing it as opposed to doing it under general anesthesia. The injection we’re having numbing medicine all the way down in her neck. This is going to allow us to actually minimize the bruising as well as make it extremely comfortable for her when we do the liposuction.

Come on away. Guess what? Open your eyes for me. We’re all done. Okay, how was it? It was happy. It feels good?

Yeah, I think it was okay.

So you’re happy you had it done under local? Yeah. Yeah, pretty comfy? Yeah. All right. I’m just going to put a dressing on. We’re all done. I’m just putting a little bit of antibiotic ointment that’s pretty much all there is to it. All right.
