Mr Reza Nassab offers the mini facelift in Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ in Deansgate Square. A mini facelift under local anaesthetic may be carried out at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, while surgery under general anaesthetic takes place at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. The procedure lifts the lower face and softens early jowls through shorter scars than a full facelift, and is priced from £8,000 under local anaesthetic or £9,500 under general anaesthetic, with the £150 consultation charged separately.
What a mini facelift involves
A mini facelift tightens the deeper layer of tissue in the lower face, known as the SMAS, and removes a modest amount of skin through an incision that runs in the crease in front of the ear and sometimes a short distance behind it. It is designed for early jowling and mild loss of jawline definition rather than significant neck laxity. The operation is often performed under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation, and typically takes a couple of hours. The aim is a refreshed lower face that still looks like you.
Your consultation in Manchester
Consultations take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, with appointments also available at CLNQ in Knutsford. Mr Nassab will ask about your concerns, medical history and medications, then examine skin quality, the jawline, the neck and facial volume. Photographs are taken for your records. You will be told honestly whether a mini facelift is appropriate or whether a full facelift, a neck procedure or a non-surgical approach would suit you better. A second consultation is encouraged before booking so you have time to reflect.
The day of surgery
A mini facelift under local anaesthetic may be carried out at CLNQ, Deansgate Square. Where sedation or general anaesthetic is planned, surgery takes place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre and you will meet the anaesthetist as well as the nursing team. Mr Nassab will review the plan and mark your face before the operation. Most patients go home the same day with a supportive dressing, although an overnight stay may be advised. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you that first night.
Follow-up appointments in Manchester
Aftercare is arranged locally. A wound check and stitch removal usually take place within the first ten days, followed by review appointments over the next few months to monitor swelling, sensation and scar maturation. You will have contact details for the team at all times, including out of hours, so any concern can be assessed quickly by people who know your operation. A rapidly swelling side of the face should be reported to the surgical team urgently.
Travelling from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients come from across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Yorkshire and the wider North West. Because a mini facelift involves several appointments, including early wound checks, it helps to plan how you will travel to Manchester in the first fortnight, when you should not drive yourself. Patients travelling a longer distance may choose to stay nearby for the first night. Your follow-up schedule will be discussed at consultation so it fits around your commitments.
Recovery and results
Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first week, and many people feel ready to be seen socially after about two weeks. Numbness around the ears is common and improves gradually. The final result is usually assessed at around three months, while the scars continue to fade for 12 months or more. Results soften over time because the face keeps ageing, but the improvement in the jawline can remain noticeable for years. Protecting your skin from the sun, not smoking and keeping a stable weight all help the result age well.
Cost and next steps
A mini facelift costs from £8,000 under local anaesthetic or from £9,500 under general anaesthetic, and the £150 consultation is charged separately. See the mini facelift cost guide for what is included. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance; Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Surgery is for adults aged 18 and over.
