Face Procedures
Mini-Facelift
Meaningful facial rejuvenation — performed under local anesthesia
Overview
A Targeted Lift Without General Anesthesia
Dr. Win Pound's mini-facelift — known as the "LunchLift" by patients — is a focused surgical procedure that addresses early jowling, mild neck laxity, and sagging along the lower face — all performed under local anesthesia. By avoiding general anesthesia entirely, patients benefit from reduced risk, a more comfortable experience, and a faster recovery. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance that looks like you, only more rested and defined.
Benefits
The Procedure
What to Expect
The mini-facelift is performed in-office under local anesthesia, typically taking 1.5–2 hours. Small incisions are placed along the natural contours of the ear and hairline, allowing Dr. Pound to lift and reposition the underlying tissues of the lower face and neck. Because general anesthesia is not used, patients are comfortable throughout and recover more quickly — most return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. The procedure is particularly well-suited for patients in their 40s and 50s who are beginning to notice the early signs of facial aging and want to address them before they become more pronounced.

Candidacy
Is a Mini-Facelift Right for You?
Ideal candidates are men and women in good general health who are bothered by early jowling, mild lower-face sagging, or a softening jawline — but who are not yet ready for or in need of a full facelift. Patients who prefer to avoid general anesthesia, or who want a shorter recovery, are excellent candidates. A personal consultation with Dr. Pound will determine whether a mini-facelift or full facelift is the right approach for your anatomy and goals.
