MINI LIFT

Look at the necessary range
I plan a natural outline.

Check the sagging of the cheeks, mouth, and jawline, and examine the inner structure of the skin together.

ABOUT

Not only the surface of the skin
Let's look at the inner support layer together.

The mini facelift focuses on the necessary areas such as the cheeks, mouth, and jawline that have started to sag.
It is a surgery that approaches a limited range around the ear.

Instead of pulling only the outer skin
It is explained in the direction of pulling and fixing the SMAS layer and ligament structure inside the skin together.

The scope of sagging, the desired change, and the burden of surgery
Let's look at it together and distinguish the method.

  • When the skin sagging of the cheeks, mouth, and jawline begins
  • If the double chin is prominent due to the drooping of the deep cheek fat and chin line
  • If you want to change the necessary parts rather than the whole face
  • If a wide range of general corpital surgery is burdensome

BEFORE SURGERY

Just because the incision is small
I don't decide the method

The depth and range of sagging,
Check the condition of the skin and the supporting layer together.

  • Mini facelift has a different range from surgery that widely corrects the entire face and neck.
  • If the sagging is severe and extensive, we should look at the difference from the general sagging surgery.
  • You may need to take care of the incision around the ear and swelling, bruise, and recovery after surgery.

※ The scope of the incision and the method of application may vary depending on the surgical method.
