Mini Facelift Before It Becomes Noticeably Saggy

Regardless of age or gender, interest in appearance is increasing.

As a result, people across various age groups are trying to make their appearance a little more upgraded than it is now, or to improve areas they have been concerned about. Depending on age, the image people want and the procedures they consider can also differ.

In relatively younger age groups, people may consider eye surgery or nose surgery for more glamorous and defined facial features, and may also consider bone-cutting procedures such as facial contouring or double-jaw surgery for a smaller and more attractive face line.

On the other hand, for those who are worried about wrinkles and sagging skin due to aging, or for those whose skin sags and stretches due to genetic factors, habitual facial expressions, or other external factors, various lifting procedures such as thread lifting, mini facelift, and facelift are often considered.

In particular, since lifting procedures are preferred by people across a wide range of ages, there are many different methods and materials involved.

If you are worried about gradually losing skin elasticity over time and developing wrinkles all over the face, a mini facelift may be recommended.

A mini facelift can help with sagging skin, loose skin, and facial wrinkles by lifting the SMAS layer, which is the underlying layer that causes skin sagging. In addition, unlike a full facelift, a mini facelift makes a minimal skin incision and uses Elasticon elastic bands to lift the SMAS layer, helping maintain skin elasticity. When Elasticon is inserted into the face and jawline, it combines with the existing tissue and acts like an artificial ligament, helping increase satisfaction with the results through long-lasting effects and natural movement.

Most people may feel somewhat burdened when they hear the term lifting surgery because they imagine a wide incision area, but a mini facelift can help improve sagging skin and wrinkles in various areas of the face with only a minimal incision. However, unlike a facelift, which is performed with a wide range of dissection and incisions, a mini facelift may be recommended for those who are concerned about specific areas rather than wanting an overall lifting effect for the entire face.

If you are having difficulty choosing which lifting option is appropriate for your current skin condition and which procedure is suitable, we hope you will visit a lifting-specialized clinic and receive a more detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

At the Sinsa Station mini facelift clinic, it may be recommended for those concerned about nasolabial folds, sagging corners of the mouth, loose cheeks, and sagging jawline fat. Even after some time has passed after Elasticon elastic threads are inserted into the body, they maintain tension elastically without cutting through the tissue. In addition, the polyester surrounding the elastic material is filled with connective cells, allowing for a more stable lifting result.

Each Elasticon inserted into the body has a soft elasticity similar to subcutaneous fat tissue and forms a hooked ligament-like structure.

At the Sinsa Station mini facelift clinic, the advantages are dissection know-how, minimal scarring, and a quick return to daily life. Even with minimal incisions, dissection of a wide SMAS area is possible, helping improve various signs of sagging skin and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, cheek fat, and jawline fat, and the incision is minimized inside the scalp, so scar exposure is reduced.

Because the procedure time is short and the incisions are minimal, bruising and swelling are reduced, allowing for a quicker recovery. By applying swelling laser treatment and various recovery management systems, we help patients recover more quickly.

The important point in lifting is to evenly dissect the skin and SMAS layer and determine the direction of traction. Therefore, if you are considering a lifting procedure, you need one-on-one customized consultation and evaluation from medical staff with extensive experience and know-how in lifting procedures.
