Mini Facelift to Improve Loose Skin Elasticity

As the days and years go by, the skin gradually becomes looser and begins to sag.

It is not just the skin that droops; as each year passes and a person gets older, deep, pronounced wrinkles start to form across the face.

These changes in the skin are called aging.

The cause of skin aging is the decrease of collagen and elastin in the skin over time.

As the skin loses these elements, once-firm skin becomes thinner and starts to loosen and sag. To improve these symptoms, individuals may use anti-aging products and perform at-home care. However, while at-home care may be very effective if it could improve skin aging easily and quickly, it may be difficult to achieve satisfying results with home care alone.

If you do not see results from home care alone, it may be important to find the underlying cause of skin aging and consider a treatment method suited to it.

The general cause of skin aging can be found in the SMAS layer. When the SMAS layer supporting the skin fat above the muscles and the dermis collapses, the entire face can sag. Therefore, the SMAS layer also needs to be lifted in order to help improve loose and sagging skin.

Treatments that lift even the deep SMAS layer and help improve skin elasticity may include facelifts, mini facelifts, and mini lifting procedures.

Above all, for the most accurate diagnosis, it is important to choose the lifting treatment that is right for each individual through a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in lifting procedures.

If the concern is not wrinkles or sagging across the whole face, but rather localized wrinkles and sagging, or if you are in your 20s to early 40s and want to prevent or are worried about skin aging, a recommended lifting procedure is the mini facelift.

The mini facelift is a procedure that preserves the advantages of a facelift while reducing its drawbacks. It is characterized by reducing scarring and recovery time from incisions, while also pulling the SMAS layer to enhance the lifting effect, which is why many people consider the mini facelift.

At the mini facelift clinic near Sinsa Station, a tiny incision is made and ElastiQ or Elatence is used to pull the deep SMAS layer, helping maintain firm skin for a long time. By making a tiny incision inside the scalp, visible external scarring is reduced, and even with a small incision, the dissection is performed broadly to partially improve various areas such as sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, and a double chin.

The mini facelift has the advantage of a short procedure time and a small incision, so there is less bruising and swelling, allowing for faster recovery compared with other lifting surgeries. In addition, the mini facelift clinic applies swelling laser treatment and a variety of recovery management systems to help patients recover quickly.

For the mini facelift, 1:1 personalized consultation and customized treatment are the basic principles, and sufficient consultation time between the medical team and the patient is provided so that the patient’s skin condition can be examined and understood more closely, and the mini facelift design and plan are applied by taking the patient’s needs into comprehensive consideration.

It is important to perform even dissection of the skin and SMAS layer and determine the direction of the pull, so lifting is carried out in a direction suited to each individual to increase satisfaction.

The mini facelift is suitable for people who are worried about sagging after contour surgery, people whose skin has started to sag as they get older, people worried about sagging and loss of firmness in the cheeks, people who want a sharp jawline but find a full facelift burdensome, people who want a semi-permanent wrinkle-improvement effect, and people worried about partial skin sagging and looseness. If you want improvement through a lifting procedure, please visit a specialized lifting clinic and receive a more detailed consultation with the medical team.
