[Eton TV] Mini Lift or Facelift: Which Surgery Is Right for Me?

'Mini lift' and 'facelift'

� Especially for people in their 30s through those over 50,

for those wondering which surgery is right for them,

let's look at the differences between the two.

The key point of a mini lift is that

the incision is 'mini.'

Basically, the incision is made inside the temporal area,

that is, in the temple area where it cannot be seen.

Because of that, there is a major advantage that

the surgery leaves almost no visible signs,

and the recovery period is relatively short.

Not leaving noticeable signs

ultimately means there is a limit to

how much loosened tissue can be removed.

It is similar to how, when mending clothes,

you cannot pull the entire garment through a very small hole

and sew it all back together.

If there is a lot of skin that needs to be pulled,

the incision also needs to be larger.

Mini lift is often sought mainly by

people in their 30s to early 40s,

and it is good when aging is not severe

and you want to naturally correct only the areas that are partially sagging.

But

a facelift is different.

If, when you pull the skin by hand,

there is too much skin left behind,

it is difficult to get enough effect with a mini lift.

A facelift may be necessary

regardless of age.

The key is

'how much the lower jawline has collapsed.'

If the jawline has sagged severely,

making the boundary between the neck and the face unclear,

and if a lot of skin remains behind when pulled,

a facelift will produce much better results.

The 기준 for choosing between a mini lift and a facelift

can ultimately be seen as

'the degree of sagging' and

'the scope of correction.'

The purpose of surgery is

to remove loosened tissue

and place it back where it belongs,

and the appropriate incision range

is determined by how much sagging there is.

Rather than thinking that 'mini' is always better,

the most important thing is to receive an accurate diagnosis of your current condition

and choose the surgery that matches it.
