Everyone experiences aging as time passes, and skin sagging and wrinkles develop. Mild signs of aging can begin in the 20s, and the pace speeds up in the 30s; by the 40s and 50s, deep wrinkles and sagging skin can become more serious.

As a result, among people in their 30s to 50s, interest in facial lifting procedures increases. Before undergoing a facelift, the concern is that while it can produce significant results, the incision area is relatively large and recovery time is needed, so plenty of time and rest are required. However, many people in their 30s, as well as those in their 40s and 50s, are active in society and engaged in economic activities, so due to lack of time and concerns about surgery, they often rely on procedures such as thread lifting or laser treatments.

But contrary to expectations, if the skin has already sagged significantly, procedure-based lifting alone may be difficult to improve.
For that reason, a surgery called "mini lifting" was created. Mini lifting is a type of "mini facelift," and it can effectively improve sagging in the mid-face area such as the forehead and cheekbones, while also helping the face appear smaller. Because it requires less skin incision than a traditional facelift, it reduces the burden related to bleeding, pain, and recovery time.

However, since mini lifting is also "mini" in terms of its effect, there may be disappointing results...ㅠㅠ To prevent that, Dr. Park Jae-hyun, the lifting specialist at #RibbonPlasticSurgery, said these issues can be improved with a three-step lifting approach!
-
The skin is lifted using a special thread with twice as many barbs.
-
Sagging at the outer corners of the eyes is improved through a micro-incision inside the scalp.
-
A micro-incision is made in front of the ear to remove tissue from the loosened SMAS layer, then it is fixed to the firm temporal fascia and the skin is pulled once more.

In any case, because our skin and aging condition differ from person to person, the degree of improvement also varies by mini lifting method. So it is recommended to receive a clear consultation from a medical professional and determine the right method and direction for improvement in order to achieve satisfactory results!
