For Those Who Didn’t Get the Mini Lift Effect They Hoped For, Please Read This

"Lately, I’ve gotten a lot more wrinkles on my face, and it’s sagging, so I look older. I feel like thread lifting might be lacking, so I’m thinking about getting a facelift. Will it be effective?"

"I had thread lifting before, but I didn’t really see much effect. So I’m thinking about getting a facelift, but it feels like a major surgery, so I’m hesitant. I heard there’s something called a mini facial lift. How effective is it?"

You may be looking into plastic surgery because you’re deeply concerned about skin sagging.

Of course, getting older and having skin sag are natural things everyone experiences in life, but no one welcomes them.

As aging begins, elasticity gradually decreases, and even the bones of the face itself can become smaller. But it is difficult to prevent the skin from sagging and drooping downward with home care alone.

Moreover, these days, with people living in what is often called a 100-year lifespan era, people stay socially active for longer, and the desire to look younger has grown accordingly.

So today, from Reborn Plastic Surgery, which has been performing anti-aging plastic surgery for over 20 years, we would like to share information that may help create a more positive image for you.

In particular, this will be very helpful for those who want detailed information about mini facelifts, so please read carefully մինչև the end.

What Is a Mini Facelift?

If you are considering a facelift, first take a close look at the causes of skin aging explained below.

As you know, our bodies are made up of bones and flesh.

The flesh surrounds the outside of the bones, and in some areas the bone and skin tissue are tightly attached, while in other areas they are relatively loose.

In particular, the front part of the face is loosely attached, which allows for a variety of facial expressions, but as a result, wrinkles form more easily and sagging can happen more quickly.

By contrast, areas around the hairline, especially the temples, are places where the bone and skin tissue are relatively firmly attached, so wrinkles and sagging are less common there.

Even if your skin was elastic when you were young, as you get older that space gradually loosens, causing the skin to sag in the direction of gravity, or for some areas to bulge while others sink in and create uneven contours.

This happens because the epidermis and dermis, which are the outermost layers of our body structure, age.

As components that make up skin tissue, such as collagen and elastin, gradually decrease, the skin loses elasticity, which can cause wrinkles and sagging.

But aging does not happen only in the skin.

The subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin also gradually decreases, causing the skin to hollow out, and the muscles also lose elasticity, making it harder to firmly support the skin.

At times like this, one option to consider is the facelift you are looking into.

Of course, there are also lifting procedures.

Lifting procedures can be divided into treatments that regenerate the skin’s components to improve the elasticity of the epidermis and dermis, and treatments that physically pull the skin.

At our clinic, we perform various methods such as laser lifting and thread lifting, but we do not recommend a specific procedure to patients.

Because the degree of sagging, treatment area, desired effect, skin type, and other factors differ from person to person, we apply the procedure that is suitable for each individual.

You may also have considered lifting methods using lasers or threads. Some of you may have already undergone such procedures and still not felt any noticeable effect.

Mini facelift is a method that many people choose because the incision is smaller and the procedure is simpler than a conventional facelift.

It offers better results than lifting procedures, while reducing the burden of a traditional facelift and allowing you to try anti-aging treatment.

At Reborn Plastic Surgery, we induce the effects of a mini facelift through a three-step temple lift.

If needed, thread lifting can also be performed at the same time, and I will explain this procedure in more detail below.

3-Step Temple Lift: What Are the Advantages?

At our clinic, we recommend the 3-step temple lift as a mini facelift.

Unlike a conventional facelift, this procedure makes a very small incision in the scalp near the temple, directly lifts the skin and muscle layers, and then closes the incision.

The reason for lifting the temple area is that, as mentioned earlier, it is an area where the skin tissue and bone are relatively firmly attached.

In particular, if necessary, thread can be inserted through the temple incision, allowing thread lifting to be performed at the same time.

In the case of conventional thread lifting, the insertion point for the thread is lower than the temple area, so there is a limit to how much sagging can be pulled up.

If pulled too much, it can also cause the cheekbones to appear more prominent.

However, when performing a 3-step temple lift and inserting threads near the temples, the insertion point becomes higher, which is advantageous for stronger lifting and can also help prevent the cheekbones from appearing more prominent in advance.

Today, we talked about the 3-step temple lift at Reborn Plastic Surgery. For those who are looking for a mini facelift, I believe it can help achieve positive results.

However, even if you visit us wanting surgery, you cannot necessarily undergo it unconditionally. This is because we determine whether it is an appropriate surgery after assessing each individual’s skin type, degree of sagging, and other conditions.

In addition to lifting methods, there are various anti-aging solutions, so after visiting the clinic, it may be a good idea to find out through a consultation which one is suitable for you.

If you contact us and visit the clinic, we will sincerely assist each and every person with consultation and treatment.

Thank you.
