The most attention-grabbing method in recent facelift surgery is the Deep Plane facelift.

It is not simply a technique that pulls only the skin, but a method that moves the skin and the SMAS layer together.

✔ Natural results

✔ Long-lasting effects

✔ Fast recovery

Because of these advantages, it continues to be chosen consistently.

A procedure that combines the advantages of a mini facelift (small incision) with this Deep Plane approach is the Deep Mini Facelift. And taking it one step further, the procedure that makes the incision almost invisible is the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift.

  • Growing demand for minimally incisional lifting -

Recently, especially among people in their 30s and 40s,

  • “A surgery that looks too obvious is 부담스럽고”

  • “But I still want a definite lifting effect”

this demand has been increasing.

Reflecting these needs, the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift

✔ Shortens the incision further ✔ Designs the incision placement to be as hidden as possible

while still

👉 preserving the core effects of Deep Plane surgery.

  • Surgical method of the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift -

The Hidden Deep Mini Facelift is not simply about making surgery “smaller” with a minimal incision. 👉 It is about performing deep surgery through a small incision.

✔ Applied using the Deep Plane technique of facelift surgery

  • Moves the skin and SMAS together

  • A natural lift rather than an artificial pulling effect

✔ Thorough release of retaining ligaments

  • Carefully releases the areas essential for tissue movement, such as the zygomatic retaining ligament and masseteric retaining ligament
  • The key to improving nasolabial folds

✔ Sufficient release into the midface

  • Expands the dissection area to near the nasolabial folds, improving them through lifting of the malar fat pad
  • 👉 Secures a midface lifting effect as well

In the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift, because the incision is small, an endoscope is used for precise and extensive dissection.

Through the endoscopic view captured during surgery, the zygomatic retaining ligament can be directly identified.

The zygomatic retaining ligament is a structure that firmly anchors the midface tissue.

If this ligament is not sufficiently released,

❌ Improvement of nasolabial folds may be limited ❌ The lifting effect may fade quickly.

As shown on the endoscope, this structure is deep and firm and extends to the front of the midface, 👉 so accurate anatomical understanding and a delicate approach are essential.

Before surgery, the patient was concerned about midface sagging and the nasolabial folds gradually becoming deeper.

After the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift, the nasolabial folds improved and the midface was lifted.

As a result, the change in appearance was natural and soft.

👉 Rather than looking like “surgery,” 👉 it is a case that changed to a “younger-looking impression.”

  • Incision site and scar of the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift -

Another advantage of the Hidden Deep Mini Facelift is

👉 the nearly invisible incision line.

  • Incision location: the natural border inside the scalp and around the ear
  • Incision length: shorter than a conventional mini facelift

✔ 1 month after surgery

  • Slight redness (early stage of scar formation)
  • No distortion of the ear shape
  • Incision line is almost impossible to identify

👉 As time passes and the scar matures, 👉 it fades even more naturally.
