Worried about the side effects of mini facelift lifting?
Pros and cons
explained by Balance Lab

Balance Lab is back to share important points about plastic surgery, as always!
Today, let’s take a detailed look at mini facelift lifting.
The face is the first part of the body that another person sees, and most people first look at the other person’s eyes, then decide their first impression based on the overall appearance of the face.
However, as 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years go by, the firm skin from the teenage years begins to sag, and because the face is one of the areas with relatively delicate skin, sagging appears there first. That is why many people feel stressed and look for ways to improve it.
Aging begins gradually in our 20s, and by our 30s elasticity starts to decline. If you can see the facial line becoming noticeably less defined as time passes!
A lifting procedure may be needed.
Plastic surgery broadly includes non-incisional methods such as lasers and thread lifting,
and incisional methods such as facelift surgery.
The mini facelift lifting introduced today is a surgical method that requires incisions, so Balance Lab wants to explain the pros, cons, and side effects in an easy-to-understand way.
If you are worried about mini lifting side effects,
understand the pros and cons.
Among facelift procedures that improve the face overall,
representative examples include a full facelift and a mini facelift.
Among them, mini facelift lifting has the advantage of requiring a smaller incision area than methods that pull up the entire face, which can reduce concerns about scarring. It can also help restore skin elasticity, improve facial definition, and allow for relatively quick recovery.
Therefore, it is often chosen by people who want a more youthful appearance and are sensitive about returning to daily life quickly.
In particular, when jawline sagging is not too severe and there is cheek sagging and nasolabial folds, it can be highly effective for improvement. At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, we also check each person’s current degree of sagging and skin elasticity before designing a lifting solution.
However, to avoid the side effects of mini facelift lifting, it has the drawback and characteristic that the scope of the expected effect must be accurately understood before proceeding.
Some people may want to improve only jawline sagging, cheek sagging, and nasolabial folds, but because aging does not progress at the same pace for everyone, if the sagging is more severe and there is also midface sagging, marionette lines, and significant loosening along the jawline, a full facelift approach may provide a more refined lifting result than a mini facelift.
A surgical method used everywhere? NO
A precise surgical method customized for each case? YES
Balance Lab Plastic Surgery provides professional support so that both mini facelifts and full facelifts can deliver proper results without side effects.
In particular, unlike a full facelift, which involves incisions along the hairline or within the scalp plus part of the area in front of the ear, the “clear mini lifting” procedure makes minimal incisions within the scalp so that scars are not visible. This is one of its main advantages.
The reason the incision range differs for each surgery is that the areas that need to be pulled are larger, which means that as aging progresses further, the range requiring incision may also become wider.
But! Another advantage of clear mini lifting is that even with such a minimal incision, the face is analyzed by dividing it into three major areas to lift the areas of concern.
Through a customized design suited to the different concerns and skin conditions of each area, it provides a highly focused lifting solution by dividing the face into the midface, which includes the area beside the eyes, the cheekbones, and the nasolabial folds; the lower face, where buccal fat can easily become prominent above the jawline; and the area where the double chin and jawline become less defined.
To reduce the side effects of mini facelift lifting, Balance Lab does not simply cut the skin and pull it. From design to dissection after the incision and lifting, everything is done with a personalized approach.

★Information★
Mini lifting involves incisions within 2 cm of the scalp, but the lifting design can cover the midface, lower face, double chin, and jawline.
The total procedure time is about 10 minutes, excluding the detailed consultation, and same-day washing is possible. This makes it suitable not only for people in their 20s and 30s who feel stressed because aging has arrived a little earlier and their facial line has changed, but also for people in their 40s and older who have just started to notice sagging after being told they look youthful.
Also, once the transparent incision is completed, it is necessary to carefully dissect the skin and fascial layer.
This is absolutely necessary for a clearer effect and better durability, so for facelift procedures it is better to receive treatment from a surgeon with extensive lifting experience.
For this reason, when you visit Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, after incision and dissection, tightening threads and lifting threads are used to create a lattice-like framework.
The lattice-like framework later transforms into collagen, so you can expect both lifting and improved facial definition.
Finally, after lifting with the lattice-like framework plate, the fascial layer and remaining skin are neatly removed, and the procedure is completed with triple suturing to reduce scarring.

Balance Lab Plastic Surgery’s plan
First, let’s take a closer look at the lattice-like framework introduced earlier.
The reason for creating a framework with tightening and thread-lifting threads is that it allows the fascial layer, which is the cause of aging, to be firmly fixed and then pulled together with the skin.
When performed this way, you can expect a strong lifting effect along with a natural line.
Also, as mentioned earlier, the lattice-like framework changes into collagen after surgery.
Collagen is one of the components that make up the human body and is directly related to the body’s volume.
At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, in this process, we also provide an anti-aging IV drip that helps deliver even more necessary nutrients into the body, filling the skin from within.
This is a customized IV rich in glutathione and vitamin C. By replenishing nutrients from within the skin before the lifting procedure, you can expect improved lifting results, longer-lasting effects, and a slowing of aging after surgery.

Both the face undergoing mini lifting and the body receiving the IV are custom-designed by specialists.
In particular, for plastic surgery, the “board-certified plastic surgeon,” with extensive lifting experience and know-how, is in charge, while the anti-aging IV is handled by an “internal medicine specialist” who can analyze various body types.
Therefore, the extent to which the face needs to be tightened can be adjusted so that sagging areas are improved naturally, and by replenishing the body’s lacking nutrients, it may be possible to maintain the results of mini facelift lifting for a long time without side effects.
Rain or shine,
a lifting-focused center
So! Today, among the various facelift procedures, we covered the pros and cons, the process, and the key points you must know to reduce the side effects of mini facelift lifting.
Balance Lab, located in Sinsa, operates a lifting-focused center so that facelift-centered treatment is possible.
That is why, in addition to clear mini lifting, you can also check solutions suited to each stage, such as Speed Mini Lifting, Balance Lifting, SMAS Lifting, Full Facelift, and Full Neck Lift.
As mentioned earlier when explaining the pros, cons, and side effects of facelift procedures today, the proper solution must be applied according to the current condition.
Because facelift surgery is a procedure that can deliver highly refined results only when done this way, be sure to closely consult with a specialist about how to replenish the nutrients lacking in a body that accelerates aging, and how to tighten skin that has already sagged and wrinkled, so that you can check the method you truly need to turn back the age of your face.
