What’s the key to a mini facelift? An active physician answers

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, Chief Director at Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic Seoul Branch.

As time passes, you can gradually feel your face changing.

In your early 20s, you may not have noticed skin sagging, fine lines, or deep nasolabial folds, but various changes appear due to aging.

The issue of reduced skin elasticity is not simply a problem on the surface of the skin; because sagging of the inner fascial layer is also involved, it is in fact difficult to improve with self-care alone.

That is why many people consider lifting procedures to become even a little younger.

Today, for those who are afraid to undergo a facelift but are not satisfied with procedures alone, I would like to explain Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic’s mini facelift.

What is a mini lift?

Many people already know that a facelift can help with concerns such as overall facial sagging and wrinkles.

This involves making an incision near the temple area along the ear line, and allows for strong lifting through dissection of the fascial layer and removal of retaining ligaments.

It is a method that can produce dramatic results, but because it is a major surgery, many people are likely to feel hesitant.

For those people, a mini lift may be suitable.

You can think of this method as Liting’s mini facelift, which combines the advantages of a facelift and the benefits of a lifting procedure.

Because the incision range is smaller, it reduces physical and psychological burden while still being excellent at improving concerns, which is why it brings satisfaction to many people.

What are the advantages?

A mini lift has various advantages.

First, the incision range is small.

Because only about 2 cm is incised, issues such as bleeding and swelling are reduced, and recovery proceeds faster as well.

Second, you can worry less about scars.

Since the incision is made near the sideburn area inside the scalp, concerns about visible scars can be reduced.

Third is efficiency.

It is less burdensome than a facelift, but more effective than a procedure and also lasts longer, so it can be an efficient choice.

Fourth is targeting by concern.

Because there are various mini lift methods, the area of concern can be targeted, allowing results that are closer to your needs.

Will it cause hair loss?

Among those undergoing a mini facelift, some also worry about hair loss.

Because the incision is made inside the scalp, there is a risk of slight hair loss.

However, there is no need to worry too much.

If hair loss symptoms are found, we provide treatment with Recovery injections.

Also, in cases with swelling or pain, we use Hillight laser to help relieve the symptoms.

Our clinic has a systematic system in place, from before surgery to aftercare, so you can put such concerns aside.

When is it a good time to get it?

A lift is suitable for people who have skin sagging problems.

Because there are many different types of procedures and surgeries, you can choose the appropriate type according to each person’s degree of sagging and needs.

In the case of surgeries such as a facelift, they are recommended for middle-aged and older adults with severe skin sagging and deep wrinkles, while a mini lift can be considered suitable for people in their 20s to 40s, when wrinkles and sagging begin to appear.

Although this is generally the recommendation, each person’s skin condition differs depending on living environment, genetic factors, and how well they have been cared for, so it is important to choose under a clear diagnosis.

These days, there are many cases of skin sagging even among younger people, and many have already undergone plastic surgery procedures such as contour surgery, so only after a medical professional examines you in person can the appropriate method be recommended.

So if you have any questions about lifting, I recommend visiting first and receiving a consultation.

Who is a mini lift recommended for?

Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic’s mini facelift comes in many types.

The first generation is a method that can improve skin sagging and wrinkles through a 2 cm incision inside the scalp along the hairline, and it is suitable for people who want improvement in specific areas such as nasolabial folds or the face line.

The second generation is a custom method, which can be applied to individual concern areas such as the upper face, midface, or lower face through an incision of around 0.5 cm.

Because the incision range is small, it is highly satisfying for those who want quick recovery, and it is recommended when you want to focus on managing the areas of concern.

In addition, there is also a method called the Smile Mini Lift.

This is applied to the midface area, such as the eye area, cheekbones, and nasolabial folds, through an incision near the sideburns.

Therefore, it is recommended for people who have major concerns in those areas, and it has the advantage of creating a brighter impression.

A place that continues to conduct endless research

What I have felt over the long years of working with lifting is that flexible thinking is necessary.

Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic continues to conduct ongoing research so that a single method can bring about various changes.

Not only that, but we combine threads and lasers to create even greater synergy.

Above all, I believe the most important thing is to age naturally.

As a clinic that focuses solely on lifting, we will provide the optimal design by considering each person’s image, skin characteristics, the extent of sagging, and the depth of wrinkles.

In line with our clinic’s belief, “Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!”, we will do our best to help you make a fresh start.

If you miss the vitality of your younger days, or if you are considering a mini facelift to boost your confidence, please feel free to visit us anytime.

Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
