Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, the chief director at Liting Plastic Surgery Seoul Branch.
In today’s world, where self-care is essential, many people are challenging themselves with procedures and surgeries to maintain a youthful look.
In particular, a facelift can improve overall facial sagging, allowing you to feel a dramatic change.
However, because it is a major surgery, it can feel burdensome in psychological, physical, and financial terms, making it difficult to try casually.
Today, for those who are considering it, I’d like to explain Liting’s mini lifting.
I’ll cover what the procedure is like, how long recovery takes, and more in detail, so if you need information, please read through to the end.

What kind of procedure is it?
We have long researched ways to reduce the burden of a facelift, including swelling and cost, while also achieving long-lasting, powerful results.
As a result, we developed our signature procedure, mini lifting.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the culmination of Liting Plastic Surgery’s know-how.
This is a technique that pulls from deep within the skin, lifting both the outer skin and the inner fascia together for a more efficient lift.
Because it requires incisions, you may also be concerned about scarring.
However, since this procedure involves making an incision in the scalp above the sideburn area, which is difficult to see with the naked eye, concerns about scars can also be reduced.

When is the right time to have the procedure?
When people think of lifting surgery, there is a perception that it is only for older adults.
But that is not true.
Nowadays, many people undergo contouring procedures and experience skin or fascia sagging, and even at a young age, many people develop sagging due to lifestyle habits or skin type.
Because of this, it is difficult to determine the right timing based on age alone; it is preferable to make the decision after objectively analyzing the current condition.
So if you feel that your skin is sagging, we recommend first consulting with medical staff to learn about the types of procedures or surgeries you may need and the associated costs.

Customized lifting for each person
Liting’s mini lifting can be broadly divided into three types.
The first-generation version, which was developed first, involves making a small incision inside the scalp near the sideburn area and pulling up and securing the sagging jawline. It is suitable for sagging cheeks and jowls, wrinkles around the eyes, and nasolabial folds.
Later, we introduced custom lifting that can be performed according to each person’s needs.
By using dissolvable thread with an incision of about 0.5 cm for each area, it reduces concerns about scars and swelling, and it has the advantage of allowing focused lifting on the areas of concern.
Lastly, there is smile lifting.
This works by targeting the central part of the face, making it useful for improving fine wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, and sagging along the cheekbone line.
Having these various types means that you can choose according to your personal concerns, which I think is one of the major advantages of Liting Plastic Surgery.

Who is it suitable for?
This method is suitable for those who want to improve facial sagging but are concerned about scars, swelling, or mini lifting costs.
In particular, those who fall into the following categories may feel even greater satisfaction.
✅ I want a facelift, but I’m worried it will be too burdensome.
✅ My face keeps sagging more and more, so I need improvement.
✅ Only certain areas keep sagging and causing problems.
✅ Over time, I feel like I’m looking increasingly grumpy.
✅ As an office worker, I want to see quick results in a short time.
✅ I’m looking for a procedure with no scar concerns.

Recovery period and number of visits
Because mini lifting involves a smaller incision area, the recovery period is relatively short.
This varies depending on the type, but in general, you can think of it as around two weeks.
However, in the case of custom lifting, dissolvable thread is used, so there is no need to remove sutures, and washing your face, going to a spa, or swimming is possible from the same day.
The number of visits also varies depending on the method you choose.
If the incision is closed with sutures, you will visit the clinic the day after surgery for disinfection, and then once more on day 4 or 5.
After that, you can finish the process by coming in at the 2-week mark to have the stitches removed.
For follow-up care, you can come in at 1.5 months, 3 months, and 6 months. At those times, we check the scar and overall progress, and if needed, we provide treatments such as injections or lasers.

How long do the results last?
Because this method places less burden on the body and finances than a facelift, some people may question how long the results last or how effective it is.
While the method is relatively simple, it can still create dramatic changes because it lifts the inner fascia as well.
In addition, since unnecessary skin is removed, the effect on the excised skin can be considered permanent.
However, to maintain a tight result over a long period, it is helpful to continue managing it with regular procedures.
If you visit our clinic, we provide detailed guidance on these aspects as well, so there is no need to worry.

Why choose Liting Plastic Surgery?
There is a saying that lifting is Liting Plastic Surgery, and I think that comes from the know-how and skill accumulated over many years.
Because we have spent a long time focusing only on the field of lifting and continuously trying new approaches, we are able to produce stable results.
The abundant experience and expertise gained from the number of surgeries performed are, in my view, values unique to Liting and difficult for others to imitate.
Based on the data and skill built up over a long period, we consider each person’s degree of sagging, the speed of aging, the distribution of muscles, and more, and guide you only toward the most suitable method.
So if you are considering mini lifting costs, I hope you will take these points into account and enjoy youthful brightness once again.
Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
