Why Is This Place Known for Mini Facelift Procedures? Here’s the Reason

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, the lead director of the Seoul branch of Reating Plastic Surgery.

If you are worried about facial sagging, most people already know that a face lift can bring dramatic changes.

No matter how carefully you have taken care of your skin, time keeps passing, so there comes a point when more active help is needed.

If you have not been able to do much maintenance and suddenly find sagging, wrinkled skin in the mirror, this kind of help may be even more necessary.

However, because it is a powerful procedure, many people are also concerned about incision marks and swelling.

Today, I will introduce a place known for doing mini facelifts well, which can help reduce these concerns.

What is mini lifting?

A mini facelift is a lift that slightly compromises on strength by minimizing incisions as much as possible to reduce the burden caused by a traditional face lift.

Unlike a face lift, it is performed in a way that suits each person’s concerns, so it can be said to be a highly efficient method relative to the incision required.

Moreover, one of its advantages is that it can deliver even better results when skin sagging is not severe.

That is also why it is recommended for people in their 20s or 30s who are still young but are concerned about facial sagging.

Because it can produce more dramatic before-and-after results than thread lifting or laser procedures, satisfaction is high.

Types of mini lifting

The reason our clinic is known as a place that does mini facelifts well is that this method is our signature and a long-time favorite.

Another characteristic of our clinic is that there are more than five types, including Smile Mini Lifting, Quick Mini Lifting, and Mini V Lifting, depending on the direction of pulling and the concept.

Simply put, they can be classified by making the incision slightly larger, slightly smaller, or even smaller.

While they all aim to achieve high efficiency with a small incision whenever possible, different methods are applied depending on the individual’s condition and situation.

At our clinic, after a thorough diagnosis, we find the appropriate method based on how much the skin has sagged.

What is Smile Mini Lifting?

Smile Mini Lifting is a type of mini facelift applied to people concerned about nasolabial folds or the cheekbone area.

By making an incision inside the scalp, it reduces the incision as much as possible while also lifting the face overall to ease those concerns.

Although it cannot lift as much as a full face lift, it is an efficient option when skin sagging has not progressed severely.

For stronger results, it can also be combined with thread lifting and lasers to create additional synergy.

If you use mini lifting as the main procedure, then have thread lifting performed and follow up with periodic laser care, you can maintain a high level of satisfaction over the long term.

How is mini lifting performed?

It is no exaggeration to say that both the physical and psychological burden of a face lift stem from the extent of the incision.

In the case of a mini facelift, the incision is reduced to lower the burden and, to reduce concern about scarring, the incision is made inside the scalp.

A small incision is made inside the scalp near the sideburn area, the sagging jawline is lifted upward and secured, and then the procedure is finished by suturing.

However, the method and incision range vary depending on the degree of skin sagging and wrinkles, so the details may differ.

You can receive guidance on the individual incision line design and procedure after an examination by the medical staff.

How long does it take, and what about swelling?

A face lift usually takes about two to three hours and requires about a week before returning to daily life.

In contrast, mini lifting is characterized by a much shorter procedure time, usually within about one hour, because the incision is smaller.

The results can also be seen more quickly than with a face lift, and returning to daily life does not take long.

Swelling after the procedure is also less, so we typically describe it as about the same level as ordinary thread lifting swelling.

For people who are considering a face lift but are concerned about the time required or swelling, mini lifting can be an efficient alternative.

A place that provides systematic care

Because the incision is made inside the scalp, some people worry that hair loss symptoms may appear in the affected area.

As a place known for doing mini facelifts well, our clinic also provides careful management in this regard.

If hair loss symptoms appear, we help patients return to their original condition more quickly through recovery injections.

In addition, we use HILITE laser to reduce swelling and pain in the incision area.

Since many people want results in a shorter amount of time, we also make multifaceted efforts in aftercare to increase satisfaction.

A place that finds the right method for each person

Because there are so many types of lifting, and each has different levels of results, swelling, and pain, it is important to find the method that suits you best.

Our clinic is known for doing mini facelifts well, but it is not just a place that does mini lifting well; what I want to say is that it can make mini lifting even better.

That is because we examine each person’s degree of skin sagging, age, lifestyle, and other conditions and apply the method that fits them, making the results more satisfying.

Having focused on lifting and treated many cases, our biggest goal is to find the most suitable method for each person based on that experience.

We carefully listen to any concerns about skin sagging, so please come visit us with an open mind and share your concerns with us.
