Facial Asymmetry Treatment: Get Clear Results with a Mini Lift

Hello, this is Lee Seong-jun, the chief director of Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic Seoul.

As we age, the traces of time that appear on the face are a natural result of aging, but at the same time, for some people, they become a significant source of stress or a complex they want to hide.

Especially as the average life expectancy has increased, entering what is often called the "100-year era," we are living in a slightly different time than before, and as a result, it is true that more people are actively responding to aging.

Among the things many people are interested in is firm skin and the related facial asymmetry treatment.

Today, I will provide detailed tips on this topic.

Face Aging and Lifting

First, it is necessary to look specifically at the aging process that occurs on the face.

As you know, aging involves not only the overall decline of bodily functions but also a decrease in muscle mass, and this naturally appears on the face as well.

In other words, as the elasticity of the skin and muscles that maintained facial firmness decreases, sagging skin and wrinkles occur.

One of the most effective ways to address this is lifting.

Lifting is one of the methods that shows excellent results in restoring firmness by pulling up wrinkled and sagging skin.

Types of Lifting

Lifting began in the past with a method called thread lifting, and today its types and methods have become very diverse and specialized.

Among them, one of the methods that can deliver the strongest effect is facelift surgery. This method restores a firm facial line and skin by making incisions along the sagging facial contour, then pulling the skin upward tightly and securing it in place.

Since it is based on incisions, it can certainly produce the most dramatic results, but the burden of surgery itself cannot be ignored.

As an alternative facial asymmetry treatment that can complement this, there is procedure-based lifting.

Because this is a procedure performed without incisions, the physical burden is relatively low. However, its effect does not reach that of facelift surgery, so it is preferred in cases where skin sagging is relatively mild.

What Is a Mini Lift?

A mini lift is a facial asymmetry treatment method that combines only the advantages of facelift surgery and procedure-based lifting.

In other words, it can be considered a surgical method suitable for people who feel that facelift surgery is too burdensome mentally and physically, but who want a greater effect than a standard lifting procedure.

A mini lift is performed by making an incision of about 2 cm on the inner side of the sideburn area of the scalp, then pulling up and securing the sagging jawline.

Because the incision range is small, the overall burden, including swelling and pain, can also be reduced.

What Are the Advantages of a Mini Lift?

The biggest advantage of a mini lift comes from its small incision range.

Since it is performed as a localized procedure, the actual surgery time itself is very short, and the fact that you can return to daily life quickly is also a major advantage.

Also, because the incision is made in the sideburn area, the scar is not easily noticeable later, and above all, since there are no visible traces on the face, a natural result can be expected.

That said, its effect is by no means insignificant. Rather, by directly pulling up the jawline in the direction of the incision,

it can be said to be an effective facial asymmetry treatment that helps refine the overall facial line while also improving firmness.

How Should It Be Managed?

Even though this is a local incision, it is still surgery involving an incision, so after a mini lift, it is important to carefully manage the area to prevent inflammation.

To this end, alcohol must be avoided, and for a while it is also good to refrain from exercises that generate excessive heat or sweating.

In addition, until the surgical site is properly closed and settles in place, ongoing care at the hospital where the surgery or procedure was performed is very important.

Therefore, when choosing a hospital for facial asymmetry treatment, I recommend carefully checking how closely and systematically they provide care throughout the entire process.
