Changing Facial Contours Every Season? Finding Balance with the Mini Lifting Duration and the Approach of a Plastic Surgery Clinic in Nonhyeon-dong

Hello.

I’m Director Lee Seong-jun of the Seoul branch of Reting Plastic Surgery.

When the seasons change, there comes a moment

when the face in the mirror suddenly looks saggy,

and you find yourself thinking,

‘Why does it look so different from usual?’

Because dry air

and seasonal factors with sharp temperature changes

directly affect the skin.

In particular, as moisture evaporates quickly,

skin elasticity decreases,

and fine lines often become more noticeable.

These changes are not simply due

to dryness alone.

As we age, the collagen

and elastic fibers in the skin gradually decrease,

and as the force supporting the skin weakens,

these changes can appear in combination.

So when the season changes,

more people start thinking,

“Skin care is needed.”

At this time, one of the methods

people naturally become interested in

is lifting.

Lifting is an approach used

to ease sagging skin

and reduced elasticity,

and there are many different types and methods.

Among them, today I’ll talk specifically about

the difference between thread lifting and mini lifting,

and

the mini lifting duration.

1. Thread lifting and mini lifting—how are they different?

There are many lifting methods,

but relatively less burdensome options include

thread lifting and mini lifting.

Without an incision, special threads are inserted

into the dermis and fascia layer

to pull the skin upward

✔️ Thread lifting

Another method is one that uses

relatively small incisions

and helps improve

sagging skin and wrinkles.

✔️ Mini lifting

Thread lifting

is known as a method in which

medical threads are inserted under the skin

to pull the skin upward.

Although it has the feature of

not requiring an incision,

its degree of structural improvement

may be somewhat limited.

However,

because the recovery period is relatively short,

many people prefer it.

Therefore,

when sagging is not severe

or when it is considered for preventive purposes,

it can be seen as suitable.

On the other hand, mini lifting

is also called a “partial incision facelift,”

and unlike a traditional facelift,

which involves a wide incision range,

it is an approach that reduces the burden

by using a small incision area.

By directly pulling the skin layer

and the tissue beneath it,

it may allow for somewhat more anatomical change

than thread lifting,

but

this too may vary depending on

the individual’s skin condition and recovery process.

Because the two methods each have clear characteristics

and limitations,

rather than saying “which is better,”

you can choose by considering

your own skin condition, age, and lifestyle pattern.

2. Mini lifting duration—how long does it last?

Once you understand the characteristics of each,

it naturally leads to the question:

“Then how long does mini lifting last?”

In general, the mini lifting duration

starts to be felt as a tightening effect immediately after the procedure,

and over time the skin naturally goes through a settling process.

However, there is no fixed answer

for how long it lasts,

and it can vary greatly from person to person.

This is because various factors

such as skin thickness, elasticity, recovery ability, and lifestyle habits

work together.

In general, the improved firmness from mini lifting

tends to be maintained for a certain period,

but the duration varies widely,

so it is difficult to state it definitively.

However, consistent daily care

(such as skin moisturizing, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits)

can be helpful,

so the importance of lifestyle management is emphasized.

At medical institutions such as a plastic surgery clinic in Nonhyeon-dong,

individual skin condition

and lifestyle habits are considered together,

and guidance is provided to help inform the choice of lifting method.

In this way, through consultation with a medical professional,

it is important to obtain information that suits your own condition

and set a direction for care.

As such, mini lifting

can have different duration results depending on

the individual’s skin condition and care methods.

Recently, to maintain these effects for longer

and

naturally improve the impression after lifting,

more people are looking for customized lifting methods

such as “Smile Mini Lifting.”

3. Smile mini lifting, developed from mini lifting

Lifting methods

have continued to evolve.

Among them, one method drawing attention

is Smile Mini Lifting.

Smile Mini Lifting

is based on the principles of mini lifting,

while adjusting the incision direction and the direction of pull

and is a lifting method that considers

nasolabial folds, the cheekbone area, and the midface together.

A characteristic of Smile Mini Lifting is that

although the incision is relatively small,

it can still access the midface area.

Even in this process, individual differences are large,

and the same result does not appear for everyone.

However, if conventional mini lifting mainly focused on the lower area,

Smile Mini Lifting

can also take into account the nasolabial folds

and the area around the cheekbones that become noticeable when smiling.

In addition, when needed,

it is sometimes used together with other methods

such as thread lifting or laser lifting.

It is presented as an approach that combines the strengths of each

to improve various areas in a balanced way.

4. A customized approach you can check at a plastic surgery clinic in Nonhyeon-dong

Skin sagging and decreased elasticity

result from a combination of many factors,

such as an individual’s age, lifestyle habits, and skin characteristics.

Therefore, lifting methods are not something

that can be applied equally to everyone,

but must be considered according to the individual’s situation.

At medical institutions such as a plastic surgery clinic in Nonhyeon-dong,

comprehensive explanations are given about

the incision range, the direction of pull, and procedures that can be combined,

helping each person make decisions with understanding.

What matters in this process is

not to conclude that a specific method is “better,”

but to find the method that suits the individual.

Especially during seasons like the changing of the seasons,

when the skin becomes more sensitive,

various methods for improving skin elasticity may be discussed together.

Because each of thread lifting, mini lifting, and Smile Mini Lifting has different advantages and disadvantages,

through consultation with a medical professional,

it is necessary to accurately understand your own condition

and approach it with information first.

5. Finding the lifting method that suits your face

Lastly,

it is important to keep in mind that

the mini lifting duration

varies greatly from person to person,

and that lifestyle management can also have a direct effect

on how long it lasts.

It may also be helpful to check

the approach that suits you

through a medical institution such as a plastic surgery clinic in Nonhyeon-dong.

In the end, what matters is not having a fixed expectation

that sagging skin will be completely eliminated,

but rather the attitude of thinking about

how to maintain balance amid changing age and environment.

If you approach it based on information and understanding,

you will be able to find a choice that matches your own rhythm.

I hope you become more naturally youthful

than yesterday, and tomorrow more than today.
