Less incision burden, natural lifting:
mid-to-lower face lifting that corrects down to the SMAS layer
Mini Lift
Smaller incisions,
deeper effects
Small, precise incisions deliver firm lifting with less scarring.
More effective lifting through
SMAS and retaining ligament dissection
Dissection of the SMAS layer and retaining ligaments effectively repositions sagging tissue
for a more powerful and natural lifting effect.
3D lifting tailored
to each layer's structure
The SMAS layer is pulled vertically and the skin diagonally,
for lifting that considers the characteristics of each skin layer.
Stable lifting with dissection
down to the retaining ligaments
The retaining ligaments are dissected so the sagging tissue can be moved sufficiently, then fixed in the proper position.
Lifting from the deep layers rather than the skin surface creates a more natural, smoother line.
Facelift VS Mini Lift VS Minimal-Incision Mini Lift
Skin elasticity that keeps declining — solve it with a Mini Lift
Mini Lift
Moderate Customized Lifting Focused on the Mid-to-Lower Face
When improvement of the mid-to-lower face, centered on the cheeks, mouth area and jawline, is needed,
lifting that partially pulls the SMAS layer can deliver a more natural anti-aging effect with faster recovery.
Quick Return to Daily Life with Customized Tiny Incisions
Tiny incisions inside the hairline or in front of the ear / below the earlobe reduce the burden of scarring, swelling and pain,
and delicate suturing helps create a natural, unnoticeable change.
minimizes scarring, swelling and pain
with careful suturing for inconspicuous scars
Lifting from the fascia layer, the core of aging
The retaining ligaments supporting the fascia layer must be precisely dissected for the lifting force to be effectively transmitted to the entire skin.
For reliable results, retaining ligament dissection must be performed together.
Semi-Permanent Lifting Effect That Reaches the SMAS Layer
The SMAS layer and skin are pulled vertically and diagonally according to the direction of wrinkles,
and precisely fixed for a long-lasting lifting effect.
Mini Lift Surgical Method
Through small incisions and dissection, the skin and SMAS layer are pulled together to improve sagging and create a natural change in contour.
Minimal Incision and Subcutaneous Dissection
A minimal incision is made inside the hairline or
in front of the ear / below the earlobe.
Retaining Ligament and SMAS Dissection
The skin and fascia (SMAS)
are sufficiently dissected.
Lifting and Retaining Ligament Re-fixation
The sagging fascia (SMAS) layer is lifted vertically,
and the skin is pulled diagonally.
Delicate Suturing
Excess skin remaining after lifting is removed
and multi-layer sutures are placed without deforming the ear.
*Complications such as infection and inflammation may occur after surgery,
and satisfaction varies from person to person.

Mini Lift FAQ
-
They differ in incision site and dissection range. If you want a powerful lifting effect,
we recommend a facelift; for relatively younger people concerned about skin sagging after contouring surgery,
we recommend a Mini Lift or Minimal-Incision Mini Lift. -
The incision is designed as a small cut in front of the ear or below the earlobe,
and is delicately sutured so the scar is barely noticeable. -
A mini lift is possible even if you have had a thread lift.
If threads still remain under the skin, they are removed during surgery.
-
A facelift is the most effective way to improve marionette lines.
As sagging under the jaw improves, marionette lines also improve. -
At SINSANG Plastic Surgery, we recommend wearing a drain after a mini lift.
This is to prevent complications caused by heavy bleeding and hematoma after surgery,
and it needs to be worn for about 1–4 days depending on the amount of bleeding. -
Because the surgery pulls the SMAS layer, the tissue surrounding the facial expression muscles,
some temporary discomfort in facial movement may occur. Your expressions may feel awkward for about 1–2 months,
but after 3–4 months they gradually soften and become natural.
