What Is Mini Facelift Surgery?

A Mini Facelift is a facial lifting procedure that uses smaller incisions and a less extensive surgical approach compared to a traditional facelift. It focuses on improving early signs of aging by tightening and repositioning facial tissues, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. The ideal approach depends on the degree of skin laxity, facial structure, and desired level of improvement.

Achieving Subtle Facial Lifting and Natural Rejuvenation at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

Early signs of facial aging, such as mild sagging, reduced jawline definition, and loss of skin firmness, can affect the overall appearance of the face. Mini Facelift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to improve mild to moderate skin laxity and restore smoother facial contours with a shorter recovery period compared to a traditional facelift.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each mini facelift procedure is customized according to facial structure, skin elasticity, aging concerns, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on creating subtle, natural-looking lifting results that enhance facial harmony while preserving each patient's unique appearance for both local and international patients.

How it works

How Is Mini Facelift Surgery Performed?

During Mini Facelift surgery, smaller incisions are typically placed around the ear area to minimize visible scarring. The surgeon tightens and repositions underlying facial tissues while removing or adjusting excess skin when necessary.

The surgical plan is customized to achieve balanced improvement without an overly tightened appearance.

  1. Lifting loose facial tissues
  2. Improving cheek and jawline contours
  3. Tightening mild skin laxity
  4. Refining lower face definition
  5. Creating a smoother facial appearance
