Mini Facelift in Korea

01 — Overview

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift uses shorter incisions to lift early jowl and jawline sagging — a less invasive option with shorter downtime than a full facelift.

For moderate sagging or younger patients, a mini facelift tightens the lower face and jawline through shorter incisions, often with SMAS support for a lasting result. It bridges the gap between non-surgical lifting and a full facelift, with quicker recovery.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The right approach depends on your structure and goals. At consultation, the surgeon determines which fits your case.

Short-Scar Technique — Incisions are shorter and well-concealed around the ear.
SMAS Support — The deeper layer is supported for a result that lasts, not just skin tightening.
Targeted Lift — Focused on the lower face and jawline where early sagging shows.
With Energy Lifting — Paired with HIFU or RF for skin quality where helpful.
