About Mini Lift

Mini Lift for those in their 20s–30s who lost elasticity after contouring surgery
and those in their 40s–50s concerned about age-related sagging

The retaining ligaments, SMAS layer, epidermis, and dermis are all lifted together for powerful results from deep within the skin.
Subcutaneous fat is beautifully repositioned for a smooth facial contour, while hairline incisions minimize scar concerns.

POINT 01

Minimizing scar concerns
while effectively removing excess skin

A small incision of approximately 2 cm behind the ear reduces scar burden while delivering definitive improvement and fast recovery.

POINT 02

Targeting the exact area of concern
for immediate V-line effect

Improves the collapsed jawline, deep cheeks, sagging cheek fat, double chin, and a V-line that has lost its firmness for satisfying contour improvement.

POINT 03

Analyzing individual degrees of sagging
for effective and reliable improvement

Precise dissection of the fascial layer and retaining ligaments enables effective and reliable results.

Why Pleasure Mini Lift

Why Mini Lift at
Pleasure Plastic Surgery

We create long-lasting lifting through natural adhesion and fixation from deep within the SMAS layer.

Minimal hairline incision — minimal scar concerns

Hairline incision for
minimized scar concerns

Incisions follow natural creases around the ear,
keeping scars discreet.

Attentive post-op care shortens recovery
and helps you return to daily life quickly.

Natural adhesion from deep within the skin and firm internal fixation ensures long-lasting, natural lifting results.

Long-lasting results with 4-layer fixation including retaining ligaments and SMAS

Simultaneously lifting all 4 layers —
retaining ligaments, SMAS, and more

All four layers — retaining ligaments, SMAS, epidermis, and dermis — are simultaneously and directly lifted with strong force, delivering satisfying results through natural adhesion.

We analyze each patient's area of concern and degree of sagging to design the optimal lifting direction and tension.

Precise dissection of the fascial layer and retaining ligaments ensures reliable and highly satisfying surgical outcomes.

Mini Lift is a lifting procedure that achieves maximum results through minimal incision.

Surgery Process

Mini Lift Process

All four layers — retaining ligaments, SMAS, epidermis, and dermis — are firmly lifted from deep within the skin,
resulting in natural adhesion, long-lasting results, and virtually no visible scarring.

STEP 01

Hairline Incision

Mini Lift procedure step

The degree of sagging is assessed for each patient, and a straight incision of approximately 2–3 cm is made within the hairline.

STEP 02

SMAS Lifting

Mini Lift procedure step

The retaining ligaments holding the skin are released and vertically dissected; the retaining ligaments, SMAS, epidermis, and dermis are then lifted together.

STEP 03

Tissue Removal

Mini Lift procedure step

After securing the elevated tissue, excess skin is removed.

STEP 04

Final Closure

Mini Lift procedure step

The procedure concludes with meticulous suturing to minimize scarring.

Why Pleasure

Why Mini Lift at
Pleasure Plastic Surgery?

Mini Lift is not simply about cutting skin.
Natural adhesion fixation lifts discreetly and naturally,
pulling from deep within the SMAS layer through 4 layers for long-lasting results.

01

Undetectable lifting through natural adhesion fixation

Vertical lifting inward within the skin creates a slimmer, more defined face without looking widened.

02

Minimal hairline incision with minimal scar concerns

A 2–3 cm minimal incision along the hairline naturally conceals the scar within the hairline, making it virtually undetectable.

03

Fast Recovery and Return to Daily Life

The shorter operative time and minimal incision reduce swelling, enabling a quick return to daily life.

04

4-layer fixation including the SMAS layer, the root cause of sagging

All tissue layers from the deepest fascial layer (SMAS) — the primary cause of sagging and wrinkles — to the outer skin are simultaneously lifted with direct, firm force, and the retaining ligaments are precisely dissected for satisfying lifting results.

05

Customized Mini Lift tailored to your area of concern

The most appropriate type among vertical, jawline, and double-chin Mini Lift is selected based on your area of concern.

FAQ

Before Mini Lift Surgery —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the difference between Mini Lift and Facelift (BASIC/MAX)?
Mini Lift uses a 2–3 cm minimal incision along the hairline to lift up to the SMAS layer, with the advantages of fast recovery and minimal scarring. Facelift (BASIC/MAX) uses a wider incision to fundamentally correct severe sagging and deep wrinkles. The appropriate surgery is chosen based on the degree of sagging.
Q Will scars be noticeable after surgery?
Incisions follow the inner hairline so scars are naturally concealed within the hairline. Some redness may appear initially but fades over time; meticulous suturing minimizes scarring.
Q How long is the recovery period after surgery?
Surgery takes approximately 1–1.5 hours under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Suture removal is after 1 week and 1 follow-up visit is required. Swelling subsides within 1–2 weeks, and final results are visible in about 1–3 months.
Q How long do Mini Lift results last?
Natural adhesion from deep within the SMAS layer ensures stable, long-lasting results. Effects generally last 5–7 years or more; while aging continues afterward, you will maintain a significantly younger, firmer appearance than if no surgery had been performed.
