Minimal Incision Mini Facelift
A partial-incision facelift performed through a small incision of approximately 2 cm.
By minimizing the incision compared to a conventional facelift, it reduces the recovery burden while providing a natural lifting effect.
Each surgery is customized based on the individual’s skin condition and degree of sagging.
What is Minimal Incision Lifting at NANA Plastic Surgery?
Through a small incision of approximately 2 cm hidden within the hairline, sagging skin is lifted, excess skin is removed, and the incision is carefully closed. Because the procedure does not require extensive dissection and can be performed relatively quickly and simply, it helps reduce the downtime and concerns about scarring associated with a conventional facelift.
It may be suitable for those who were not satisfied with the results of procedures such as thread lifting. In addition to the lifting effect, it can also help improve the appearance of wrinkles, skin elasticity, and overall skin condition.
Why choose NANA Plastic Surgery for lifting
Lifting procedures require fundamentally different planning depending on the patient’s age and concerns. Patients in their 20s and 30s may be concerned about loss of elasticity or cheek sagging after facial contouring surgery, while patients in their 40s and 50s may be more concerned about wrinkles and sagging caused by natural aging.
With more than 10 years of experience and hundreds of lifting surgeries and procedures performed, NANA Plastic Surgery’s medical team applies specialized lifting expertise to achieve satisfying results while maintaining natural facial movement.
