Mini facelift or Facelift?
Surgery｜ Editor Nick｜ Posting update : 2021.10.16
The main difference between a facelift and a mini-facelift is in the incision that the plastic surgeon makes. Mini-Facelift is an effective surgical method to correct wrinkles in the mouth corner, saggy jawline as well as nasolabial folds. Since it does not remove wrinkles from the entire face, a small incision is made.
The doctor makes a 4~5 cm incision behind the ears inside the hairline. He or she removes saggy skin, pulls it, and removes the wrinkles. There are little swelling and the treatment period is shorter as well in comparison with the facelift.
A traditional facelift improves the wrinkles and saggy skin from the entire face. It involves a bigger incision than a mini-facelift to remove the wrinkles. The surgeon excises the skin, tightens the muscles, and fixes it into the ideal position for the sake of the best and long-lasting surgery result.
Whether you need to undergo a facelift or mini-facelift surgery must be decided by the plastic surgery. You must ensure that you have a consultation with a specialist before the surgery.
