Who needs mini contour lifting?
This procedure is recommended for individuals who wish to eliminate excess fat in the jawline or under the chin (double chin), uncovering hidden facial contours, and to improve wrinkles and sagging by supporting sagging skin tissue by thread lifting.
HERSHE performs this procedure using our specially developed Epiticon® , which provides strong support to the facial tissues.

Have excess fat on the cheeks

If you have a lot of fat on your cheeks, your face may appear bigger and wrinkles around your mouth may emphasize nasolabial folds or marionette lines.
Unclear jawline

If the line between the chin and neck is not clear, the neck may look short and the face may look longer.
Double chin (fat under chin)

When there is excessive fat under the chin, it can make the face appear larger but it is difficult to address through exercise or diet.

- The factors that determine the contour of the face
- Facial contours are not just determined by the facial skeleton but also by various elements such as fat layer, muscles, and other tissues that constitute the face.
  While the facial skeleton forms the shape of the face, the contour of the face visible to the outside is influenced by the layers of skin, fat, fascia, and muscle that cover above it.
  To achieve a distinct facial contour line, even a slight difference of a few millimeters can make a significant impact.
  With minimal incisions, it is possible to reposition the soft tissues that contribute to facial contours and remove unwanted tissue that will improve the facial contour line.

- Restoring your face shape naturally
- HERSHE Mini Contour Lifting is an effective procedure for restoring sagging jawlines caused by aging and for addressing facial tissue that has descended towards the jawline after previous facial contouring surgery.
  During facial contouring procedures, the supporting structures (ligaments) that hold the facial tissues in place may become separated, or the skin tissue may lose elasticity due to aging, causing the facial tissues to gradually accumulate and shift downwards.
  
  Through the lifting procedure, the sagging tissues can be lifted, and accumulated fat can be removed, resulting in improvement. Additionally, by redistributing the tissues to areas with diminished volume, such as the temples, a natural restoration of the facial shape can be achieved.

- 얼굴지방흡입과 리프팅의 시너지 효과
- HERSHE Mini Contour Lifting is a procedure that combines facial liposuction and thread lifting. By removing accumulated fat through facial liposuction and simultaneously lifting the surrounding tissues with thread lifting, the hidden contours of the jawline become more noticeable, and the boundary between the jaw and neck will become sharper.
  
  As the jawline becomes more defined, and the sagging volume moves upwards, it will not only achieve a V-line effect but also creates a smaller face due to the reduced thickness of the fat layer in the jawline and under the chin.
  
  The synergy between liposuction and lifting plays a significant role in supporting the skin tissue, as multiple threads help hold the skin tissues that may loosen due to liposuction. Moreover, the physical stimulation of surrounding tissues during the process of adipose tissue decomposition in the subcutaneous layer can promote cell regeneration and fibrous tissue regeneration that will prevent sagging and promote a lifting effect.

HERSHE Mini Contour Lifting
HERSHE Mini Contour Lifting is a comprehensive procedure that improves the jawline without the burden of surgery, swelling, or concerns about scarring.
It is a combination treatment that effectively removes excess facial fat while utilizing the excellent tension and fixation abilities of Epiticon® to pull and lift the surrounding tissues, creating a defined contour line.

A distinct contour line or V-line does not simply refer to a slim jawline.
To create such a result, it is important to have a three-dimensional understanding of the individual's facial structure and design the procedure accordingly.
HERSHE focuses on removing excess fat, repositioning and supporting the surrounding tissues to areas with insufficient volume, and designing the procedure to achieve a defined contour line and balanced the facial volume following each individual's facial shape.

Use a cannula to precisely proceed the facial liposuction according to the procedure design
Lifting and fixing the tissue around the jawline using the Epiticon®

Firmly secure facial tissue where you want it

- Epiticon® has a bi-directional nature, which allows it to not only lift and tighten facial or body tissues but also perform gathering procedures where volume is needed.
  After facial fat removal, the fat layer becomes thinner, causing the skin layer to sag and lose volume. In such cases, using Epiticon® , the skin tissues can be repositioned and gathered in the desired locations, preventing sagging and achieving volume redistribution simultaneously.

Differences in experience lead to differences in results.
Facial tissues have a complex structure composed of various types of tissues, making precise fat removal with cannulas is necessary to achieve the desired facial contour, such as the jawline. To prevent potential skin sagging and ensure the proper repositioning and fixation of skin tissues, including subcutaneous fat, specialized thread with suitable conditions is needed.
Therefore, a comprehensive understanding and proficiency in facial anatomy, facial fat removal, and lifting techniques are closely related to the outcome of the procedure.

HERSHE Mini Contour Lifting is a procedure directly guided by Dr. Jung Young Choon, the founder and CEO of HERSHE Plastic Surgery, who has extensive experience as a Key Doctor in Asia, specifically in Korea, where he has been highly regarded for his expertise in effective facial fat removal techniques using Accusculpt and Venus Laser.
A Key Doctor refers to a specialist appointed by the manufacturer as a consultant to conduct research and educational seminars on the device, maximizing its effectiveness in procedures. Through years of research and clinical experience in facial fat removal and lifting, HERSHE has developed expertise in selectively and safely removing excess fat and lifting facial contours according to the quantitative changes in facial fat.

DuringHERSHE Mini Contour Lifting, the Epiticon® threads that will be used have bi-directional cog mechanisms on each knot that will make them suitable for lifting sagging tissues and gathering them in the appropriate position for secure fixation.

Recommended Treatment to Combine:

- Enhance the Lifting with HIFU Lift
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment provides an initial tightening effect due to tissue contraction and subsequent lifting effects as the healing process of internal wounds occurs. Additionally, since HIFU treatment primarily targets the SMAS layer, the delivered energy passes through the subcutaneous fat layer, potentially causing damage to the fat layer.
  
  When combining HIFU treatment with Mini Contour Lifting, the lifting effects are further enhanced, and regular maintenance sessions using HIFU can help maintain the lifting results. HEALITE laser treatment after surgery

HEALITE laser treatment after surgery
1. The 590nm wavelength of low-level micropower is initially applied to the epidermal layer of the skin to ensure optimal delivery of healing wavelengths, followed by the 830nm near-infrared wavelength, known for its deep penetration and strong healing capabilities.

2. The 830nm healing photons are emitted from 1800 light sources, creating a zone where the photons overlap.

3. This zone exhibits healing effects and facilitates rapid skin regeneration and pain relief by ensuring sufficient photon delivery to deeper layers of the skin.

The combination of pre-scanning the skin with low-level micropower at 590nm, followed by the powerful 830nm near-infrared (near-IR) wavelength penetrating deep into the skin, is the technique used in this phototherapy.
The LEDs on the panel are precisely arranged to allow the emitted light from each LED to overlap, enabling interactions through a large number of photons.

Scar Intensive Care Program
After surgery, depending on the severity of the scars, an individualized scar management program can be conducted through diagnosis of the doctor and sufficient consultation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Is thread lifting performed together with facial liposuction?

A. Yes, that's correct. thread Lift and facial liposuction are often performed together as the combined procedure shows greater improvement in facial contours and lifting effect of sagging tissues compared to individual procedures. It also offers longer-lasting results.

Q.Which areas are targeted in the procedure?

A. Mini contour lift is a procedure that is recommended for those who want to undergo thread Lift and facial liposuction together.
It is designed to focus on correcting specific areas, such as sagging jawline, double chin, and sagging cheeks, rather than severe aging signs. If the sagging area is extensive or severe, additional thread Lift or facial liposuction in other areas may be considered.

Q.How long does it take to see the lifting effect?

A. When there is a significant amount of facial fat in the treated areas, the lifted facial tissues can be anchored more effectively, and the results tend to last longer. On the other hand, if facial liposuction is performed alone, the skin may lose its elasticity more easily after fat removal.
Therefore, thread Lift and facial liposuction are often recommended together to achieve optimal lifting effects and contour improvement.

Q.How many threads are used in the procedure?

A. We use Epiticon® threads, a patented development by Dr. Jung Young Choon, the founder of our clinic.
These threads are melting threads that have the ideal strength, tensile strength, and anchoring capability for lifting heavier tissues.
Generally, around 10 threads are used per area for thread lift and even fewer threads may be used for the Mini Contour Lift procedure, which is designed to concentrate on specific localized areas in combination with facial liposuction.

Q.What is the duration of the results?

A. The results of facial liposuction are considered permanent as the removed facial fat does not return. However, the thread lift procedure involves anchoring the lifted facial tissues, and the longevity can vary depending on individual tissue adhesion.
If thread Lift is performed without facial liposuction, there is a risk that the threads may detach or the cogs may dissolve before sufficient tissue adhesion occurs, resulting in reduced lifting effects. The material of the threads also affects the longevity of the results. Epiticon® threads are designed with a unique structure to minimize the risk of cog dissolution or breakage, and their longevity is optimized for effective and long-lasting lifting results.

Q.Will there be significant scarring?

A. The procedure is performed with minimal incisions using a cannula, so the scars are not significant.
The resulting marks are slightly larger than needle marks and fade over time, becoming less noticeable.
If there are concerns about the scarring, personalized scar management programs, such as laser treatments, can be helpful in reducing the appearance of scars over time.

Q.What are the precautions after surgery?

A. After the surgery, there may be minor bleeding or hematoma formation from even small impacts between 1 to 3 days post-surgery.
Don't be worried, you can gently apply clean gauze or tissue to the affected area for about 3 minutes to stop the bleeding.
Be cautious not to let water get into the surgical area, and avoid chewing on hard or tough foods. It's best to refrain from opening your mouth too wide until you have fully recovered.
Also, avoid bending your head forward for an extended period, and for at least 3 to 5 days, try to sleep with your head elevated higher than your heart.
Furthermore, it's recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for about a month after the surgery.
