DETAIL & PRECISION

HERSHE Plastic Surgery's Double Chin Mini Facelift is different

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Because every person's facial structure and concerns are different, personalized consultation is essential. Our medical team with extensive experience in lifting and anti-aging surgerycarefully analyzes the areas of concern, facial structure, and skin condition to establish an appropriate surgical plan.

Based on a systematic diagnosis that considers each person's facial characteristics, HERSHE Plastic Surgery recommends only the procedures necessary to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Improve and Maintain Lifting by Securing the SMAS Layer

A More Lasting Lift with Secure SMAS Fixation

Through a relatively small incision, dissection extends to the SMAS layer. Sagging tissues in the midface and cheeks are then lifted and securely fixed, helping soften nasolabial folds and create a more defined, longer-lasting lifting effect.

Improve Skin Firmness by Removing Excess Skin

Improve Skin Firmness by Removing Excess Skin

Removing excess skin can help improve sagging tissue more effectively. The skin and SMAS layer are lifted together and excess skin is removed to pursue a more defined contour and natural-looking change.

Faster Return to Daily Life with a Relatively Small Incision

Faster Return to Daily Life with a Relatively Small Incision

The incision is kept small within the range necessary for lifting and is designed along areas that are as inconspicuous as possible. Based on the extensive clinical experience of the dedicated lifting team, tissues are carefully corrected with both the recovery process and lifting effect in mind.

Nasolabial Mini Facelift Surgical Process

Nasolabial Mini Facelift uses a relatively small incision and vertically lifts and secures the SMAS layer
to naturally improve nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks.
Loose skin is adjusted at the same time, helping create a firmer facial line and support longer-lasting lifting.

  • Q.What areas can a Mini Midface Lift improve?

  • A.A Mini Midface Lift is designed to improve sagging cheeks and nasolabial folds. The descended SMAS layer in the midface is vertically lifted and secured, and excess skin is removed to create a more defined and longer-lasting lifting effect.

  • Q.Does a Mini Midface Lift require an incision?

  • A.Yes. A limited incision is made from the area near the temple to the upper front of the ear to allow dissection of the SMAS layer.

  • Q.Is a Mini Midface Lift painful?

  • A.The procedure is performed under sedation, so patients generally do not feel pain during surgery. Some tightness or soreness may occur afterward, depending on the individual, but these symptoms usually improve gradually over time.

  • Q.When are the sutures removed after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A.Patients visit the clinic the day after surgery for a follow-up examination. Sutures are generally removed in two stages, on days 7 and 9. An additional follow-up visit is recommended one month after surgery to check that the area is healing properly.

  • Q.Do I need to wear a compression garment after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A.Wearing a compression garment for approximately two weeks is generally recommended. Postoperative dressing is provided, and garment use is explained when necessary. During the first week, wearing it while outside may support recovery. During the second week, it may be worn only at home. It should always be removed before sleeping.

  • Q.How long is the recovery period after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A.Recovery varies between individuals, but returning to daily activities generally takes approximately 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising may be most noticeable during the first 3–7 days before gradually subsiding. In most cases, the treated area begins to look more natural and stable within 2–3 weeks.

  • Q.When can I resume daily activities after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A.Light daily activities are generally possible during the recovery period. Exercise and strenuous activities are usually recommended after at least 2–3 weeks, depending on your recovery. It is important to follow the medical team’s instructions.

  • Q.When can I eat after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A.You can eat after surgery, but soft foods are recommended for the first 1–2 days for a more comfortable recovery. You may gradually return to your normal diet if you do not experience any discomfort.

  • Q.Will a Mini Midface Lift leave visible scars?

  • A.Scars gradually settle and fade during the healing process. Their visibility varies depending on individual skin characteristics and pigmentation. Most scars become significantly less noticeable within 3–6 months. If a scar remains prominent, laser scar treatment may be considered.

  • Q.Are there any potential side effects after a Mini Midface Lift?

  • A. Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness may occur and generally improve over time. Complications such as inflammation may occur depending on the individual, so carefully following postoperative instructions and scheduled follow-up visits is important. HERSHE’s dedicated medical team provides attentive postoperative care to help minimize potential risks.
