is a procedure that improves sagging cheeks and deep-looking nasolabial folds through small incisions and dissection from the temple to the front of the ear. The sagging skin and subcutaneous tissue, including the SMAS layer, are lifted to reposition volume, while excess skin is removed to help maintain skin firmness for longer.

DETAIL & PRECISION

HERSHE Double-Chin Mini Lift Is Different

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Because every face and concern is different, personalized consultation is essential. Our medical team has extensive experience in lifting and anti-aging surgeryand carefully analyzes the areas of concern, facial structure, and skin condition to establish an appropriate surgical plan.

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

Improve and Maintain Sagging Through SMAS Fixation

Improve and Maintain Sagging Through SMAS Fixation

The jawline mini lift performed with double-chin muscle tightening uses a small incision extending from the earlobe to behind the ear. Dissection reaches the SMAS layer, allowing sagging tissue of the jawline, under-chin area, and neck to be lifted and securely fixed for longer-lasting results.

Improve Skin Elasticity by Removing Excess Skin

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.

Faster Return to Daily Life with Relatively Small Incisions

Faster Return to Daily Life with Relatively Small Incisions

Incisions are kept small and limited to the area necessary for lifting and are designed along relatively inconspicuous locations whenever possible. Drawing on extensive clinical experience, our dedicated lifting specialists carefully correct the tissue while considering both recovery and lifting results.

Mini Midface Lift Procedure

A Mini Midface Lift uses relatively small incisions to vertically lift and fix the SMAS layer, naturally improving nasolabial folds and sagging cheek tissue. Refining loose skin can help create a firmer facial line and maintain the lifting effect over the long term.

  • 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.
