Mini Facelift

Minimizing scarring concerns while achieving a natural, sag-free line through extensive SMAS dissection: Through minimal incisions targeted to sagging areas, the SMAS is extensively dissected and the retaining ligaments are released, fundamentally correcting sagging in a customized facial lifting procedure. Less demanding than a full facelift, yet delivering natural and long-lasting results.
It selectively improves key areas with notable sagging such as the mid-face and lower face,making it ideal for those in their 30s–40s experiencing early aging or seeking partial improvement.

*Results may vary depending on the patient's condition and surgical method.

Only the incision and dissection range differ — the same principles as Triple Deep Plane Facelift are maintained.

Proper SMAS Dissection: A mini facelift without extensive SMAS dissection yields little to no result. ZELL's Mini Facelift differs only in the length of the incision and the extent of SMAS dissection — the remainder of the procedure follows the same principles as a full facelift.

Minimal Scarring Concern: Minimal incisions tailored for mid-face or lower face mini facelift significantly reduce scarring concerns.

Faster Recovery: By minimizing unnecessary incisions and dissection to reduce bleeding and swelling, recovery time is shorter and a quick return to daily life is possible.

We recommend Mini Facelift for the following individuals.

✓Those in their 30s–40s who want to address early aging signs but find a full facelift too daunting
✓Those who wish to partially improve only the mid-face or lower face
✓Those who want a mini facelift with proper SMAS dissection
✓Those who desire a fast recovery and quick return to daily life
✓Those with only partial sagging after facial contouring surgery

Targeted Improvement of Sagging in Key Areas: By precisely dissecting and fixing only the sagging areas such as the mid-face and lower face, unnecessary incisions and tissue damage are minimized, delivering natural improvement.

Small Incision, Powerful Lifting Effect: Although the incision is small, releasing the retaining ligaments and performing SMAS dissection remain unchanged, delivering natural results comparable to a full facelift.

Fast Recovery and Return to Daily Life: With a shorter operation time and minimal swelling, bruising, and scarring, natural recovery is possible within approximately one week, enabling a quick return to daily life.
