  • A nasolabial fold mini lift
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

Improve Skin Elasticity by Removing Excess Skin

Removing excess skin can help improve sagging tissue more effectively. By lifting the skin and SMAS layer together and removing excess skin, the procedure aims for a more defined contour and natural-looking change.

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.

Nasolabial Fold Mini Lift Procedure

A nasolabial fold mini 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 concerns can a double-chin mini lift improve?

  • A.A double-chin mini lift can help improve a double chin, sagging jawline, jowls, and lower-face sagging. It corrects the platysma beneath the chin, lifts sagging lower-face and jawline tissue, and removes excess skin to create a more defined jawline and smoother face-to-neck line.

  • Q.Are incisions made during a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.A small 1–3 cm incision is made beneath the chin for double-chin muscle tightening, and an incision extending from in front of the ear to behind the ear is made to lift the jawline and lower face. Incisions are designed with consideration for natural creases and contours.

  • Q.Is double-chin mini lift surgery painful?

  • A.The surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia, so you will feel little to no pain during the procedure. A pulling sensation, stiffness, or swelling may occur afterward depending on the individual, but gradually improves over time.

  • Q.When are sutures removed after a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.You will visit the clinic the day after surgery for a progress check. Sutures are generally removed in two stages on days 7 and 9. Depending on the incision and recovery, staples may be used on the neck or from the neck to the scalp to stabilize the tissue and support recovery. An additional visit is recommended at one month to assess recovery.

  • Q.Do I need to wear a compression band after a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.Wearing it for approximately 2 weeks is generally recommended. Instructions will be provided according to your postoperative condition, and it can help during the initial recovery period.

  • Q.How long is the recovery period after a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.Recovery varies, but most patients can return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising may be most noticeable 3–7 days after surgery and then gradually improve. Most cases settle naturally after approximately 2–3 weeks.

  • Q.When can I return to daily activities after a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.Light daily activities can be resumed relatively quickly, while exercise and strenuous activity are recommended after approximately 2–3 weeks. The exact timing may vary depending on recovery, so it is important to follow your medical team's guidance.

  • Q.When can I eat after double-chin surgery?

  • A.You can eat immediately after surgery, but porridge or other soft foods are recommended for the first 1–2 days for a comfortable recovery. If there is no discomfort afterward, you may return to a normal diet.

  • Q.Will the scar be noticeable after a double-chin mini lift?

  • A.The incision beneath the chin is small, approximately 1–3 cm, and is placed where it is relatively inconspicuous from the front or side. Scars around the ears also gradually fade during recovery, although visibility varies by skin condition and melanin level. Most scars improve significantly over 3–6 months, and laser scar treatment may be considered if necessary.

  • Q.Are there any side effects after double-chin mini lift surgery?

  • A. Swelling, bruising, and a temporary pulling sensation may occur and usually improve gradually during recovery. Inflammation or reduced sensation can occur depending on the individual, so it is important to follow postoperative instructions and scheduled visits. The HERSHE medical team carefully manages the recovery process to reduce the possibility of side effects.
