What is Rine Plastic Surgery’s minimally invasive facelift?

A mini facelift that reduces incision burden while achieving a strong, effective lift.

A minimally invasive facelift is a smaller version of a traditional facelift. Performed via a smaller incision, made only in front of the ear to lift the face, surgical incisions and recovery time are reduced while still delivering a strong lifting effect.

It can help improve concerns such as nasolabial folds, jowls, and sagging in the front cheek area, creating a firmer, more elastic, and slimmer facial contour without sagging.

Q&A

Minimally invasive facelift

Frequently asked questions

RINE’s minimally invasive facelift is performed using incisions right along the hairline and a small area in front of the ear, so the scars are barely noticeable.

Traditional mini facelifts only involve incisions inside the hairline, making SMAS manipulation nearly impossible. In contrast, RINE’s minimally invasive facelift includes an additional incision in front of the ear, allowing for proper dissection and lifting of the SMAS layer and firm fixation. As a result, it can deliver results and longevity comparable to a full facelift.
