What is a Minimally Invasive Facelift at RINE Plastic Surgery?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a minimally invasive facelift?
It’s a smaller version of a traditional facelift that uses a smaller incision in front of the ear to lift the face. The goal is to reduce incision burden and recovery time while still creating a strong lifting effect.
What concerns can this procedure help improve?
It can help improve nasolabial folds, jowls, and sagging in the front cheek area. It is also intended to create a firmer, more elastic, and slimmer facial contour.
How long does the surgery take, and what is recovery like?
The surgery time is listed as under 30 minutes. Suture removal is after 3 days, recovery is within 1 week, and the follow-up visit is 1 session.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
The procedure is performed with sedation and local anesthesia.
Who is this facelift recommended for?
It is recommended for people who want clearer improvement in sagging without the burden of a full facelift, want a quicker return to daily life, prefer minimal incisions with less concern about scarring, or are concerned about mid-face sagging, nasolabial folds, sagging at the corners of the mouth, or skin sagging after facial contouring surgery.
Is this procedure only for older patients?
No. It is presented for people in their 20s and 30s who want improvement of sagging skin after facial contouring surgery or rapid dieting, as well as people in their 40s and beyond who want lifting of sagging skin caused by aging and improvement of uneven facial contours from loss of elasticity.
Where are the incisions made?
The method uses small incisions along the hairline and a small incision in front of the ear, about 2 cm in length.
How is the procedure done?
First, a small incision is made along the hairline and in front of the ear. Then the skin layer and SMAS layer are separated, the sagging tissues are lifted and secured, excess sagging skin is removed, and the incision is closed carefully with fine sutures.
Will the scars be very noticeable?
The scars are described as barely noticeable because the incisions are placed along the hairline and in a small area in front of the ear, and the closure is done carefully to minimize visible scarring.
Does a minimal-incision facelift still give strong results?
Yes. The procedure includes an additional incision in front of the ear, which allows dissection and lifting of the SMAS layer with firm fixation. It is described as delivering results and longevity comparable to a full facelift.
What results can I expect after the surgery?
The expected results include immediate lifting of the lower face, minimal scarring concerns, a natural and immediate V-line, improvement in wrinkles and facial sagging, a more youthful appearance, and minimized swelling for faster recovery.
Are there any possible side effects I should know about?
Yes. Possible side effects mentioned include bleeding and infection, and results may vary from person to person.
