Non-incision facelift
This non-invasive procedure is excellent for those who begin to notice mild to moderate
signs of aging. This procedure is also commonly known as mini lift as it uses
minimal thin incisions (if necessary).
With no incision or small incision, strong threads such as elasticum or suchlike are used to lift the SMAS layer, droopy tissue, and saggy skin on the middle and lower part of the face.
The biggest benefit of this method is that the incisions (if any) can be easily hidden and
covered by hair. Another benefit of this customized lifting procedure is less discomfort,
less pain, fast recovery, and improved skin elasticity. Docfinderkorea’s anti-aging specialist
will help you to attain desired lifting result while maintaining natural facial expression.
What will get improved if I have non-incision facelift surgery?
SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer is a very thin muscle layer that covers
all surfaces of the face and transmits the movement of facial muscles to the skin. SMAS layer is
sensitive to gravity, therefore, it creates wrinkles and causes saggy skin as time goes by.
If only the skin layer is lifted, then signs of aging will be visible again due to the SMAS layer.
In order to obtain a stronger lifting effect, it is important to not only lift the skin
but also improve the SMAS layer.
Possible incision location
Depending on the case, if necessary, a small and thin incision might be made behind the
hairline (on the temporal area), behind the ears, etc. Accurate diagnosis, surgery plan, and
incision plan will be made by our board-certified specialist after physical assessment.

FAQ
How much does a non-incisional facelift cost in Korea?
The cost of a non-incisional facelift typically ranges from ₩4,500,000
to ₩9,000,000, depending on the clinic. Prices may vary, so it is best
to consult directly for a more accurate quote.
How long do the results of a non-incisional facelift last?
The results of a non-incisional facelift, often referred to as a mini
lift, typically last between 5 to 10 years. However, longevity can vary
depending on individual factors such as skin elasticity, age, and
lifestyle choices, including skincare and sun protection.
How do I know what type of facelift is best for me?
The most suitable lifting procedure for an individual is best
determined through an in-person consultation with a qualified
doctor, who can thoroughly assess your skin. Generally, non-
incisional facelifts or minimal-incision facelifts are recommended
for younger individuals with mild to moderate sagging. For
individuals with more pronounced sagging, a full facelift and/or
neck lift is advised.
What is the recovery time for a non-incisional facelift?
Recovery from a non-incisional or mini facelift typically takes about
1 to 2 weeks. Most patients can return to their normal daily
activities within a few days after the procedure. However, some
swelling and unevenness may persist during the first few months.
These effects gradually subside, with full recovery and optimal results
achieved within 6 months to a year.
Are there any visible scars after the surgery?
In some cases, no incisions are required, resulting in no scars.
However, if a minimal incision is necessary, it is typically made
within the hairline, ensuring it remains well-hidden and leaves no
visible scars.
What are the benefits of a non-incisional facelift?
The benefits of a non-incisional or minimal-incision facelift include
minimal downtime, reduced scarring, shorter surgery time, fewer
side effects, and more natural-looking results.
