Mini Lift + Lower Blepharoplasty
A case study of a female patient in her 60s who underwent a mini lift and lower blepharoplasty to address jowls, marionette lines, and under-eye sagging.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 60s
# Concerned about jowls on both sides and marionette lines around the mouth.
# Desires to address under-eye puffiness and midface volume loss simultaneously.
* Consultation
# The patient wanted to resolve midface sagging along with under-eye puffiness. During lower blepharoplasty, a midface lift can be performed concurrently. This is because the lower eyelid provides the most direct access route to the midface area!
# Through a mini lift—specifically a thread lift combined with a minor incision—sagging can be addressed without noticeable scarring.
# Results vary significantly depending on the type of thread used and the vector applied. Therefore, it is crucial to consult with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon!
* Plan
Liposuction (Double chin, jowl area)
Mini Lift
Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift
* Post-operative Progress
# Please note that the patient had moles removed prior to surgery, so there are some marks on the face.
# First, the heavy-looking double chin area was addressed through liposuction.
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—which are normally like orange pulp—into a juice-like state, allowing the fat to be suctioned out smoothly like water without requiring excessive force.
# Even with the same type of thread, the effect can be completely different depending on the design and the vector of insertion. Whether the goal is simply to pull upward or to redefine the jawline, the extensive experience of the medical staff and a customized design for each individual are vital!
# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft and Mint’ as lifting materials. The proper combination of these two threads not only provides a definitive lift but also induces collagen synthesis from within. After 2 to 3 months, patients can feel their skin becoming firmer and more elastic!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
