Mini facelift anatomy

The difference between a mini facelift/ S facelift in a traditional facelift is that a mini facelift uses smaller incision area as and smaller tiny barb sutures, while those of the traditional facelift require heavy stitching.

Our outer layer, the skin is lifted and tightened during a mini facelift procedure. If we were to simply list and tightened the skin of our face eventually it will lose its flexibility and natural looseness and ultimately stretch and lose its position.
