Only the essential micro-incisions
A micro-incision under 5cm is made in the temporal area hidden by the hair, so that the scar remains hard to see once healing is complete.

2030 Mini Facelift
Mini Facelift for the 2030 age group, the secret to looking younger
A midface mini lift raises sagging cheeks through small incisions only.
- 01
What kind of surgery is the 2030 Mini Facelift?
It is a lift that elevates the midface through a small temporal incision only. TheLINE designed it for people in their 20s and 30s whose sagging is still mild.
- 02
Why lift the midface?
When sagging cheeks return to their original position, the face looks brighter and more radiant. As the midface is restored, the nasolabial folds are eased as well.
- 03
Where is the incision made?
A roughly 5cm incision is made in the temporal area hidden by the hair. It is a location where the scar stays hard to see once healing is complete.
- 04
How long does the effect last?
It generally lasts about 5 to 10 years, and revision surgery is possible if needed. The Endotine implant used for fixation dissolves within about 1 year on average.
- 05
How is safety prepared for?
Before surgery, over 70 specialized blood tests check in advance for risks such as inflammation, supported by a board-certified anesthesiologist and the SD transfusion system.

Mini Facelift Method
The principle behind the Mini Youth Lift
TheLINE medical team, with over 30 years of experience in facial anatomy, designs the incision, dissection and vector.
Precise dissection and tension-free suturing
Dissection is carried precisely down beneath the SMAS layer so the skin is drawn appropriately, and only the tissues that need to bear the tension are sutured without tension, keeping blood supply smooth. The elevated tissue is fixed with Endotine.
The scientific vector principle
In lifting surgery, the vector direction and the dissection matter most. When the vector principle is understood accurately and applied, recovery is more stable and pain is reduced.

Mid & Lower Face Lift
Mini Youth Lift Full, mid and lower face together
Through a 5cm temporal incision, dissection reaches the nasolabial fold, the retaining ligaments are released and tissue is fixed with Ribbon Endotine.
Before
As the sagging subcutaneous fat in the cheeks and the triangular fat under the eyes droop, the area above the nasolabial folds bulges and Indian lines appear along with it.
After 1 Month
Lifting and repositioning the dropped fat brings the midface volume back into place, and the Indian lines and nasolabial fold area are smoothed out together.
※ Pre- and post-operative results may vary from person to person.
Thread Lifting vs Mini Facelift
Are you still getting thread lifting every year?
Thread lifting and the 2030 Mini Facelift take fundamentally different approaches.
Treatment cycle
Thread lifting is repeated periodically every 6 months to 1 year. The Mini Youth Lift lasts 5 to 10 years, and revision surgery is possible if needed.
Surgical method
Thread lifting uses dissolvable threads. The Mini Youth Lift fundamentally elevates the SMAS layer through incision and dissection (implants may be used depending on the condition).
Lifting range
Thread lifting stays within the midface. With the Mini Youth Lift, the nasolabial folds, anterior cheek volume and jowls also improve along with the midface.
Duration
Thread lifting takes around 30 minutes. The Mini Youth Lift takes about 2 to 3 hours, including incision and dissection.
