Lifting

Mini lifting

MOOi's mini lift pulls four layers — retaining ligaments, SMAS, epidermis and dermis — giving a stronger lift than device-based tightening. It suits early to moderate sagging of the cheek and lower face.

Who it suits

  • Early sagging of the cheek and lower face
  • Want more than a device can give but less than a full face lift

Technique highlights

  • Starts at the retaining ligaments, not just the surface
  • Smaller incisions than a full face lift

Surgical steps

  • Set the lift vector along the direction of descent
  • Release and fix the deep layers before redraping the skin
  • Close along the hairline and around the ear

Recovery & aftercare

  • Sedation, one follow-up and stitch removal at seven days
  • Daily life after about two weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on individual anatomy and after-care.
  • Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist first.
  • Surgery time and recovery figures come from MOOi's official pages and may change after the doctor's assessment.
