Frequently asked questions
Where is the incision (scar)?
An incision of about 2–3 cm is made inside the sideburn, behind the temple, according to the design. The clinic states that hairline incisions are made at a 45-degree angle to reduce strain on the hair follicles. How visible the scar remains differs between individuals.
How does mini lifting differ from a mini facelift?
Per the clinic, mini lifting lifts the lower face through an incision of about 2–3 cm inside the sideburn, while a mini facelift uses incisions in front of and behind the ear and along the nape hairline to treat the whole mid and lower face, cheekbones, deep cheeks, jawline and neckline. Which suits you is decided at consultation.
How much does it cost?
The clinic's non-covered fee schedule (as of 2026-06-15) lists 'Lifting' at KRW 2M–15M (VAT not included). The schedule does not break this down by individual procedure, and the fee depends on consultation and your condition.
