A mini facelift, as performed by Dr. Kim, is essentially a milder version of Facelift Surgery with shorter incisions and less tissue manipulation. The intention of the procedure is to give the patient a younger, tighter, and refreshed look mostly along the jawline and in the skin underneath the chin.
