What does the word mini change in a mini facelift?
The opening and the field. Rewind enters one stretch of the lifting route instead of the whole line, and the coverage is the middle and lower face. The layer treated is the same SMAS the full operation treats, drawn upward and fixed in position.
Which areas does Rewind's mini lift cover?
The clinic gives the field as the middle and lower face, and lists descent in the nasolabial fold, the cheek, the jaw line and the neck among the reasons people come for it. Whether a given area is inside the plan is settled by examination.
Does Rewind publish how long the incision is?
No length is published. What the clinic publishes is the route: part of the line from the temple hairline to the ear, or from the ear into the hairline behind it, with only the stretch the examination calls for being opened. A measurement would be invented, so none appears here.
Where will the scar sit, and will hair cover it?
The line runs inside the hairline and along the contour of the ear, and Rewind states that hair and ear anatomy make it difficult to see externally once healed. It stays a surgical scar: sun protection and scar care are part of the clinic's instructions.
How long does Rewind record a mini lift as holding?
More than five years, with the clinic noting variation between individuals. For comparison, Rewind records more than ten years for the full-length operation and more than three for the partial lift. Ageing continues on top of any of those figures.
What is the partial lift listed beside the mini operation?
Rewind describes it as an extension of the mini lift: the same selective incision from hairline to ear and ear to behind-ear hairline, the same dissection of skin and fascia. Its published durability figure is more than three years, so it is quoted as a listing of its own.
Is the jaw line part of this operation or a separate one?
Jaw line descent sits inside the published field of the mini lift, which covers the middle and lower face. The neck is different: Rewind lists a neck lift as its own operation with its own price line, so a neck that has dropped is planned and quoted separately.
Could a mini lift be extended to a full lift later?
Rewind publishes no policy on sequencing operations, so this page states none. What the clinic does publish is that the full lift, the mini lift and the partial lift are separate listings, each with its own scope. Any staged plan is a conversation with the surgeon.
When can a long flight home be planned?
Two published facts frame it: about a week in a compression dressing, and a minimum of four weeks away from strenuous activity. Rewind publishes no travel timetable, so a departure date is set with the surgeon at a review.
What does the quoted figure include?
Each listing is a list price with VAT excluded and the anaesthetic fee already inside it. Combined scopes, such as a lift taken together with the neck, are quoted as combinations. Any extra line in a plan is explained at the examination before anyone agrees to it.
What happens at the consultation before a mini lift is agreed?
The surgeon examines how far the descent has travelled and which stretch of the route needs opening, then names the scope that matches. Surgical consultations can be booked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday until 19:00 and Saturday until 16:00, by appointment only, and interpreter support is arranged for overseas patients.
Is there more than one operating surgeon at Rewind?
One. Dr. Jonghwan Choi, the medical director and a board-certified plastic surgeon, examines every patient, performs every operation and holds every follow-up. No part of a case is handed to a second operator, and the clinic holds KHIDI registration for treating foreign patients.
