What is the difference between a major facelift and a minor facelift? Which state of aging do they correspond to?

Actually, the difference between a major facelift and a minor facelift that I am having now is not that big. In a traditional mini facelift, there is one very small incision, or two very small incisions, for deep thread suturing and suspension. However, the mini facelift I am having now is the same as tightening the SMAS fascial layer under direct vision and then lifting it, which lasts longer and corrects better. If the pouch in the lower part of the face is not obvious, and the marionette lines and skin laxity are not obvious, you can consider making a temporal incision, which is relatively larger than the general small facelift incision, and I can tighten the temporal fascia layer under direct vision, and then tighten the SMAS fascia layer under the zygomatic arch afterwards. However, if there is already an orofacial pouch and the facial skin is also loose, a major facelift must be considered. Only in such cases can the laxity of the skin be well corrected.
