iNeedle Chin Lifting
A minimally invasive thread lifting procedure for the chin.
iNeedle is a minor procedure done under local anaesthetic to lift chin tissue for those who do not require a full face lift. This procedure creates a lift structure with a single suture running from side to side under the chin and jaw. The resulting scaffold effect suspends any loose tissue.
