Today, we’re talking about a very special technique, not widely known but one I absolutely love: the Minipinch technique. It’s designed to enhance the appearance of the lower eyelid, and I often, almost always, combine it with the Mivel technique, also known as endoscopic lifting.
Why this combination? When we reposition the malar and zygomatic areas using a vertical vector, a small fold of skin can form on the lower eyelid. The Minipinch technique is perfect for correcting this excess skin.
Important: This technique focuses exclusively on the skin, without touching the muscle. When the malar and zygomatic tissues are lifted, it’s normal for a small skin fold to appear. The Minipinch precisely trims this fold. It’s a simple procedure that only removes excess skin, with sutures so fine that they leave virtually no visible scar.
The result? A rejuvenated look and a cleaner, more defined lower eyelid. Not to be confused with lower blepharoplasty, the Minipinch technique is the perfect complement to the Mivel technique, which lifts the tissues and elongates the gaze.
