{{ showTranscript ? 'HIDE' : 'SHOW' }} TRANSCRIPT
Each candidate presents with their own issues. The mini-lift is a good lift for a patient who has minimal problems.

It involves lifting muscles, fat grafting, et cetera, so it can range from either a very minimally invasive procedure to a more complicated procedure, depending on what the patient's problems are.
