Hello. This is Inique Plastic Surgery.

What are you doing to maintain your youth?

Skin care, nutrition/supplements, and simple procedures —there are so many different ways to manage it.

If you are still not satisfied with these methods, there is only one answer. Plastic surgery!!

Today, we would like to introduce the retention period of a facelift for improving skin that has lost elasticity due to aging and wrinkles, as well as the facelift recovery period.

Among lifting procedures, there are forehead, neck, submental, mini, and facelift procedures.

A facelift is a surgical method that involves making incisions along the hairline, temples, and behind the ears to pull up overall facial sagging. Even in cases where aging has progressed significantly, the effect is clear, and it also helps improve a double chin and neck wrinkles. In addition, it does not stop at simply pulling the skin; it is a permanent lifting surgery that provides firm elasticity by incising the SMAS layer, a fibromuscular layer between the fat layer and the muscle layer, and pulling and fixing the tissues.

It is recommended for people with severe loss of elasticity due to aging, those with overall deep wrinkles, those for whom other lifting procedures have had only minimal effect, and those whose faces have sagged overall, making the facial contours unclear.

Then, shall we take a look at which lifting method may be right for you?

First is Shurink lifting.

Shurink is a procedure that improves skin elasticity and volume, and it is a non-surgical lifting method that uses ultrasound to induce dermal contraction and collagen regeneration. Its advantage is that you can resume daily activities on the same day, but the maintenance period is relatively short at 3 months.

Next is thread lifting, a procedure that improves wrinkles such as the jawline and nasolabial folds and smooths the facial contours. It is a non-incisional lifting method that pulls the SMAS layer with lifting threads and induces collagen regeneration. Although there may be some discomfort, you can resume daily activities on the same day, and many people are interested in it because the maintenance period is 6 months to 1 year.

Lastly is the incision lifting method used in facelift surgery.

It improves everything from fine wrinkles to deep wrinkles and corrects facial contours, making it highly effective even for middle-aged and older adults. As explained earlier, this is a lifting procedure that involves making an incision in the skin, dissecting it, and pulling the SMAS layer, and the facelift recovery period is about one week. In addition, with a maintenance period of around 10 years, it is the procedure I most recommend among those that slow aging.

Wrinkles, which are a cause of aging, differ depending on the lifting method, but the truth is that deep wrinkles are difficult to improve. However, it is no exaggeration to say that a facelift is the only way to improve deep wrinkles. I think it is a procedure well worth considering for those who have tried various lifting methods mentioned above but did not see results.

In addition, Inique also offers a surgical method called Dual Incision Lifting.

Dual Incision Lifting raises the SMAS layer beneath the dermis upward, keeping it in the same position as in your 20s, and pulls the remaining skin outward to return it to a state as close as possible to your face in your 20s. This is Inique's unique proprietary technology, for which a trademark has been filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and it not only creates a dramatic effect that turns back time, but also lasts for more than 10 years, so you do not have to worry about sagging skin again!!

So far, we have looked at Inique’s various lifting procedures, the facelift maintenance period, and the facelift recovery period.

In the case of lifting procedures, they are often considered a gift that children give to their parents. How about giving your parents the gift of youth in the coming New Year?

And do not forget that you must choose a trustworthy clinic. If you have not yet found one, come to Inique, where a skin specialist is on-site and high safety can be expected, and regain the youth you lost!

Then, as if you were beautiful from the very beginning, this has been Inique.

Thank you.
