Midlife Facelift: How to Do It Safely

Hello.

This is Inique Plastic Surgery.

As time passes,

people naturally age,

leading to cellular changes, functional changes,

and hormonal changes.

In particular, the skin begins to develop wrinkles

and lose elasticity,

while cartilage and bones also

decrease in density with aging.

When these changes are compared with

younger years,

they can affect how you see yourself,

and self-esteem may also decline.

To help prevent these changes,

people use methods such as

cosmetics, massage, and exercise,

but it is difficult to expect

a major improvement.

However,

there is a method that can create

a clearly visible change at a glance.

That method is

a midlife facelift.

Among these, a forehead lift is the method

most often chosen by middle-aged people

because it has a clear lifting effect

on forehead and glabellar wrinkles,

the eyebrows,

and even sagging around the eyes.

In particular, when Inique Plastic Surgery performs

a forehead lift,

it uses genuine products approved by

FDA, KFDA, and CE,

which makes the procedure safer

and allows more reliable results.

The forehead lift,

which is excellent for a midlife facelift,

is performed in the following way.

First, 3 to 5 small incisions are made

along the hairline,

and the endoscopic procedure is performed.

At this time, Inique Plastic Surgery uses

FULL HD endoscopy to directly view and identify

the location of important structures,

allowing for more precise dissection.

After that, the forehead is pulled upward

and securely fixed using Endotine.

Besides a midlife facelift and

a forehead lift,

what other methods are effective for improvement?

The answer is lifting.

Lifting is not limited to just one type;

there are various lifting methods

depending on the approach.

First, Shurink lifting is a non-surgical lifting procedure

that uses ultrasound

to induce contraction of the dermal layer

and collagen regeneration.

Because it is non-surgical,

normal daily activities are possible immediately after the procedure,

but the maintenance period is 3 months,

making it the shortest-lasting

among lifting procedures.

The second lifting method that can help with

a midlife facelift is thread lifting,

a non-incisional lifting procedure that uses lifting threads

to pull the SMAS layer

and induce collagen regeneration.

Daily life is possible on the same day,

but some mild discomfort may be present.

The maintenance period is 6 months to 1 year,

and it is excellent for improving wrinkles such as

the jawline and nasolabial folds,

which are concerns for middle-aged people,

and it can help refine the facial contour.

Lastly, incision lifting is a surgical lifting method

that involves making an incision and dissecting the skin

to pull the SMAS layer.

Since it is surgery,

the recovery period varies depending on the patient's condition,

but it is expected to take about 7 days.

It can improve everything from fine lines to deep wrinkles,

and it is the method with the greatest effect

for middle-aged and older patients.

In addition, the maintenance period is around 10 years,

making it the longest-lasting

among lifting methods.

If you are worried about deep forehead wrinkles

caused by aging,

if the upper face looks generally sagging,

or if sagging of the eyebrows and eye area

covers the eyes and narrows your field of vision,

if you are considering a midlife facelift

for various reasons,

come to Inique!

With the motto of subtle, natural-looking plastic surgery,

that minimize patient discomfort.

In addition, we carry out thorough aftercare

for successful results,
