Hello.

We are Inique Plastic Surgery,

a Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic.

Wrinkles that were not noticeable in your 20s

become more visible as you age,

because skin elasticity decreases

and muscle strength also weakens,

leading to signs of aging.

One day, when you suddenly look in the mirror

and face these deep wrinkles, it can make you

realize aging has arrived, and many people

become highly interested in anti-aging.

However, the reality is that anti-aging products

used at home or massage alone have limits

when it comes to improving deep wrinkles or

preventing aging.

So, the number of people in their 50s

visiting a Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic

to consult about lifting procedures is

growing rapidly.

Lifting can broadly be divided into two types:

thread lifting and incision lifting.

Today, we will explain in detail the types

of lifting procedures offered by our

Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic,

which can help create a more youthful look.

First, thread lifting is a lifting procedure

that improves sagging without an incision

by using lifting threads. It is a method that

selects suitable lifting threads according to

the degree and area of sagging to improve it.

At Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic,

thread lifting is used for areas such as the

nasal tip, nasolabial folds, deep cheek area,

sagging jawline, and neck wrinkles. It is needed

when facial elasticity has generally declined,

when you want to define the facial contour more

clearly, when you want to improve elasticity

without surgery, or when you want to improve

skin sagging that occurs after contour surgery,

fat grafting, or minimally invasive procedures.

At Inique, a Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic,

we use different lifting threads depending on

the degree and area of sagging.

Among the four types of lifting threads,

Elastique, in particular, is a new material made

with a special band of silicone and polyester.

It is recommended because it is the most

elastic among currently available lifting threads

and causes less foreign-body sensation.

Thread lifting at Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic

is a simpler procedure than incision lifting,

features a faster recovery, and has the advantage

of minimizing scarring because it is performed

with only a minimal incision.

In contrast, incision lifting at Gangnam lifting

plastic surgery clinic is a surgical lifting method

that involves making an incision in the skin,

dissecting it, and pulling the SMAS layer.

The recovery period takes about 7 days,

but the results tend to last a long time,

around 10 years.

Unlike thread lifting, which improves wrinkles

such as the jawline or nasolabial folds,

incision lifting can improve everything from fine

lines to deep wrinkles, and it is highly effective

for correcting facial contours and for people in

the middle-aged and older adult groups.

In particular, Gangnam lifting plastic surgery clinic

Inique has had its unique technical expertise

recognized through a trademark application for

Dual Incision Lifting with the Korean Intellectual

Property Office.

Dual incision lifting refers to the clinic’s signature

procedure, in which the SMAS layer beneath the

dermis is lifted upward to the same position as in

your 20s, while the excess skin is pulled outward

and removed, returning the face to a state as close

as possible to how it looked in your 20s.

Both thread lifting and incision lifting can greatly

change the appearance of the face even with a

small procedure, so the skill of the medical team

and the procedure method are very important.

The medical staff at Gangnam lifting plastic surgery

clinic have extensive clinical experience based on

many surgeries, and because they have anatomical

knowledge of the skin, you can trust them and,

when you visit, obtain satisfying results.

Rather than offering a one-sided or standardized

surgical method, we identify each patient’s needs

and suggest a method that can bring out their

individual characteristics and personality.

If you are in your 50s or 60s and are interested in

lifting plastic surgery, visit Inique, a Gangnam lifting

plastic surgery clinic, and receive a more detailed

consultation!
