A clinic that follows the principles of plastic surgery, Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic
The most important thing in plastic surgery is to stick to the basics. Plastic surgery should be designed with a person’s lifelong future in mind. Plastic surgery must be safe in both process and results. Globi always puts the customer first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help you be satisfied with the surgical results, we promise customized consultations with medical staff who have extensive clinical experience.
Postoperative care can also be considered an extension of surgery. To help patients recover quickly, we provide customized care programs.

When considering a facelift,

the first wall you face is 'cost.'

Although the estimates vary considerably from clinic to clinic,

it is rare for anyone to clearly explain why.

So if the cost is low, you may feel uneasy for that reason,

and if it is high, you may wonder, "Isn’t this excessive?"

A facelift can vary greatly in surgical time and even in how long the results last,

depending on the design method and the depth of dissection.

Therefore, rather than focusing on the number in the estimate,

it is much more important to first understand what is included in that number.

If you read this article to the end,

you will have a standard that lets you look not only at cost,

but also at the design method and the recovery process together.

Cost differences,

You should look at the 'design' before the numbers

Facelift Cost

One thing people who come in for consultations

say in common is this:

I checked several places, but the prices are so different.

I don’t know what’s different.

It is a completely natural question, and we also address this first

every time we consult with a patient.

Even if a procedure carries the same name, 'facelift,'

if the layer the surgery actually reaches is different, the results and longevity

can be completely different procedures.

To explain a little more, beneath the skin of the face,

there is the subcutaneous fat layer, and below that is the

muscle fascia layer called the SMAS.

The results of a facelift can vary depending on

how this SMAS layer is handled.

The key lies in the 'dissection (layer separation).'

In other words, only by precisely separating the space between the retaining ligaments and the fascia (SMAS)

can a broad area be lifted naturally without the look of being forcibly pulled.

A method that simply pulls and closes the skin layer

has a shorter operation time and is generally less expensive.

However, because skin is elastic and tends to stretch again over time,

this recoil has a significant effect on long-term results.

By contrast, lifting the SMAS layer together

supports the facial structure itself,

so the results tend to look more three-dimensional,

and the effects also tend to last longer.

Of course, a facelift is not the right answer for everyone.

Rather than recommending an unnecessary surgery, Globi follows the principle of

first presenting the option that would be most beneficial for the patient.

The first thing we check during consultation is exactly this:

Does this person actually need surgery right now?

The recovery process is much less unsettling once you know what to expect

Once you have checked the cost and the design,

the next most common questions are about recovery.

How long does the swelling last?

How much pain is there?

When can I wash my face?

Many people find the time they face after returning home from surgery

the most daunting.

So I will explain it as concretely as possible.

First, swelling is at its worst about 72 hours after surgery,

and it noticeably decreases within 1 to 2 weeks.

Pain varies by person, but for a few days right after surgery,

a pulling sensation and a heavy, uncomfortable feeling may occur,

and in most cases, it can be sufficiently controlled with pain medication.

It is best to allow about 3 to 6 months for the swelling to fully subside

and for the tissue to settle naturally.

Some people judge the results too quickly,

but since this is a natural process as the tissue settles,

you do not need to be overly impatient.

Before stitch removal, when washing your face,

the incision area should not come into direct contact with water.

When drying off, do not rub the area around the incision with a towel;

instead, gently press it to absorb moisture.

Stitches are usually removed around 7 days after surgery,

after which a gradual return to daily life is possible.

Sleeping position is also important.

In the early stage, keeping your head higher than your heart helps reduce swelling,

and sleeping on your side may put unnecessary pressure on the incision area,

so it is best to avoid it if possible.

A facelift is a surgery in which the process is just as important as the results.

Simply knowing about the surgery in advance can help reduce trial and error.

It is Globi’s principle to transparently share the information patients must know,

as well as the possibility of side effects.

Rather than focusing first on the cost estimate, we recommend being evaluated for

which approach is right for your case.

That small difference can determine the result 10 years later.

※ Depending on individual characteristics, plastic surgery may cause side effects such as

bleeding, infection, and nerve damage, and sufficient consultation with a specialist is necessary.
