While consulting with patients in the clinic,

there is one thing customers in their mid-30s to 40s say most often.

"Doctor, I never used to look like this, but I feel like my face is getting longer and longer."

As we age,

the phenomenon where the midface (the distance from under the eyes to above the lips)

appears longer is one of the natural processes of aging.

Many people try hard to hide this by creating shading with contouring,

or by styling their hair to add volume on the sides.

But I think everyone can relate.

Makeup and hair are only temporary stopgap measures,

and they do not solve the fundamental problem of a sagging facial line in the mirror.

Today, I would like to speak honestly as a plastic surgeon about

how to stop investing time and money every day and,

without surgery, make the midface structurally shorter and more defined.

  1. Why does the face look longer? The key is "gravity"

To make a lengthened midface actually look shorter,

physical change is necessary.

The key is to restore the tissue of the cheek that has sagged downward due to gravity

back to its original higher position.

This is not simply about pulling the skin.

✓ Add natural volume to the sunken upper cheek

✓ At the same time, improve the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth and the nasolabial folds

Only then is the three-dimensional, youthful-looking face we want completed.

  1. If surgery feels scary and standard thread lifting felt disappointing

As a board-certified plastic surgeon,

I perform a variety of procedures, including eye surgery. But in the lifting area, many people are hesitant about major procedures

such as a facelift.

This is due to concerns about scars, a long recovery period, and side effects.

So many people choose thread lifting as an alternative. But among those who have had standard thread lifting, there are also quite a few who end up disappointed.

💬 "The effect is much too subtle." 💬 "After a few months, it seemed to sag again." (short duration) 💬 "My cheekbones look bigger, so my face looks wider." (more prominent lateral cheekbones) 💬 "The area where the thread passed became indented." (dimple phenomenon)

Is there a way to overcome these limitations while preserving the advantages of quick and simple recovery?

The procedure I devised and perfected after this concern is <Peach Silhouette Lifting>.

  1. The solution that overcomes the limitations: "Peach Silhouette Lifting"

Peach Silhouette Lifting is a procedure that changes the paradigm of conventional thread lifting.

① It pulls in a "vertical" direction, not a horizontal one.

If conventional thread lifting pulled the face sideways and could make it look wider,

Peach Silhouette Lifting uses a special thread called "Silhouette Soft"

to reposition the tissue in a vertical direction.

Thanks to this, the face does not spread out, and the midface length is effectively reduced.

② It addresses volume and wrinkles at the same time.

In addition, I use four lines of Peach threads and fixation threads that I designed myself.

This is solely to restore volume to the upper cheek and improve deep nasolabial folds.

It also improves even the difficult lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and forehead fixation helps restore three-dimensionality to the front and side cheeks.

  1. The difference in results comes from "experience" and "design"

"If the same thread is used, why are the results different?"

Because lifting is not done by the thread itself,

but by the doctor’s technique and sense of design.

[Gangnam/Sinnonhyeon] If a Lengthened Midface Won’t Be Hidden by Makeup, What Can You Do? How to Shorten It Without Surgery (Peach Silhouette Lifting) image 2 I have been researching anti-aging procedures for the past 20 years,

and as a "Blue/Black Label" key doctor recognized by the Silhouette Soft headquarters,

I have one of the highest numbers of procedure cases in Korea.

Through countless clinical experiences,

I have solid know-how on how to perform lifting without emphasizing the lateral cheekbones,

and how to pull naturally without dimples.

  1. We help you regain the joy of everyday life

A face that felt heavy every time you looked in the mirror,

I will help make it lighter through Peach Silhouette Lifting.

Safe and powerful without surgery, and above all, natural.

With a face that looks younger than your age and a shortened midface,

the restored confidence will make your everyday life more enjoyable.

If you are concerned about midface aging,

I recommend visiting Just Plastic Surgery for an in-person consultation with me.

I will suggest a one-on-one design that fits your facial shape and aging condition exactly.

Thank you.
