Gangnam Station Facelift: If Your Face Looks Like This, the Change Will Be Clear

Would a facelift be right for me?

If you're 고민된다면

Check by face type

Hello, this is Ruho Plastic Surgery.

There is a question we often hear during consultations.

It is:

'Would a facelift work for me?'

When firmness decreases, it becomes difficult to resist the effects of gravity. This leads to sagging in the face.

Compared with when you were younger, if your face feels heavier and looks less clear, many people think of a facelift as an option and ask about its effectiveness.

However, depending on face shape, skin thickness, and the location of fat, signs of aging appear differently.

The key to effective lifting starts with understanding your own facial condition.

Today, we’ll explain in detail what a Gangnam Station facelift is and which face types can see the most effect.

Faces with clear changes (1), cheek sagging type

When the middle of the face has collapsed

This refers to a face where the area below the cheekbones and the nasolabial fold area have sagged.

As the midface collapses, the expression looks tired and aged.

In this case, a midface lift that pulls up the SMAS layer (the fascial layer) is appropriate.

The key point is that the process corrects the 'deep tissue layer' rather than the surface of the skin.

Through this, you can naturally see improvements in sagging around the mouth and cheek volume.

Faces with clear changes (2), jawline looseness type

When the facial contour has collapsed

'Doctor, as I’ve gotten older, my jawline has disappeared and I look like I have a double chin.'

Most people who say this have this type.

For these patients, a lower facelift is a good option.

⭐ Organize loose tissue ⭐ Firmly secure along the jawline

The contour becomes more defined and the expression looks more refined. In particular, this is a good method for middle-aged men with thick skin and reduced elasticity.

Faces with clear changes (3), combined type

When reduced elasticity and fat sagging occur together

A combined type in which facial elasticity decreases and fat sagging appears at the same time usually progresses after the late 40s.

Cheek sagging, jawline collapse, and reduced skin elasticity occur simultaneously.

Depending on the patient, combining a facelift with fat repositioning or microfat grafting can look natural.

Rather than a face that has been 'pulled tight,' this can give a soft impression that feels like the original structure has been restored.

Mini facelift vs. facelift: which is right?

People looking into a Gangnam Station facelift often ask whether a mini facelift would also be okay.

Both procedures aim for lifting, but they differ in scope and longevity.

Mini facelift	Facelift
Smaller incision range and faster recovery	Broad correction from below the cheekbones to the jawline and the front of the neck
Suitable for mild skin sagging and those in their early 40s or younger	Fixes the fascial layer to provide relatively long-lasting results

Mini facelift (improving early signs of aging)

Facelift (correcting structural sagging) are selected according to the goal.

At Ruho Plastic Surgery near Gangnam Station, we analyze the causes of sagging by age group

and provide customized lifting procedures such as mini facelifts, facelifts, and neck lifts.

Worried about scars from a facelift.

Along with facelift results, one of the most common concerns is scarring.

Many people worry, 'Will the scar be very noticeable, as in the Gangnam Station facelift reviews I saw?'

At our clinic, we make the incision along the crease in front of the ear so that the scar can be concealed.

After designing the incision line according to the anatomical structure of the skin, we perform precise suturing to reduce scar visibility.

'Wrinkle reduction' is not difficult.

However, a facelift that creates a naturally firm face must be precisely designed for each face.

At Ruho Plastic Surgery, we carefully examine the skin condition and wrinkle depth of patients who need lifting procedures.

Because it is a solution that should be performed after 충분한 consultation and examination, if you need help, it would be good to refer to today’s article carefully.
