What Effects Can Be Achieved by Combining Stem Cell Injections with a Facelift?

Recently, the keywords gaining attention in both plastic surgery and aesthetics seem to be “youthful-face surgery” and “anti-aging.”

People who are relatively older often visit clinics to achieve a youthful-looking face,

or, even if they are not that old, to receive various anti-aging treatments as part of preventing aging.

As people get older, they experience skin aging, such as sagging and loosening skin.

These symptoms tend to spread over a wider area and become more severe with age.

For this reason, many middle-aged people consider a procedure called a “facelift” to lift sagging skin and improve deepening wrinkles.

Recently, the preference has been growing for procedures that combine a representative middle-aged lifting treatment, the facelift, with stem cell skin injections that regenerate skin cells damaged and reduced by aging and fundamentally improve various signs of skin aging, thereby maximizing anti-aging effects.

Not only does a facelift pull the skin deeply and widely down to the SMAS layer,

but by also performing stem cell treatment that heals and regenerates damaged cells,

it is expected to provide a firmer, healthier youthful-skin effect through benefits such as collagen regeneration, improved elasticity and wrinkles, improved skin tone and texture,

and strengthened skin immunity and skin barrier.

A stem cell facelift is for people who are considering facelift surgery but feel burdened by concerns about scarring and a long recovery period because the incision range is larger than that of general lifting procedures.

By combining stem cell skin injections, which help skin regeneration and recovery, it can reduce concerns about scars and allow for faster recovery.

This is a patient who underwent a facelift combined with stem cell skin injections.

The stem cell skin injection procedure was performed on the 4th day after surgery,

and on the 4th day after the facelift, bruising is clearly visible and the skin color appears dark.

The skin sutures were removed separately on the 7th and 10th days after surgery,

and as time passed, the bruising gradually decreased.

By around the 12th day after the facelift / the 8th day after the stem cell skin injection,

the bruising had decreased sharply and the skin color had improved significantly.

It can be seen that recovery was somewhat faster by combining stem cell skin injections.

A facelift itself is a surgery that can place stress on the skin,

and because the recovery period is long, it may not be an easy procedure to decide on.

It may be recommended for people who are worried about scars or a long recovery period.

Depending on the patient’s age and skin condition, better results can be expected even if the facelift and stem cell skin injection are performed separately.

However, for people in their 40s to 70s,

a noticeable overall facial sagging due to decreased elasticity,

skin that appears to lack firmness and does not feel healthy,

or a desire for a clear and strong improvement in skin aging

may make a stem cell facelift a recommended option.

A stem cell facelift goes beyond simple lifting; it is a lift that makes the skin itself younger and healthier.

If you want a natural result while still achieving sufficient improvement,

it is important to create a plan suited to each individual through thorough consultation with specialized medical staff.
