There are so many types of lifting these days.

In this session,

for those who are wondering

which lifting treatment to get,

we will take a detailed look at

the types of lifting procedures

and which procedure is suitable in each case.

“Lift”

is the Korean way of expressing lifting.

Lifting = lift

Even though they mean the same thing,

generally

lifting seems to be perceived as closer to a “procedure,”

while lift seems to be perceived as a “surgery.”

Keeping that context in mind,

I’ll explain it in an easy way.

Lifting is

the act of pulling sagging tissue upward.

The core concept of lifting,

“vector,”

means a carrier.

In lifting, a vector is

an important factor that determines

which direction to pull up what

for the best effect.

Early lifting procedures

focused only on pulling the skin,

and over time

there were side effects such as

worsening scars

or a short duration of results.

So,

since the SMAS layer exists in the face,

a method of pulling that tissue was developed.

It was found that pulling the SMAS layer

improves the lifting effect,

and because it does not place excessive tension on the skin,

it can also reduce concern about scarring.

Depending on how much and how the SMAS layer is pulled,

the types and characteristics of lifting,

such as thread lifting, mini lifting, and facelifts,

are determined.

Pulling the SMAS layer

is not as easy as it may sound.

The more manipulation is performed,

the wider the incision range becomes,

and the longer the recovery period becomes.

So,

thread lifting, which has little downtime and involves the least manipulation of the SMAS layer,

has less swelling and bruising,

recovery is fast,

and the effect appears immediately,

so it is the easiest procedure to start with without feeling 부담.

However,

because the degree of direct manipulation of the SMAS layer is small,

the maintenance period is shorter than with other lifting procedures.

Next,

mini lifting is

a procedure that makes a small incision on the temporal side

and pulls the SMAS layer.

At Eton,

we additionally use threads

to enhance the lifting effect

in a hybrid approach.

Next,

mini SMAS lift is

surgery to manipulate the SMAS a bit more,

and the incision is made by combining a small incision in front of or behind the ear on the temporal side.

Although the incision range is somewhat wider,

it has the advantage of allowing more manipulation of the SMAS layer.

We recommend it for those who want a lifting effect

with relatively little concern about scarring

and through a comparatively simple method.

Lastly,

a facelift surgery that lifts the entire face.

The incision extends from the temporal side to the back hairline.

Because the incision range is the widest,

the SMAS layer can be pulled firmly

and the retaining ligaments can also be repositioned,

so the most dramatic effect can be achieved.

Facelift surgery

has the best effect,

but since it is a surgical method with a somewhat long downtime,

it must be decided carefully.

In the meantime,

there are various procedures/surgeries,

so

because you need to consider your skin condition and desired results,

the degree of treatment needed,

the time you can invest,

and the expected downtime,

please make sure to decide only after充分 consultation with an experienced specialist.
