The Miracle of Looking 10 Years Younger: Reclaiming Youth with a Facelift

(A Woman in Her 60s with Improved Jawline and Nasolabial Folds)

The passage of time

comes equally to everyone,

but whenever we face

a sagging jawline and

deepening wrinkles in the mirror,

it is only natural to let out a sigh.

Especially when an important moment in life,

such as a child's wedding,

is approaching,

you may long to shine

with a younger and more beautiful appearance.

What if you could go back to the way you looked 10 years ago...?!🫢

We will take a detailed look at how a facelift can turn back the clock,

and what important points

should be considered during the process.

The most noticeable change as we age

is facial sagging.

In particular, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and

a jawline that has sagged downward

are the main factors that make you look older than your actual age.

This is the case of a woman in her 60s whose greatest concern

was that her face looked generally saggy

and older,

including hollowness under the eyes, drooping eyelids, and sagging of the forehead and eyebrows.

In particular, people with thin skin

and little facial fat

may show

more pronounced sagging.

In such cases, even after trying various procedures,

there may be limits to creating a more attractive jawline.

When energy-based devices are used,

cheek hollowing may actually become more severe or there may be a risk of burns,

while with thread lifting, the threads may show through thin skin

or cause pinching, so caution is necessary.

With fillers, too, if only volume is added while leaving the sagging tissue as it is,

the face may simply look larger,

while the sagging appearance remains,

so it often cannot be improved in a slimmer-looking way.

Ultimately, active improvement may require

a surgical approach such as a facelift.

One of the biggest concerns for people considering

a facelift

is likely scarring and an unnatural result.

The most important thing in a facelift

is a “natural-looking result.”

I use the “Deep Plane” technique,

which does not pull only the skin,

but also dissects and lifts the deeper soft tissue beneath the skin (the SMAS layer)

so that a much stronger and longer-lasting

lifting effect can be achieved.

During surgery, the incision lines are carefully placed in locations that are not easily visible,

including a temporal incision,

an incision running along the front of the ear, and

an incision extending along the hairline behind the ear.

When the tissue is lifted using the Deep Plane technique,

skin can be removed by approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm

without pulling the skin excessively and cutting it.

Looking at the postoperative photos,

you can see that the scars are

less noticeable than expected.

In particular, changes in the shape of the ears

can also be an important criterion for assessing

the signs of a facelift.

If excessive tension is placed on the skin,

there may be a pointed-ear appearance or deformation of the outer ear.

However, with the Deep Plane technique,

the soft tissue is thoroughly released and lifted

so that almost no tension is placed on the skin itself

during surgery.

This can minimize

scar widening and changes in the shape of the ears.

The most significant improvement from a facelift

appears along the jawline.

By lifting the SMAS layer,

which sags downward with age,

upward,

marionette lines and nasolabial folds are smoothed,

and the jawline becomes sharply defined.

I consider it important to perform

a “neck lift” together with a facelift.

This is because the neck area loosened by a double chin

needs to be pulled inward

in order to achieve a healthier, younger-looking appearance.

In addition, the chin may recede with age

and the lower area may become more prominent.

When a precise chin angle is created through a neck lift,

the jawline can appear much sharper and more defined,

and the surgery can be completed with a younger appearance

without sagging under the chin.

Viewed from a 45-degree angle,

you can also see improvement in the hollow areas of the cheeks.

This occurs because the tissue that was originally higher

had been pulled downward.

By lifting the tissue with the Deep Plane technique,

hollow areas can be filled

without necessarily using fat grafting or fillers.

A facelift can be described as a procedure that lifts

one’s sagging tissue

and fills deficient areas

without making the face look larger.

After surgery, the quality of the skin

is also an important factor to consider.

People with thin skin

may see good results from a facelift,

but in some cases, fine blood vessels may show through

or facial flushing may remain.

In such cases, the skin itself can be improved to look younger and healthier

through skin boosters

and various dermatological procedures.

Rather than stopping at a facelift alone,

comprehensive care is needed

that can also rejuvenate the skin.

You may also have many concerns

about the recovery period after surgery.

Depending on the hairstyle,

the incision lines are often mostly concealed,

so one advantage is that you can continue your daily life

without major disruption,

even without going through a long recovery period.

Makeup techniques have become so advanced

that after applying makeup,

you may look much younger

and appear more polished.

However, to accurately assess the effects of surgery,

it is most important to compare before-and-after photos

under the same conditions without makeup.

My goal is to perform surgery

that allows for a quick recovery,

with scars that are not highly visible

and results that do not look obvious.
