※ Directions to Ribbon Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Ribbon Plastic Surgery, located at Sinsa Station. ^ ^ Our clinic always listens carefully to each patient’s concerns and provides treatment with the goal of reflecting their needs as much as possible to deliver results.

Of course, due to the various conditions each patient has, there are times when we cannot reflect everything they want 100%, but we do our best to explain things in detail and find better alternatives.

You are probably also looking for a plastic surgery clinic because you are concerned about the traces left by time. Among these, it seems you are interested in facelift surgery and searching for before-and-after photos.

Traditional facelift surgery has the advantage of allowing you to expect noticeable results, since it involves dissection below the SMAS layer and can strongly lift sagging skin.

However, because it is a fairly major surgery, there is not only concern about scars and recovery time, but also worry about various safety issues. If these concerns are lingering in the back of your mind, you may want to consider the method introduced today.

Of course, based on more than 20 years of experience, our clinic performs facelift surgery, thread lifting, and various laser lifting procedures. Any of these can be applied in a 1:1 customized way, so after reading this post, it may be enough just to keep in mind that “there is also this kind of option.”

If you have more questions after reading or would like to receive a consultation, feel free to contact Ribbon Plastic Surgery. ^^

Three-Step Temple Lift

Our clinic performs the Three-Step Temple Lift.

You can think of this procedure as one that compensates for the shortcomings of conventional facelift surgery and thread lifting while preserving their advantages.

As mentioned earlier, facelift surgery can naturally lead to concerns about the burden of surgery and various side effects. Because of these concerns, many people are considering thread lifting.

However, with thread lifting as well, there are unavoidable concerns such as whether the effect will fall short of expectations, or whether the area near the cheekbones may become bulging.

In particular, with thread lifting, if you look at the usual design, the starting point of the thread is around the upper level of the ear or just in front of the ear canal. The sagging skin in the cheek area is lifted to this starting point to create the lift.

However, because there is a limit to where the thread can start, there is inevitably a limit to how much lifting can be achieved, and if you pull up too much, bulging near the cheekbones can occur.

Of course, this may be a good effect for Western patients who want more prominent cheekbones, but for Koreans, whose distinctive feature is already prominent cheekbones, it can be a significant limitation.

What complements the shortcomings of both thread lifting and conventional facelift surgery while preserving their strengths is the procedure called the “3-Step Temple Lift.”

The Three-Step Temple Lift is performed by starting from a point higher than the starting point of traditional thread lifting and pulling upward from there.

In addition, temple lifting is performed together with thread lifting to expect a stronger lifting effect.

You may be wondering whether temple lifting also carries the same level of concern about side effects as regular facelift surgery.

Unlike traditional facelift surgery, the incision is relatively small, and because our clinic performs the incision in a way that preserves hair roots, the incision area is not very noticeable after surgery.

In addition, because the procedure is performed directly by our chief surgeon, who has built up extensive lifting experience over more than 20 years, concerns about damage to blood vessels and nerves can be reduced.

Here is a summary of the advantages of the 3-Step Temple Lift.

| - Thread lifting and temple lifting can be performed together or separately - Lifting starts from a point higher than the starting point of traditional thread lifting, so a stronger effect can be expected and bulging of the cheekbones can be prevented - The incision is made in a way that preserves hair roots, reducing concerns about scarring - No gauze, bandages, or dressings are needed after surgery, and most daily activities are possible from the next day |

The 3-Step Temple Lift involves a small incision in the temple area, and because there is no damage to hair roots, concerns about scarring are low, and it requires a relatively short surgery time and postoperative care period.

Temple lifting and thread lifting can be performed together, but each procedure can also be performed on its own. Through a thorough consultation, you can have your current degree of skin sagging and areas of concern assessed and then make a plan.

Of course, not everyone can undergo the 3-Step Temple Lift. After determining whether each individual is a suitable candidate, we may also suggest other alternatives if it is deemed unsuitable.

Rather than focusing on a specific method and looking for information, it may be better to focus on finding medical staff who can carefully evaluate your current skin condition and create a plan accordingly.

If you need help from Ribbon Plastic Surgery, feel free to contact us. With a detailed consultation, we will do our best to find the option that can help you expect ideal results.

Thank you.
