If You Decide Based Only on Before-and-After Photos for Gangnam Mini Facelift, You’ll End Up Regretting It

Hello. We are Reborn Plastic Surgery, a clinic that studies how to help you regain a natural youthful look. As a plastic surgery clinic that has been serving near Sinsa Station for over 20 years, we always do our best not to let down the expectations of those who trust us and visit us. ^^

Recently, as the age group of people who are active in society has risen, we have been receiving a great deal of inquiries about anti-aging plastic surgery.

"My face has sagged a lot, so I’m thinking about getting a facelift once, but it seems like too big an operation, so I’m hesitant. What about a mini facelift?"

"It feels like thread lifting would be insufficient, but a full facelift also feels too burdensome...."

I think many of you are likely visiting a plastic surgery clinic while carrying concerns similar to those above. You may have already heard rumors about our clinic’s "3-step temple lift" and be considering a consultation. ^^

Of course, we are grateful whenever you visit our plastic surgery clinic, but we hope you do not make decisions too hastily. First, based on our experience so far, we will write about mini facelift surgery below.

It would be good if, after reading this, you come in when you feel it would be helpful to have a more detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

About mini facelift surgery

A loss of skin elasticity, sagging, and wrinkles are natural changes that everyone experiences with age. In general, aging begins in the mid-20s, and by the 30s to 40s, the amount of components within the skin that are involved in skin elasticity decreases, and aging begins to accelerate.

As the saying goes, no one can win against time, and because aging cannot be reversed through willpower alone, it is only natural to find yourself 고민중. That is why you may be looking into lift surgery as well.

In the past, it was a procedure mainly performed on middle-aged and older adults, but recently it has increasingly been sought out by younger patients as well, so the age range is gradually getting younger.

In general, a lift procedure is performed by making a skin incision and pulling up sagging skin and soft tissue. It can help fundamentally improve overall sagging and wrinkles.

However, if you consider the long recovery period and scarring, it is not a procedure you can decide on lightly. That is why our clinic recommends the less burdensome mini facelift called the "3-step temple lift" to those who feel this kind of pressure.

3-Step Temple Lift?

A facelift is generally a method that involves extensive surgery on the entire face through incisions from the hairline to the earlobe and behind the ear.

By contrast, our clinic’s mini facelift, the 3-step temple lift, is performed by making a small incision in the scalp near the temple area. By pulling up the loosened SMAS layer and the skin surface at the same time and performing fine suturing, it can help improve elasticity from deep within the skin and visibly lift sagging cheeks and the skin surface around the jawline.

Of course, because the incision is smaller than in a conventional facelift, the effect may be somewhat less. However, if you were disappointed by the burden of a facelift or the limited effect of non-surgical lifting methods, I can confidently say that the 3-step temple lift can be a good alternative.

The 3-step temple lift can also be a good option for those who were concerned about cheekbone prominence with existing thread lifting or were dissatisfied with its limited effects and duration.

The threads used in ordinary thread lifting are 7 to 8 cm cog threads, and they are usually inserted and pulled from a point near the upper level of the ear or around the front of the ear canal. At this time, if the sagging cheek skin is pulled up close to the starting point, excess skin remains, so the effect can be insufficient, and in particular, a bulging appearance near the cheekbones may occur.

At our clinic, we custom-make and use longer threads, and because they are inserted and pulled from a higher point than the usual starting point, the procedure can help prevent the cheekbone area from standing out while providing more satisfying results.

In addition, during the temple lift, the incision is made while preserving the hair follicles, so hair will grow back after surgery and cover the incision area. If you have been considering surgery because of scarring, you may not need to worry too much.

Although everyone may have similar concerns such as aging, sagging, and wrinkles, each person’s current condition differs in age, degree of sagging, wrinkle depth, and more.

First of all, it is important to find a plastic surgery clinic that can carefully check each person’s current condition, concerns, and needs and then suggest an appropriate solution accordingly.

Please keep this in mind when looking for a clinic, as it will be a great help in finding a place that can restore natural beauty.
