Skin that is cracked and sagging unattractively is one of the concerns many people have around this time of life. Skin sagging is a very natural phenomenon that appears as we get older.

Nevertheless, if you have a job that involves meeting many people or are especially sensitive about appearance, some people experience great burden and stress from the change of their skin sagging alone.

Recently, as life expectancy has increased, there are quite a few people who continue to worry about their skin even after their 50s and 60s.

If this overlaps with menopause, it can even lead to psychiatric problems such as depression, irritability, and anxiety, so if you are normally very interested in your skin, it would be better to prepare in advance.

There are broadly two ways to lift the skin: surgical treatment and procedure-based treatment. Surgical treatment literally works by dissecting the skin tissue and pulling it upward, so you can expect a clear before-and-after change and long-lasting results.

On the other hand, procedures improve the deeper layers of the skin, so it is difficult to get the desired effect with just one session, and the inconvenience is that at least three sessions must be repeated.

That does not mean procedures are definitely worse than surgery. There is a suitable method for each individual, so after sufficient consultation, it is important to apply the appropriate method and establish a customized treatment plan.

Among these, what I will introduce today is 'facial lift', that is, 'surgical lifting'.

Among those reading this post, there are probably definitely some people who feel burdened by surgery itself because the 'face lift price' is too expensive.

In the following article, I will focus on the '3-step temple lift' recommended for people like that.

Face lift surgery: what if it is financially burdensome?

Our medical team at Ribone Plastic Surgery also meets dozens of patients a day who come in for lifting-related concerns. The age range is also broad, and once people are over 40, many say that if they are going to have surgery anyway, they want to lift everything overall. Depending on the patient’s skin condition, there are also people who say that discussing the price is still burdensome.

Face lift surgery is an operation that pulls up the entire face, and because of that, the facial nerves and blood vessels must be carefully examined. For that reason, the surgery time is long, and the medical team’s expertise is required accordingly.

So the price being high is not just true at Ribone Plastic Surgery, but for all the plastic surgery clinics you may have looked into. In that case, the quickest route is to find a way to improve the problematic areas while reducing costs as much as possible.

Temple lift surgery is a suitable method for such people, and because it can refine the face’s 'line,' it is a surgery considered by people across various age groups.

What are the effects of the 3-step temple lift?

The temple refers to the area from between the eyes and ears to the upper part of the ear hidden by hair.

Among these, temple lift surgery is an operation that makes an incision in the part hidden by hair and applies lifting for the purpose of lifting the side of the face.

Which part causes you the most stress as your skin sags?

The surgical range may differ depending on the patient’s needs, but usually after the 30s, as the SMAS layer begins to loosen, the lower cheeks protrude, nasolabial folds become more pronounced, and the cheek fat above them sags, bringing about various changes.

If you naturally have some facial volume, the jawline may collapse, making the face look larger or the line appear uneven.

Improving the sagging in these areas is what can be called the '3-step temple lift.'

Also, if the outer corners of the eyes are excessively drooping due to aging, and it is difficult to improve the overall atmosphere by simply improving the eye structure, the temple is incised and pulled diagonally to help prevent sagging at the eye corners.

However, because the results of this 3-step temple lift can vary depending on the direction and force of the pull, we recommend that you make a decision about whether to have surgery only after receiving careful consultation and diagnosis from a plastic surgery specialist with many years of experience.

If the temple is incised improperly, the hair follicles can be damaged, and if the hair follicles are damaged, hair will not grow, which can cause hair loss in that area.

Also, since important nerves are located there, please choose a plastic surgery clinic that has extensive experience with 'temple lift surgery' itself. If you visit Ribone Plastic Surgery, you can receive detailed consultation.

Then, let's talk in more detail in the next post. Thank you for reading this long post. :)
