If you’re worried about side effects, recovery time, or scarring from facelift surgery near Sinsa Station, read this.

As skin ages, the outer corners of the eyes noticeably droop.

The skin across the face has deep wrinkles and sagging, so I’m considering a facelift.

As fat and skin sag at the same time, the jawline is no longer smooth.

I want to improve pronounced nasolabial folds, jowls, and sagging cheek volume together.

After getting a thread lift, the cheek area seems to have gathered together, making the face shape look strange.

Are you currently looking into "facelift surgery near Sinsa Station" because of concerns like these?

Especially if you are worried about symptoms such as a drooping outer eye corner, a lumpy facial contour, nasolabial folds, jowls, or sagging cheeks, please focus on the article that follows.

We will also explain in an easy-to-understand way how to help prevent side effects, recovery time, and scarring.

As we age, skin sagging is a natural phenomenon. The problem is that it can not only bring cosmetic concerns, but also cause various functional discomforts.

For example, when the outer corners of the eyes sag, they can give a tired and heavy-looking impression while also causing inflammatory issues such as chafing at the eye corners. These inflammations can also negatively affect the eyes themselves, and there is a high possibility that they may develop into inflammatory conditions such as keratitis or conjunctivitis.

In addition to the eye corners, skin sagging can blur the facial contour and make the "nasolabial folds," a symbol of middle age, appear deeper.

These days, there are even claims that the retirement age should be beyond 60. This means that people are healthy enough to work even after passing the usual retirement age.

Views on beauty have also changed a lot, and many people want to correct their skin while they are still one year younger so they can age beautifully. Perhaps because of this, the proportion of people in their 50s and 60s and older inquiring about "facelift surgery" has risen sharply recently.

However, facelift surgery involves a large incision from the hairline to behind the ear, and because the surgery must be performed while considering the facial nerves as a whole, the level of risk is also relatively high.

From the patient’s perspective, the cost and possible side effects are inevitable burdens, and from the surgeon’s perspective, it is something that must be approached with several times more tension and caution.

That is why mini facelift surgery, which lifts specific points and focuses on lifting certain areas to reduce the various burdens, is drawing attention these days.

The surgery that can improve the eyelid droop mentioned earlier, refine facial lines, address nasolabial folds, cheek volume, and jowls is the "temple lift," also called a "temple facelift."

What is a temple lift (3-step temple lift)?

A three-step temple lift refers to a procedure in which an incision is made in the scalp above the ear, then the tissue is pulled diagonally toward the temple to correct sagging skin on the side of the face.

If the outer corner of the eye has drooped unattractively downward, its angle can be adjusted so that the result looks natural and not obviously surgical. It also has the effect of lifting the loose skin above the nasolabial folds, helping to refine the jawline and efficiently lift the side of the face.

However, if the skin is pulled up too much, it can create an overly raised outer eye corner, so both patients and surgeons should avoid excessive expectations.

Recently, people who feel that the cheek area became tense after a thread lift, making the cheekbones look larger or more protruding, have also been preferring temple lift surgery.

In a typical thread lift, threads are inserted into the cheek area and pulled upward. If the tension is too strong, the force inevitably concentrates on the cheekbones. A temple lift, on the other hand, lifts from above that area, so it may also help distribute the gathered cheek tissue upward.

This is why not only people in their 50s and 60s but also younger adults in their 20s and 30s prefer temple lift surgery.

Points to note about the three-step temple lift? Because there are so many lifting procedures available these days, there are still quite a few people who feel burdened by surgical treatments such as temple lift surgery.

Even though it is not a full facelift that lifts the entire face, the fact that it involves an "incision" likely causes anxiety, right?

Facelift surgery is indeed a heavy burden for patients because it requires a fairly large incision and lifting while taking the facial nerves into account.

However, the three-step temple lift involves making a small incision in a hair-covered area and then lifting up to the SMAS layer while considering the side facial nerves.

It also requires the surgeon’s experience, but because the surgical area is limited compared with facelift surgery, the burden is lighter.

Since the incision area contains hair follicles that produce hair, our clinic makes a diagonal incision to protect the follicles in advance.

Please keep in mind that our clinic prioritizes patient safety above all else during surgery.

If you visit our clinic for a three-step temple lift, you can check through simulation what kind of changes you may achieve.
