For Those Looking for Zygomatic Cheek Sagging Lift Surgery, Please Read to the End.

Hello. We are ‘Re:Born Plastic Surgery,’ meeting you at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station.

This topic is <temple lift>, also called a temporal lift.

To save your valuable time, we will only guide those who truly need this article, so if even one of the following applies to you, please read to the end.

If this applies to you, do not miss this post.

| ▲ You have naturally drooping outer eye corners, so people often tell you that you look “pitiful.” ▲ Due to aging, the area around your eyes has started to sag, and your eyes now look like they have a drooping expression. ▲ Your outer eye corners droop too much, and you want to change that direction. ▲ Your cheekbones, jawline fat, and deep cheek fat have sagged, making your facial contours look blurred. ▲ You want to improve the side profile of your face. |

│What is a temple lift (hereinafter referred to as a Three-Step Temple Lift)?

When people think of a “lift surgery,” the first thing that usually comes to mind is a facelift.

It is a procedure that makes a long incision from behind one ear, across the entire hairline, and to behind the opposite ear to improve overall facial sagging.

A facelift has various advantages, such as ▲ being able to lift the entire face and ▲ the effects lasting a long time after surgery. However, it is also true that it comes with inconveniences such as △ a long incision line, which increases the likelihood of scarring, △ a long recovery period, and △ high cost.

Also, these days, many people want to receive correction in advance before the skin sags further, so rather than a facelift, which can be burdensome in several ways, many people choose a mini lift.

Among these, the Three-Step Temple Lift is a type of mini lift that can improve drooping outer eye corners and the side profile line.

It is performed by making a small incision in the temple area hidden by the hair, then pulling the skin and SMAS layer in the desired direction, removing excess tissue, and closing the incision.

Because the incision is not exposed externally, daily life is possible immediately after surgery, and since it also improves facial contour, many people who value the “side line” are taking an interest in it.

The effects of a Three-Step Temple Lift can largely be divided into two categories.

│Effects of a Three-Step Temple Lift

1. It lifts drooping outer eye corners horizontally or to the height desired by the patient, creating an overall change in impression.

2. It pulls up the sagging side line, so you can expect a much stronger lifting effect than with ultrasound, radiofrequency, or laser lifting.

The outer eye corner plays a very important role in determining a person’s impression.

If the outer eye corners are severely drooping, it can easily create an impression of being pitiful or dull, and as people age, it can make them look older than they actually are.

When it is not the eyelids as a whole that are sagging, but the direction of the outer eye corners themselves is drooping, eye surgery alone has limitations, so correcting it through a Three-Step Temple Lift is efficient.

Also, as people age, the SMAS layer (a thin membrane between the subcutaneous fat and muscle layers that exists wherever there is skin) begins to sag, worsening nasolabial folds and deep cheek fat.

At this point as well, using a Three-Step Temple Lift allows simultaneous lifting of the SMAS layer and skin from the lower area up to the temple region, so a firmer result can be expected compared to general thread lifting.

│What should you be careful about during a Three-Step Temple Lift?

① Do not damage the hair follicles.

The temple area is part of the scalp, so the “hair follicles” and “hair roots” that grow hair are located there.

If this area is handled incorrectly during the incision, it can cause the unfortunate outcome of hair no longer growing there permanently.

To prevent this problem, at Re:Born Plastic Surgery, we perform incisions only with an “oblique incision,” avoiding the hair follicles and hair roots.

Immediately after surgery, the incision is hidden by other hair and is not easily visible, and over time, hair grows from the incision area as well, allowing the scalp to remain as it was before.

② The SMAS layer must be properly dissected.

Although such cases are now rare, in the past, lift surgeries often only pulled the skin, causing it to return to its original state over time.

The reason is that skin is composed of multiple layers, and if only the outer surface is pulled, the looseness underneath remains, continuously pulling down the skin above.

In particular, the SMAS layer firmly holds the upper skin in place through retaining ligaments, so it is important to cleanly dissect this area and lift the skin.

When this surgical method is applied, lifting can be performed more stably, and a natural shape can be maintained even after surgery.

Because the Three-Step Temple Lift involves making an incision in the temple area, where the chewing muscles used when eating and the various connected nerves and blood vessels are located, it is important to choose a medical team with excellent experience.

Otherwise, there may be problems with the function of the chewing muscles, and it can also lead to facial muscle paralysis.

To prepare for such side effects in advance, Re:Born Plastic Surgery has conducted sufficient research and surgeries, and we carefully establish individualized surgical plans through one-on-one consultations with the director.

If you are concerned about drooping outer eye corners or a broad side profile, please consider consulting about the Three-Step Temple Lift.

We will return in the next post with more useful information.

Thank you for reading until the end.
