there is an abundance of anti-aging cosmetics,

procedures, and surgeries,

but also overall facial elasticity and contours.

Please learn about the types of anti-aging plastic surgery and the secrets to success,

as explained by Director Baek In-su of Garnet Plastic Surgery,

through the article below!

As indoor mask rules have been lifted and social gatherings have increased, interest in youthful-looking faces has grown. From anti-aging cosmetics to various dermatology procedures and at-home beauty devices, there is no shortage of options, but many middle-aged people say it is hard to see noticeable results and that they no longer want to look in the mirror. What can provide the most natural yet dramatic anti-aging effect? The answer is anti-aging plastic surgery.

Anti-aging plastic surgery is a method that comprehensively considers not only visible wrinkles, but also the overall harmony of the face, including skin elasticity and contours, and is one of the most reliable ways to achieve a younger-than-age appearance on your own face. We spoke with Director Baek In-su of Garnet Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong about what kinds of anti-aging plastic surgery exist, how to achieve clear results, and how to undergo anti-aging plastic surgery more safely.

Make the eye area look clearer and younger: upper and lower blepharoplasty

The area that first gives the impression of being “aged” on our face is the eye area. The skin around the eyes is thin and has fewer sebaceous glands than other areas, so wrinkles form easily. As elasticity decreases around the eyes, the eyelids gradually droop, and fat under the eyes protrudes more noticeably, leading to various signs of aging. If the skin around the eyes makes you look older, upper and lower blepharoplasty can create a clearer, younger-looking eye area. Upper blepharoplasty removes and firmly fixes sagging skin and fat from the upper eye area, while lower blepharoplasty removes and repositions the lower fat. Because these procedures use minimal incisions and then carefully close the wound with very fine sutures, concerns about postoperative side effects or surgical scars can be reduced.

Director Baek In-su said, “Methods such as getting Botox for wrinkles and elasticity around the eyes or injecting foreign substances such as fillers can instead cause side effects such as inflammation or swelling in the body. Their effects are also temporary and require repeated injections or treatments at regular intervals, but anti-aging eye surgery solves the root cause of aging around the eyes, so the effect can last for more than 10 years. Above all, it can avoid side effects such as inflammation and swelling.”

Solving multiple concerns at once: facelift

The facelift procedure, which repositions sagging tissue and lifts facial expressions and the fascia to improve contours and firmness, is also a classic anti-aging surgery. Because it lifts from the SMAS layer, which is deeper than the dermis beneath the skin, the incision area is wider than with upper and lower blepharoplasty. However, it can deliver more definite results and lasts longer. It is mainly recommended when aging has progressed a bit more and the face has sagged and loosened overall, when laser or thread-lift procedures have been repeated many times without much effect, or when the boundary between the jaw and neck has become unclear and elasticity has decreased.

Since most incision areas run along the hairline or around the front and back boundaries of the ears, down to behind the earlobe, and not where major nerves pass, the risk of facial nerve damage is almost nonexistent. With a single surgery, it is possible to achieve comprehensive improvement in wrinkles, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, the eyes, and even the neck.

You must have sufficient consultation with a skilled and experienced specialist

According to Director Baek In-su, as anti-aging plastic surgery has become much more mainstream than before, many people tend to think of it as a very simple operation or merely a procedure that can easily be done in a department other than plastic surgery. In particular, as unverified information has increased on the internet and in videos, many patients decide for themselves what surgery to have and how to have it, then insist on their choice without listening to the doctor’s opinion. Director Baek emphasizes that anti-aging plastic surgery is certainly a procedure with relatively few side effects, but it is by no means easy, and because it is surgery performed on the face, it is essential to receive a detailed consultation from a specialist with extensive clinical experience and refined expertise. In particular, he advises that if a clinic is not run by a board-certified plastic surgeon and speaks as if all problems can be solved with just one surgical method that they themselves can perform, it should definitely be avoided. Since each person has a different facial structure, degree of aging, and face shape, sufficient communication with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can handle the entire face is necessary to achieve satisfying results and reduce side effects.
