Midlife Plastic Surgery That Corrects the Causes of Aging

'Causes of Facial Aging'

Facial aging can be said to appear through changes in the overall structures that make up the face, including the skin, fat layer, muscle layer, and bones. Among these, the two most important causes are sagging of the soft tissues and loss of volume.

Therefore, in order to correct the causes of facial aging, procedures are needed to remove part of the sagging skin and restore elasticity to muscles that have lost firmness. In areas where volume loss has occurred in part, it is important to replenish the missing volume accordingly.

'Midlife Plastic Surgery That Corrects the Causes of Aging'

Midlife plastic surgery is not plastic surgery for a specific area like eye surgery or nose surgery, but a form of plastic surgery that corrects the causes of aging that occur across the face as a whole.

As mentioned earlier, facial aging does not occur in any one specific area, so comprehensive consultation and judgment are necessary to correct the overall causes of aging.

Today, I will explain through a real model case of a woman in her late 50s, which is the age group that most commonly undergoes midlife plastic surgery.

The surgical items are not determined the same way for everyone, and the necessary items can be decided through consultation with the medical staff.

First, because of sagging upper eyelids and hollowing above the eyes, she said she felt significant eye fatigue in the afternoon, so to improve this, upper blepharoplasty and supraorbital fat repositioning were decided on.

Supraorbital fat repositioning is performed together with upper blepharoplasty. It is a procedure that moves the fat pocket above the eyelid downward and fixes it in place. It creates a lubricating layer between the levator muscle, which opens the eyes, and the eyelid skin, improving the hollowing of the eyelids and making it easier to open the eyes.

Second, to improve aging under the eyes, quad-plus lower blepharoplasty was decided on.

Quad-plus lower blepharoplasty is a procedure that layers and lifts the various fat layers, skin, and muscle layer under the eyes. It improves the causes of aging under the eyes.

Third, fat grafting was decided on to improve the overall lack of facial volume.

Fat grafting is a procedure in which fat harvested from the abdomen or thighs is purified through a special machine and used to fill in the face’s lacking volume.

Fourth, a deep plane facelift was decided on to improve the overall sagging of the face.

A deep plane facelift is not a procedure that simply pulls on the skin layer. It is a lifting surgery that carefully dissects the SMAS layer, which is the deep layer of the face, and organizes the retaining ligaments to pull the facial skin and soft tissues at the same time.

Lastly, to improve the skin’s reduced elasticity, a skin booster procedure using the DermaShine injector was decided on.

Skin boosters refer to various ingredients that contain components essential for preventing skin aging, and directly delivering them into the dermis through the DermaShine injector is highly effective.

When people hear that they are undergoing several surgeries like this, many worry that the results after surgery will look unnatural.

However, with midlife plastic surgery, having a large number of surgeries or items does not make the result unnatural. Rather, correcting the causes through plastic surgery leads to a more natural outcome after surgery.

The recovery period for comprehensive midlife plastic surgery can be said to require about 10 to 14 days, considering stitch removal and the point at which daily life becomes possible.

In addition, scars from incision areas such as facelifts and upper and lower blepharoplasty may have a reddish appearance until about one month after surgery. After going through a certain period of scar maturation, they become barely noticeable.

Because midlife plastic surgery is a procedure that finds and corrects the causes of aging occurring across the face as a whole, it can be said to be a type of plastic surgery that naturally restores the feeling of 10 to 15 years ago without changing one’s original image.
