The Scope of Consultation and Surgery for Comprehensive Middle-Age Plastic Surgery

When doing anti-aging consultations, people have a wide range of needs, and some even bring old photos from the past.

Usually, they bring photos from their younger days or from about 15 years ago, and sometimes surgery consultations are carried out based on those old photos.

A woman in her late 50s brought a photo of herself from about 15 years ago.

When compared with the past photo, the overall aging of the face is noticeable. In this way, facial aging does not occur in just one area, but should be understood as a general phenomenon.

Of course, it is possible to perform separate surgery on a specific area that is especially bothersome, but if you want to improve the overall aging of the face, surgery may be needed for each corresponding area.

Therefore, if there is a particular area you are especially concerned about, you can receive anti-aging surgery for that area.

The anti-aging surgery performed most often is blepharoplasty, which corrects aging around the eyes. It includes upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty.

1. Upper blepharoplasty is surgery that corrects aging of the upper eyelids, and in East Asians it is often performed while creating a double eyelid, so it is sometimes called middle-aged double eyelid surgery.

If you do not want a double eyelid to be created, it can be replaced with another type of surgery such as a subbrow lift.

2. Lower blepharoplasty is surgery that improves aging under the eyes. It repositions the fat under the eyes and lifts part of the midface.

3. A forehead lift is a surgery that lifts the forehead and temple area, and is sometimes called a frontotemporal lift. Through this surgery, lifting of the eyebrows and upper eyelids is also possible, and it can be performed together with eyelid surgery or separately.

4. A facelift is a lifting surgery that improves the midface and jawline, and it corrects overall sagging below the cheekbones. It can also improve nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the mouth, and if the scope of surgery is expanded, a neck lift can also be performed.

'Before and After Comprehensive Middle-Age Plastic Surgery (Anti-Aging)'

When receiving anti-aging surgery comprehensively, some people worry that the variety of procedures might make them look like a different person.

Since the purpose of anti-aging surgery is to correct aging, it is better to think of it not as becoming someone else, but as a surgery that brings you closer to how you looked when you were younger.

Also, because there are various procedures involved, it actually has many advantages. Rather than correcting facial sagging with a single surgery, the skin is treated in multiple areas, which makes the result much more natural.

The recovery period for comprehensive middle-age plastic surgery is usually about 2 weeks, and having multiple procedures at the same time does not make the recovery period especially longer.

Usually, overall recovery is completed based on the procedure with the longest recovery period.

Scars from the incision areas of anti-aging surgery usually enter a stabilization phase after a maturation process of 1 to 2 months, and after that the scars become almost invisible.

Anti-aging surgery can be performed as separate procedures according to the face’s aesthetic units and zones, and if comprehensive improvement is desired, they can also be done together.

The purpose of anti-aging surgery is to restore the face to the way it was before aging appeared, so having a variety of procedures does not mean becoming a different person.

Rather, because the aging of the face is improved through various procedures, it is possible to harmoniously return to the 'me of the past.'
