How to Restore Firmness with a Facelift!

Hello, we are JW Garden Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, providing procedures with rich experience and delicate technique.

Everyone wants to look younger. Because of this, a variety of folk remedies, procedures, and surgical methods have been developed, and among them is the anti-aging facelift.

A facelift is also called a youthful face surgery, and by lifting the sagging areas of the face, it has the characteristic of firmly reconnecting aging, sagging skin and muscles.

As aging progresses and facial muscles are used continuously, the SMAS layer also gradually loosens, so under the influence of gravity pulling downward, the face appears overall saggy.

Sagging cheeks, smile lines, and other changes caused by sagging do not end there; they can also lead to a double chin, causing stress.

That is why JW Garden Plastic Surgery performs a procedure that carefully dissects not only the outer skin and muscles but also the SMAS layer to pull the skin in three layers in order to address these issues.

By directly lifting the fascia, which is the root cause of sagging and aging, it can produce a more natural effect, so many people undergo it.

The SMAS layer is located on the outermost side of the plane surrounding the muscles, between the subcutaneous fat layer and the muscle layer. Unlike conventional lifting procedures that simply pull up sagging skin, pulling the SMAS layer allows you to experience firmness that reaches deep into the skin.

The anti-aging facelift, which is different from lifting, is a surgery that can improve wrinkles and sagging facial lines that are widely distributed across the face, and it is performed by dissecting a relatively broad area. Some people worry about the scars created by this. At our clinic, with rich experience and skilled know-how, we use an incision method that follows the inner scalp and the inner contour of the ear, so it can be performed with almost no scarring.

When performing a facelift lifting procedure, the retaining ligaments must be cut; otherwise, the lifted SMAS layer will be pulled downward again. However, these retaining ligaments are located deep within the skin and many nerve fibers are distributed around them, so they are difficult to cut properly, which is why the hand of a specialist is needed. At Gangnam Plastic Surgery, Director Kang Hong-dae performs the surgery, so it can be done without worries or fear about side effects.

In addition, our clinic uses a facelift method that does not cut off the remaining tissue but rolls and fixes it in place, allowing it to be secured even more firmly. This helps the effect last longer, and because the rolled area is positioned below the side cheekbone, it can also add volume.
