Hello~ We are Balance Lab,

bringing you anti-aging solutions

to help turn back time~!

Last year my face wasn’t like this,

but this year my cheeks strangely look saggy.

Are wrinkles forming beside my eyes?

There may be people who are worried by thoughts like these!

As time goes by, there comes a point when

wanting to look youthful becomes especially strong.

Aging is a natural process that happens to everyone,

and it includes skin sagging and wrinkling across the whole body,

including the face, abdomen, back, arms, and legs.

When this happens, it can make you look older.

Recently, with more middle-aged and older adults

going out for golf rounds, small gatherings, hiking, and other activities,

there has been growing interest in cosmetic procedures such as lifting surgery

among those who want to improve their appearance to look younger.

In particular, among youthful-appearance cosmetic procedures,

facelift surgery is being performed as a way to

globally lift sagging facial skin caused by aging

and improve firmness,

so both women and men are looking into it.

Sagging skin, facelift effects

How firm can it get?

Since many people are curious about

how much effect it can have,

if your face has sagged due to aging,

check out this anti-aging solution that lifts the face and turns back time!

Can facial skin sag due to aging

even if you are not middle-aged or older?

Because the cause of aging is not completely just age,

sagging can appear at various ages.

As the elasticity of the skin and fascia declines,

with sagging of the volume-supporting fascia

and an overall lack of facial volume,

it can happen to anyone, even if they are not middle-aged or older.

Are mini lifting,

forehead lift,

and facelift effects

all different?

When it comes to representative lifting procedures,

these three are the ones seen most often.

The face, as the term suggests, refers to the entire face.

However, forehead lifts are mainly applied to sagging above the eyes,

and mini lifts are mainly used for partial sagging.

Although they are all lifting surgeries,

the areas where their effects can be expected are different.

So if you want to improve sagging skin overall,

a facelift may be the right option.

How is Balance Lab's facelift effect,

an all-in-one lifting surgery,

performed?

Some people have the opinion that

the effect seems to vary too much from person to person

after undergoing surgery to lift the skin.

The reason is that the indications for each procedure or surgery are different,

and depending on the condition of the face,

there are things that are good and things that are not.

In particular, if only the skin is simply pulled tighter,

the results may differ from what was expected.

That is why it is necessary to first understand the skin characteristics

after considering each person's current volume and skin elasticity,

and then have a skilled specialist provide a solution.

Some people need overall care for only the face,

while others need care for both the face and neck,

so Balance Lab designs step-by-step solutions

by considering both sagging and the current condition,

and tailoring the direction of pulling the skin and fascia

to the areas that need improved elasticity.

If the whole face is lifted,

won't incision scars remain later?

In the past, they may have been quite noticeable,

but as medical technology has continuously advanced,

these days the procedure is performed in a delicate way

so that it is barely noticeable.

For facelift effects with almost no scarring,

Balance Lab makes minimal incisions along the hairline and on the inner side.

It is not a minimum no matter what,

but the minimum required for the area that needs to be lifted.

And because the direction of the hair is also considered during the procedure,

concerns about scars and hair loss can be reduced.

Even so, if you are worried about scars,

it may be advisable to expect the best results

from a surgical method limited to inside the scalp.

I had the skin and fascia (SMAS layer) lifted,

but the effect did not last long.

Why is that?

Just as every person's appearance is different,

the volume condition of the skin and fascia

also differs slightly,

and there are many cases where the effect returns quickly

because nutritional and hormonal balance is disrupted.

Only when all of these factors are in place

can the time turned back through facelift effects

be maintained for longer.

In particular, nutritional and hormonal balance

corresponds to the body's 'basic stamina,'

so to keep it from falling apart, proper eating habits

and taking nutritional supplements are also very important in everyday life.

Balance Lab, which performs lifting surgery,

offers a Vita Balance customized IV solution

that not only includes surgery to lift the skin and fascia,

but also helps restore nutritional and hormonal balance.

This part is handled by an internal medicine specialist

who has a deeper understanding of the body

than a plastic surgery specialist.

There are various options, from anti-aging cocktails

to recovery cocktails that can help with post-surgery recovery,

so you can expect to turn back time

in the way you want.

What other lifting surgery

solutions are being performed?!

Full lifting, which can provide facelift effects,

full neck lifting, mini lifting, thread lifting,

endoscopic eyebrow lifting, upper and lower blepharoplasty,

and other eye-area solutions are also available.

If the entire face has sagged due to aging,

the eye area, which has the thinnest skin,

may also have sagging or wrinkles.

That is why at Balance Lab,

a personalized solution is designed by analyzing

all of the overall changes in the face

and choosing the necessary methods.

How should youthful-appearance cosmetic care be managed?

There is nothing grand about it just because it is called management.

A regular lifestyle, sun protection, and appropriate exercise

are a good starting point,

and it seems best to check both the inside and outside of the body

to reduce irritation to the skin and help it stay firm better.

That brings us to the end of this discussion about lifting-related cosmetic procedures!

If you want more detailed information about facelift effects,

costs, recovery period, and more,

please get help from Balance Lab Plastic Surgery,

where a plastic surgery specialist and an internal medicine specialist

analyze things one-on-one for you.
