Hello, this is Balance Lab Plastic Surgery.

When it comes to the face shape everyone wants, it is the beautifully defined V-line face, right?

One procedure that can help in such cases is Balance Lab’s double-fixation SMAS lifting, and today we’ll take a look at why it has been gaining popularity lately.

A typical thread lift has relatively little surgical burden, but the downside is that the duration of results is comparatively short. On the other hand, if you choose a facelift, the results last longer, which is nice, but there may be concerns about side effects that can appear later.

In between these two, lifting is appealing because it offers a longer duration with relatively less burden, which is why it has become so popular.

So today, for those of you looking into facial V-line procedures, we’ll learn about Balance Lab’s double-fixation SMAS lifting, which can be seen as something in between thread lifting and a facelift, and talk about how to create a beautiful face shape together!

Among those looking into V-line procedures, when asked why they need one, most people say things like these:

They don’t have fat anywhere else on their body, but for some reason, only the face or double chin doesn’t slim down.

Or, in their 20s or 30s, it wasn’t like this, but as they get older, they feel that their facial contour is starting to collapse.

These are two common examples.

There is no single correct answer for any method, but one thing you should know is that anti-aging solutions such as SMAS lifting also require step-by-step procedures or surgeries that suit each person.

There are many different ways to create a beautiful V-line face, but when you look at people who need double-fixation SMAS lifting, many of them want to reduce surgical burden through micro-incisions and also want a quick return to daily life.

Most modern people are working and many have their own main jobs, so it makes sense that these factors are considered as well, right?

First, it is important to know the difference from general lifting!

Among those who have experienced lifting before, some may occasionally say, "Why is the maintenance period so short?" If you look at the illustration above, the reason becomes easier to understand.

Our skin is structured in layers that are more complex than you might think. However, during the lifting process, rather than pulling only the outer dermis and epidermis, it is more solid and longer-lasting to pull from the inside, passing through the deep fat layer and the SMAS layer.

At the same time, considering the scar area as well and performing the procedure so that it is not visible after surgery is the purpose of Balance Lab’s double-fixation SMAS lifting.

But wait a moment! How is it "double-fixation"? That can be understood by looking at the pulling method.

General lifting is often performed by pulling in only one direction, with vertical traction.

However, if it is lifted simultaneously in both diagonal and vertical directions, it can be fixed in two ways, helping natural facial expressions and various expected effects last longer.

Any surgery that places stress on the body, including V-line procedures, naturally raises concerns about side effects. Regardless of whether you are usually healthy or not, in all fields related to medicine, such worries are inevitable.

It would be great if anyone could predict and know these things in advance, but unexpected situations can occur, which is always disappointing.

Of course, there may be issues that arise during the procedure itself, but dissatisfaction can also appear if the person undergoing the procedure has poor nutritional or health status, an immune system that is not in good condition, or if they miss the precautions that should be followed right after the procedure.

That is why, to address these points, Balance Lab prescribes IV fluids through its Vita Balance program so that the essential components needed throughout the body do not become deficient.

Among them, the representative option that can help immediately after surgery is the recovery IV. By supplementing zinc and vitamin C, its role is to support a faster recovery by helping strengthen the immune system, providing antioxidant effects, aiding wound healing and tissue formation, and helping relieve fatigue.

Also, even if you are not necessarily undergoing a procedure or surgery, it can help with fatigue recovery for people whose daily routines involve work that is far more physically demanding than average, or for those who exercise a lot.

If you have already experienced lifting before, you can often tell from the procedure name or outline what is different from what you had done before. But if this is your first time, you may be thinking countless times a day about what would be right for you.

It is important that dramatic changes appear after surgery and that the results turn out well, but one thing I want to emphasize is that for any procedure or surgery, considering your overall health as well is something that can be more beneficial in the long term.

In particular, in the field of SMAS lifting, many people are satisfied because the results they want appear immediately afterward, but as time passes, there are often cases where they mention various difficulties.

For example, rather than there being a surgical problem, they may say they experience headaches or dizziness more often than before, or that they feel worn out and sluggish all the time because they are not in good condition, along with other situations that are difficult to pinpoint clearly.

Therefore, it is most important to meet a specialist who can comprehensively care for these aspects without missing anything and who can pay close attention as if caring for their own body.

Balance Lab Plastic Surgery is a place that is always studying how to provide more thorough care in order to take care of both your health and the beauty you present outwardly without missing anything.

If you want to become more beautiful but feel 부담 because it is your first time with various procedures or surgeries,

or if you were born naturally beautiful and want to keep that beauty for even longer, I hope the double-fixation SMAS lifting method we looked at today will be helpful.
