Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, the chief director of Ritting Plastic Surgery Seoul Branch.
Today, I’d like to talk about facial sagging and face-lifting, topics that many people are interested in.
As time passes, the changes that occur in our faces are a natural process that everyone goes through, but how we manage and respond to those changes is a personal choice.
I fully understand the feeling of wanting to regain a face that looks youthful and full of vitality.

Facial sagging is not simply a surface skin issue.
Over time, skin elasticity decreases, muscles loosen, and fat sags downward.
This means a change in the entire facial structure.
A lowered forehead, sagging cheeks, wrinkles around the mouth, and a weakened jawline are representative signs of facial sagging.

To address these changes, face-lifts are receiving attention.
A face-lift is not simply about pulling the skin tighter.
It is a process of improving the fundamental structure of the face.
Based on 20 years of experience, our clinic carefully analyzes each patient’s facial structure and degree of aging and performs surgery using the most effective method.
Face-lift surgery usually takes about 2 to 3 hours and is performed under sleep anesthesia.
There may be temporary discomfort after surgery.
Although this varies by individual, most patients are able to return to daily life within a week.
The internal structure of the skin is very complex. The key is not to pull only the visible skin, but to lift the areas that are actually most affected by gravity and thereby restore the overall tension of the skin.
That key is the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).
With our clinic’s unique solution, we accurately identify the direction of the fascia fibers and lift them to provide a natural and long-lasting effect.

Ritting focuses only on lifting!
Since 2004, Ritting Plastic Surgery has researched and performed surgery in the single field of lifting, building extensive experience.
Based on this experience, we created a “lifting standard guide” and apply it in a customized way for each patient.
For those who need to return to daily life more quickly or feel burdened by incisions, we recommend mini lifting, which places less strain on incisions.
Mini lifting preserves the effects of a face-lift while reducing the burden of surgery, and it can improve the overall facial line, including sagging cheeks, asymmetrical jawline, sagging wrinkles around the eyes, and nasolabial folds.
By combining laser lifting, thread lifting, facial fat grafting, and V-neck lifting according to the patient’s condition and needs, we can achieve more natural and satisfying results.
In this way, our clinic provides improvements with solutions suited to each individual’s characteristics and needs.

Be younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
We aim not only to improve appearance, but also to enhance patients’ quality of life and restore their confidence.
Lifting surgery can become a new turning point in your life.
If you are considering a face-lift, a consultation with a specialist is essential because the appropriate method must be determined by comprehensively considering factors such as facial structure, skin condition, age, and lifestyle habits.
At Ritting Plastic Surgery, we provide customized consultations tailored to each patient’s situation.

Precautions after facial sagging surgery
Postoperative care is also important.
You need consistent care while also getting proper rest, following the doctor’s instructions.
Immediately after surgery, swelling and bruising may occur, but they will naturally improve over time.
In most cases, you can fully return to daily life in about two weeks.
The effects of a face-lift vary by individual, but they usually last about 5 to 10 years.
However, this can vary depending on postoperative care and lifestyle habits.
Maintaining healthy habits such as not smoking, protecting yourself from UV rays, and drinking enough water can help the results last longer.

Our clinic also provides ongoing care after surgery.
Through regular follow-up consultations, we check your recovery and, if necessary, suggest additional care methods.
Our goal is not simply to perform surgery, but to help patients maintain satisfying results for a long time.
Among those considering a face-lift, some may feel afraid of surgery.
That is a very natural reaction.
However, with our clinic’s experienced medical staff and systematic surgical process, these concerns can be minimized.

A face-lift is not simply for looking younger.
Many people say that after surgery, their confidence increases and their social life improves.
It is an experience in which changes in appearance lead to changes on the inside.^^
Our clinic continues to develop better surgical methods through ongoing research.
Lastly, I would like to say this to those who are thinking about a face-lift.
Whatever choice you make, it is the right one.
What matters is that you feel comfortable and confident.
Ritting Plastic Surgery respects your decision and is ready to support you to the best of our ability, whatever you choose.
We will be with you on your journey toward beauty.

Looking forward to seeing you become younger and more beautiful tomorrow than you were yesterday, Ritting Plastic Surgery will always be a reliable supporter by your side.
