How Can You Succeed with a Facelift Lift in One Go? This Article Alone Is Enough to Read

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, the chief director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.

There are many factors that affect a person’s impression, but over time, lowered skin elasticity, sagging, and wrinkles can all change the way someone looks.

In fact, as skin ages, there are many cases where a person can seem completely different from before, and an impression that once seemed gentle can change into one that looks irritated.

And this kind of skin aging can place a great deal of stress on daily life.

In particular, these days more people are living with a more youthful lifestyle than in the past, and some become concerned about their appearance not keeping up with that lifestyle.

I think many people looking into a facelift lift are doing so for this reason.

Today, I’ll explain what a facelift is and on what criteria you should choose a clinic.

What is a facelift?

A facelift is a representative surgical lifting method that removes part of the sagging, stretched skin and physically pulls it up and fixes it in place to create a tightened state.

It is mainly used to soften deep forehead lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and deeply etched eye-area wrinkles that appear more often in middle age and beyond, rather than the time when skin begins to sag and wrinkles start to form in the 20s and 30s.

If you only hear that the loose skin is cut and pulled up, it may sound simple, but a facelift lift is a large and complex surgery.

In reality, the structures beneath the skin are very complex, and the facial muscles move in delicate and detailed ways, so these factors must all be considered when lifting the tissues to achieve stable results.

If the surgery is performed based on precise planning and delicate technique, a facelift lift can bring a high level of satisfaction. However, some people hesitate because they feel burdened by a surgical approach.

Of course, a facelift is not the only answer.

Depending on each person’s facial features, various methods such as laser lifting, thread lifting, and skin boosters can be applied.

However, for middle-aged patients and older, where sagging skin and pronounced wrinkles are more noticeable, it is true that a facelift can create more dramatic changes than other methods.

In some cases, combining a facelift with additional procedures such as thread lifting or laser lifting can help create better synergy.

Why the medical perspective matters

Of course, many people wonder whether recommending so many procedures might be excessive treatment.

From a patient’s perspective, I think that is a completely understandable concern.

That is because patients are focused on the areas they consider to be their complexes, rather than understanding the structure of the skin.

However, from the perspective of medical staff with professional insight, we have no choice but to approach the issue by considering the skin structure and the balance of the facial features.

From a medical standpoint, simply pulling up sagging skin is not enough; increasing the elasticity within the skin leads to more natural and satisfying results.

In fact, even if the skin is lifted as much as possible, if skin elasticity is low, the change may not feel as dramatic as expected. (Of course, there will still be far more change than if nothing is done.)

In such cases, patients may want the skin pulled tighter, but at that point, instead of simply pulling harder, another type of lifting must be combined to achieve the desired result.

A clinic that performs only lifting

Our clinic handles only lifting procedures and surgeries.

Because of that, we have a deep understanding of skin structure and facial features.

In particular, in a facelift, delicately separating and lifting the skin and muscle is the key condition for creating a result that looks natural and lasts a long time.

To do this, one must understand all layers of the skin, from the fascial layer called the SMAS layer to the subcutaneous fat layer and the dermal layer.

In fact, the existence and role of the fascial layer have only been known to the world for a few decades, and research on aging management is still ongoing.

And depending on how well this fascial layer is understood, the stability and precision of a facelift can change.

At Liting Plastic Surgery, we handle only lifting, continuously study the skin, and keep developing lifting procedures and surgeries, which allows us to achieve more precise and stable results.

Liting Signature Lifting

Based on this ongoing research into lifting, our clinic performs its signature facelift lifting.

Liting Signature Lifting is divided into Liting M/U/L/J lifting according to the incision shape and range, and it is a lifting surgery that pulls up both sagging skin and the fascial (SMAS) layer.

As Liting’s representative lifting surgery, it is characterized by a shorter incision and dissection range than traditional facelift surgery, reducing the patient’s burden while increasing surgical satisfaction.

The surgery is performed in a direction that is more suitable depending on each individual’s wrinkles and sagging condition.

The sideburn and area around the ear are incised in the shape corresponding to the desired lifting type, and the skin and fascial layer are carefully and safely dissected.

After that, fascial pillars are formed, and the sagging fascia is pulled up and firmly fixed.

Depending on the degree of sagging and the range of the desired effect, an additional thread-combination process, upgraded from the basic surgery, may be added.

Liting Signature Lifting combines only the advantages of lifting procedures and surgery, and it is a popular lifting surgery that reduces damage while lasting longer.

Many people seek lifting procedures and surgeries to regain the youth and vitality of the past, but simply pulling everything upward is not enough.

At Liting Plastic Surgery, we quickly identify the fundamental concerns and needs of patients considering a facelift lift, and we explore customized lifting methods from multiple angles in order to deliver satisfying results.
