Gangnam Plastic Surgery? What to Check for Satisfying Lifting

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Reting Plastic Surgery.

Skin aging is a concern for many people, and the degree varies widely—from those who have just started noticing fine lines and are becoming concerned, to those whose skin sagging has become severe and altered the facial line.

Because of this, many people seek to manage skin aging in order to maintain a favorable impression.

At the Gangnam Plastic Surgery clinic, we provide systematic support through a variety of lifting methods.

Just in the first quarter of 2024, the total number of lifting procedures reached 10,367, showing that we focus closely on managing skin elasticity issues, which makes more tailored results possible.

I’ll explain specifically what kinds of help we provide.

If aging has begun?

In fact, skin aging begins in the late 20s, and once you enter your 30s, the speed of aging increases and becomes more noticeable.

However, if you are still in your early 30s, only mild concerns tend to appear, so they can be managed with procedures such as mini lifting, lasers, or injections.

At the Gangnam Plastic Surgery clinic, in addition to these procedures, we also perform custom mini lifting, which makes small incisions only in specific areas and uses dissolvable threads to lift the skin and fascia at the same time.

This can reduce concerns about scarring while extending the duration of the results.

When more active management is needed

However, if aging has progressed further, more active care is needed.

Typically, for people in their 30s to 40s, we help with thread lifting or Smile Mini Lifting; for those in their 40s to 50s, we help with Reting Signature Lifting, V-Neck Lifting, or sagging-eye lifting.

Smile Mini is a method that broadly improves the eye area, nasolabial folds, and cheekbones, making it suitable when changes are needed mainly in the midface.

If you want to improve the lower face in particular, V-Neck Lifting, which tightly lifts from the chin to the neck, can be helpful.

It sharpens a jawline that has become blurred by sagging under the chin and can also improve neck wrinkles.

What is Reting Signature Lifting?

Reting Signature Lifting is a method that lifts both the skin and fascia together to remove the cause of sagging, and it is often used for people in their 40s to 50s with more severe signs of aging.

Depending on the exact incision shape and the area of improvement, it is divided into M, U, L, and J types. In general, the later the type, the stronger the effect and the longer the duration.

M and U are methods for improving the midface: M focuses mainly on the inner side of the sideburn area, while U involves an incision from the sideburn area to above the ear.

L involves an incision from the sideburn area to the middle of the ear, lifting both the midface and lower face at the same time, and J involves an incision from the sideburn area to just behind the earlobe, improving the mid-lower face and jawline together.

If stronger lifting is needed?

In addition, if sagging is severe and wrinkles are deep in people in their 50s to 60s and older, procedures such as a facelift, forehead lift, or sagging-eye lifting may also be performed.

A facelift is a method that helps when sagging is severe and wrinkles are deep in people in their 50s to 60s and older, and it involves cutting and lifting part of the SMAS layer.

This can also lift the subcutaneous fat layer to restore volume, and it is a surgery that raises the overall firmness of the skin by lifting the areas most affected by gravity.

Forehead lifting and sagging-eye lifting can reduce forehead wrinkles and restore the eye area to a more natural shape, helping bring back a clearer impression.

At this time, the process of lifting the drooping eyelids helps secure the field of vision and ease eyelash irritation, which also contributes to a more comfortable daily life.

A light approach for easy maintenance

Of course, there are also ways to manage it lightly without much burden.

At the Gangnam Plastic Surgery clinic, we also perform petite procedures such as D-Day Lifting, Pearl Shine, Shining, Ulthera, and lasers, which improve skin elasticity while reducing the burden of incision-related procedures.

Accordingly, if you are in your late 20s to early 30s, when aging has just begun, you can manage elasticity more quickly and efficiently.

If such care is performed early, it can slow the pace of aging and help prevent issues such as deep wrinkles, sagging, and under-chin fat.

Thorough pre-examination is key

However, to achieve a satisfying result, it is important to conduct a thorough individual examination in advance.

In fact, the shape of each person’s facial features, skin condition, thickness, type, degree of aging, and specific symptoms all differ.

Therefore, among the various lifting methods, the one that is appropriate for each individual is bound to be different as well.

The Gangnam Plastic Surgery clinic fully understands this and, rather than insisting on a specific method, finds the appropriate approach based on the results of the individual pre-examination and establishes a detailed plan.

This helps prevent results that look excessive or unnatural and allows us to restore your original natural beauty.

Since aging is a concern for many people, lifting procedures are relatively common, but it is not always possible to achieve satisfying results everywhere.

When individual characteristics are not sufficiently considered, the outcome may look unnatural, and people may also experience follow-up issues such as scarring.

Our clinic is a Gangnam Plastic Surgery clinic that carefully helps by focusing only on lifting, with medical staff who have long experience with various cases and outstanding technical skill.

Rather than settling for the present, we continuously study better directions, and with the know-how accumulated over a long time, we provide systematic skin care through a standardized system.

Accordingly, you can achieve firmer skin with trust and stability, so please feel free to contact us.
