Learn the Criteria for Choosing Facelift Surgery in Gangnam

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

Recently, as various lifting lasers have been introduced, many people have been receiving steady care and maintaining skin conditions that look younger than their age.

If you have been receiving consistent care, the results accumulate and aging can be slowed down, but the passage of time cannot be completely stopped.

As people enter their 40s, 50s, and 60s, there are more cases where the lasers they have been using are no longer enough to achieve satisfactory results.

In such cases, it is necessary to take a more active physical approach to lift loose, sagging skin.

Today, let’s take a closer look at Gangnam facelift surgery.

Who needs a facelift

Many people tend to judge their appearance harshly, so it can be difficult to view their condition objectively.

Simply thinking that the face looks more sagging than before or that fine lines seem more noticeable may just be due to impatience.

To objectively determine whether Gangnam facelift surgery is necessary, it is appropriate to visit a plastic surgery clinic and receive a specialist’s diagnosis.

However, if you want to take a simple look at whether it is needed before visiting, you can check whether wrinkles have formed in front of the ears.

If a self-check confirms wrinkles in front of the ears, it can be said that a more active response is needed.

What is a facelift?

Gangnam facelift surgery refers to a surgical method performed by making an incision in front of the ear and then extending the incision behind the ear or inside the scalp.

Because it physically pulls the skin upward, it can deliver results that are clearly visible to the eye.

However, since it involves making an incision, many people are afraid of having a blade used on their face.

In such cases, instead of making an incision in front of the ear, the procedure can be performed with some limitations by making an incision inside the scalp.

However, for those who do not want any incision at all, the only option is to continue management with thread lifting and laser lifting to prevent further sagging.

Concerns about facelift scars

In the case of Gangnam facelift surgery based on incisions, it is impossible for the incision marks to be completely absent.

However, if a facelift is necessary, as mentioned earlier in the self-check method, there are likely already wrinkles in front of the ears.

It is important to keep in mind that the incision process smooths out these wrinkles and leaves some trace behind.

In addition, it is also worth considering that scars are less likely to form as people get older when thinking about a facelift.

In fact, during the wound-healing process, older skin often does not develop into scars, so older patients may actually worry less.

What is the retaining ligament?

When looking into facelifts, you may have seen many explanations about the SMAS layer, which is the fascial layer.

Just as important in determining the results of facelift surgery is the retaining ligament.

The retaining ligament is like a strap that supports sagging in the face from the deep layers of the skin all the way to the surface.

It slows the rate at which the fascia and skin begin to sag with age.

Because it is mainly located around the cheekbones and jawline, when looking at the skin of older people, you can see that the skin does not sag evenly but has a pulling-like characteristic in those areas.

What is retaining ligament dissection?

The retaining ligaments that connect and support the space between the fascia and the skin not only help prevent sagging, but also act as an obstacle to lifting.

If you pull upward without cutting the retaining ligaments, only the outer layer is lifted, so dissection must be performed first in order to lift the SMAS layer, which is the fascial layer.

To dissect the retaining ligaments, it is necessary to determine where they are located and how much should be cut, making this a fairly delicate matter.

If they are not cut at all, proper results cannot be achieved, and if they are cut excessively, the result may look unnatural, so finding the right balance is important.

This is why it is necessary to find medical staff who can carefully and precisely assess and respond to the situation.

Criteria for choosing medical staff

Because facelift surgery is not a simple or light procedure, you must choose your medical staff carefully.

First, you should choose medical staff with extensive experience performing facelifts so that they can achieve satisfactory results tailored to your condition.

This is because they are more likely to have a high level of understanding of the SMAS layer and retaining ligaments mentioned earlier, as well as sufficient technical skill to handle them properly.

In addition, since the areas that need help and the methods differ from person to person, it can also be very helpful to find a clinic that suggests a direction through detailed consultations.
