Key Points You Should Know Before Checking Facelift Prices

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

As we age, signs of aging occur in everyone.

In particular, the face is frequently exposed to the outside, so it is subject to strong stimulation, and because of facial expressions, the muscles move a lot.

As a result, aging can progress faster than in other areas.

Especially for middle-aged adults in their 40s and older, signs of aging become even more noticeable.

Wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth and jaw can deepen, while the cheeks or jaw can sag downward, even changing the overall shape of the face.

Because of this, many people look for more active ways to manage their appearance.

So today, let’s take a closer look at facelift surgery.

When is lifting needed?

In fact, the pattern of aging differs from person to person.

Even wrinkles that look similar can differ in thickness, depth, range, and more.

Not only that, but the degree also varies quite a bit.

If the signs are relatively mild, simple procedures may be enough to manage aging.

However, if sagging is severe enough to distort the face shape, a stronger lifting procedure is needed.

At this time, it is helpful to check the skin in front of the ears.

If wrinkles begin to form in front of the ears, a more active response may be needed, so visiting a medical clinic to learn about lifting prices can also be a good option.

What is a facelift?

A facelift is a surgical method performed by making an incision from the front to the back of the ear.

Because it physically pulls and secures loosened skin, it can provide a stronger lift than the commonly known thread lifting or laser treatments.

This helps improve wrinkles efficiently and neatly reposition sagging skin, which also helps change the overall look of the face.

Facial features become more defined, and the hidden jawline is revealed, creating a result that makes the face look smaller and more distinct.

In addition, as the overall image also changes positively, a look that seemed sullen and tired can shift to one that feels brighter and more lively.

What is the key element of a facelift?

However, there is a very important key element needed to create these positive changes.

That is the retaining ligaments and fascia.

In fact, the importance of fascia in lifting is well known.

Fascia, often also called the SMAS layer, is the main area that forms facial expressions between the muscle and fat layers.

But as we age, the strength of this area weakens, causing the space between the fat and muscles to loosen and the epidermis to sag under gravity.

Therefore, when looking into facelift prices, it is not enough to simply pull the epidermis; the deeper fascia must also be tightened and firmly secured.

At the same time, retaining ligaments are just as important as the fascia.

These act like pillars of the skin, and they are a major cause of the fascia being pulled downward and the skin becoming loose.

Therefore, during lifting, it is important to properly release the retaining ligaments and remove the pulling force.

Why the medical team matters

However, this process is quite difficult.

Because the skin has a very complex structure, it is extremely challenging to part through the layered skin texture and cut the retaining ligaments at once.

Also, it is important to dissect only the appropriate amount of fascia.

If too much is dissected, various follow-up problems such as excessive bleeding, swelling, and wounds can occur.

Therefore, if you want successful results, it is best to get help from a medical team with plenty of experience in the field, extensive knowledge, and delicate technical skill.

Lifting that began with facial reconstructive surgery

Since my university years, I have focused on researching and studying facial reconstructive surgery.

This is the field that treats cases where the facial structure has been deformed or some functions have been lost.

Because both functional and cosmetic aspects had to be considered, my studies at the time became an important foundation for researching facelift surgery and devising new methods.

By deeply understanding not only the skin but also the bones, nerves, muscles, and facial features, I have been able to apply that knowledge to lifting and create more satisfying results.

A systematic process tailored to your goals

In addition, our clinic carries out a systematic process by selecting the appropriate method according to each person’s preferences and ideal goals.

If you are concerned about incisions or want more natural beauty, we can help with a facelift and thread lifting.

At this time, we make the incision in less visible areas such as the hairline or inside the scalp to reduce the possibility of scarring.

However, if you want a clearer change with a stronger lift, we release the retaining ligaments together with the facelift.

In fact, there are many different lifting methods, so it is difficult to say that one is always better than another.

However, because our clinic understands the structure of the skin in detail, we can deliver results that make the price feel worthwhile.

Why Liting focuses only on lifting

Above all, our clinic is a medical institution with a stronger focus on lifting.

Based on tens of thousands of cases, we have continuously researched and developed our approach, and we have built a systematic system so that you can proceed comfortably through consultation, surgery, post-treatment checks, and care.

Through our close collaborative system, everyone who visits can efficiently resolve concerns about aging.

In fact, so many people come to Liting that they immediately think of lifting, and they often look into facelift prices.

I hope you find a place that can create beauty that suits each individual harmoniously, and seek help instead of simply leaving signs of aging alone.
