Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, the chief director of the Seoul branch of Leeting Plastic Surgery Clinic.
A slim, soft facial line is the ideal look many people want.
In particular, those who are not satisfied with their appearance because of prominent cheekbones or a long face shape often want to improve their facial line through contour surgery.
Contour surgery is known as an effective method for correcting the facial bone structure and creating a more balanced appearance.
However, contour surgery does not always bring only satisfactory results.
In some cases, unexpected facial sagging can occur after surgery.

Sagging skin after contour surgery?
Skin sagging is one of the representative side effects that causes concern after contour surgery.
As the facial bone structure changes through surgery, the skin and soft tissue may not adapt to the new position and can lose firmness and sag.
Even at a young age, this side effect can still occur depending on skin condition, genetic factors, or the tissue’s ability to recover.
Skin sagging can go beyond an external issue and create psychological 부담 as well.
Even if you decided to undergo surgery expecting a slimmer facial line, it is easy to feel disappointed with the result if your face appears saggy.
That is why many people consider a facelift to improve this issue.

What is a facelift?
A facelift is a surgery performed to improve sagging skin caused by aging.
It is effective in restoring firmness to the face.
As people age, the skin naturally loses elasticity and sags.
This happens due to a combination of factors such as reduced collagen and elastin in the skin, weakened muscles and fat layers, and the effects of gravity.
These changes blur facial contours and make wrinkles more pronounced, making aging appear more noticeable.
A facelift works by physically pulling up sagging skin.
In general, the surgery involves making an incision around the ear and carefully pulling the skin and the tissue underneath to create a tighter, more refreshed appearance.
This surgery is mainly considered for people in middle age and older, but recently more younger people with significant facial sagging have also been choosing it.
In particular, there are many cases where a facelift is recommended to improve skin sagging that occurs after contour surgery or the overall sagging of the face caused by severe aging.

The key is dissection of the fascia and retaining ligaments
Skin is not made up only of the surface visible from the outside, but of multiple layers with a complex structure.
Each layer of this skin structure has its own role.
To enhance the lifting effect, it is important to accurately understand and address the fascial layer and retaining ligaments beneath the skin.
The most important layer in a facelift or mini lift is the SMAS layer.
The SMAS layer lies beneath the thin, multi-layered subcutaneous fat layer and is closely connected to the facial muscles.
This layer is one of the main causes of facial sagging and wrinkles, and it is a part that must be addressed during lifting surgery.
The role of the retaining ligaments that support the soft tissues around the face is also very important.
Retaining ligaments fix the facial structure and support its shape, but they weaken with age and become a factor that accelerates skin sagging.
In lifting surgery, appropriately adjusting and securing these retaining ligaments can improve sagging and help maintain the lifting effect for a longer time.

If you want a faster recovery?
At our clinic, you can undergo lifting surgery more comfortably with the Transparent Mini Lift.
The Transparent Mini Lift is a method that combines the advantages of surgery and procedures, allowing results with a smaller incision.
The biggest feature of this surgery is the small incision area.
It can improve skin sagging and restore firmness without placing excessive strain on the face.
In particular, because the surgery time is short and recovery is quick, it is suitable for people with busy daily routines.
The Transparent Mini Lift can effectively improve sagging cheeks, asymmetrical jaws, deep nasolabial folds, and overall facial sagging.
It is recommended for people in their 20s and 30s whose early signs of aging have begun, or for those worried about skin sagging after contour surgery.
If the degree of skin sagging is not severe and a major surgery feels burdensome, the Transparent Mini Lift may be the most suitable alternative.

As a plastic surgery clinic focused on lifting, we can expect good results not only from simple procedures or surgeries but also through comprehensive care.
Lifting is an important process for restoring skin firmness and refining facial contours, but a customized approach is needed depending on each person’s condition and goals.
