If You’re Considering a Gangnam Facelift, Read This

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

As laser lifting has become more common in recent years, many people are managing skin aging with a variety of laser devices.

However, even after receiving treatment, some people find the results underwhelming and less satisfying than expected despite the treatment’s reputation.

If skin aging has progressed to a certain extent, it can be difficult to feel a change with laser lifting alone, so a more active approach is needed.

For people in their 50s and older, getting help from a Gangnam facelift rather than Thermage or Ultherapy can increase satisfaction.

Today, I’ll explain who should consider a facelift and what questions people often have about maintenance afterward.

Who is a facelift for?

If you have to spend a long time and a lot of money on repeated laser lifting just to figure out what you need, that would be a big waste.

There is a simple self-check method to see whether you are in a state where a Gangnam facelift is necessary.

Look at your face in the mirror and check whether your aging skin has sagged and formed wrinkles in front of the ears.

In your 40s or 50s, the wrinkles may be barely noticeable, while in your 60s or 70s, most people have more prominent wrinkles.

Even if you are older, if your condition is well managed and you have no wrinkles in front of the ears, you may not need treatment. But if wrinkles are visible there, it may be worth considering a facelift.

Extent of the incision

A Gangnam facelift is a large-scale procedure that involves making an incision in front of the ear, where wrinkles have formed, and extending the incision further into the scalp or behind the ear.

This allows more of the sagging skin to be lifted, but it is also a procedure that many people worry about because of the fear of incisions.

For those who do not want to cut visible areas, there is also a method of making the incision inside the scalp and lifting only within a limited range.

However, if someone does not want any excision at all, a facelift is not a suitable option, and they would have to rely on thread lifting and laser lifting.

If wrinkles have formed in front of the ears and skin elasticity has significantly declined with age, limited methods alone may not provide sufficient satisfaction.

Worried about incision scars?

Because the incision is extensive and skin is removed, many people worry about scars remaining and becoming noticeable afterward.

However, as mentioned in the self-check above, you should not forget that people who need a Gangnam facelift already have wrinkles in front of the ears.

It can be seen as a matter of whether to leave an incision mark in place of the wrinkles, or to leave the wrinkles as they are without making an incision.

It cannot be said that no mark will remain after the incision, but it is also worth considering that scars tend to be less noticeable as people get older.

As people age, wounds heal more slowly, and raised scar tissue rarely develops.

What should you be careful about?

If you decide to get a Gangnam facelift, being in good health also plays an important role in the results afterward.

Because many people are already older, they often have conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, along with various other illnesses.

And when an illness is worsened, wounds do not heal well, so it may take a long time to recover.

Since this is a large-scale method that lifts the skin through an incision, proceeding while in good health is a big help.

If a date has been set, I recommend managing your health so that you can proceed with both body and mind prepared.

Criteria for choosing a medical institution

As I have explained repeatedly, a facelift is one of the lifting procedures that can produce dramatic results, but it also involves a large-scale process.

To achieve satisfying results, it is important to choose medical staff who have experienced large-scale facelifts countless times across a wide range of cases.

Our clinic is a plastic surgery clinic that focuses solely on lifting, and we have accumulated extensive data from numerous cases involving various lifting procedures.

Even before SMAS became a focus elsewhere, we began studying it, and we now have substantial experience and technique.

This is why you should choose a clinic that focuses only on lifting and has a deep understanding of the SMAS layer and extensive case experience.

The importance of maintenance

You may also wonder how long a facelift lasts, and whether you need to get another facelift once the maintenance period ends.

The maintenance period varies by individual, but you can think of it as roughly 10 years.

Even from the perspective of those of us who perform lifting procedures, I believe it is unnecessary to undergo a large-scale lift multiple times in a lifetime.

That said, if the skin has already sagged, I also want to emphasize that lifting it through a facelift is necessary.

After lifting the sagging skin, maintaining younger-looking skin for a longer time can be achieved through laser lifting or various aesthetic treatments.

A place that only does lifting

Our clinic focuses solely on lifting to manage skin aging.

In addition to Gangnam facelift procedures, we offer a variety of lifting methods and help each person become more youthful through a method suited to them under careful diagnosis.

Above all, because we handle everything from small-scale to large-scale procedures, we have the great advantage of being able to respond step by step according to the degree of skin aging.

Moreover, because a facelift is large in scale, there are not many places that perform it, and very few have accumulated enough data.

Experience for yourself how to look younger tomorrow at a clinic where trustworthy experience, skill, and careful care are all possible.

Become younger tomorrow than you are today!
