Receive Seoul Thread Lifting Together with a Facelift

Hello, I am Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of 리팅성형외과.

Even skin that was once smooth and firm gradually sags and develops wrinkles as we age.

This is part of the aging process, so everyone inevitably experiences it.

People often try self-care to slow the process even a little.

However, if wrinkles become severe, it becomes difficult to manage them with home methods.

In such cases, receiving care through Seoul thread lifting can bring noticeable changes.

Today, let’s look at lifting and facelift methods for improving wrinkled, sagging skin, as well as ways to extend the duration of results.

The causes of aging

The skin is made up of the outer epidermis, the dermis, the fat layer, and the fascial layer.

The epidermis is the outermost layer and plays a role in protecting the skin from the outside environment.

The dermis is the layer where sweat glands, sebaceous glands, blood vessels, nerves, and hair roots are located, and it supplies nutrients to the skin through blood vessels.

Next, the fat layer contains fat cells and plays a role in maintaining body temperature and storing energy.

Lastly, the fascial layer connects the skin to the facial skeleton and protects blood vessels and nerves.

Among these, collagen within the skin plays an important role in facial elasticity.

If collagen decreases as aging progresses, sagging occurs.

In addition, the fiber tissue in the fat layer may loosen, or water may accumulate in the tissue and cause swelling, leading the face to droop downward.

What are the stages of aging?

Aging appears not only in the skin but in many other parts of the body as well.

In the case of the face, because the changes are visible, it can cause even more stress.

In the early stages, wrinkles tend to form mainly around thin skin or the facial muscles used frequently when making expressions.

As a result, wrinkles begin to appear around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.

In your 20s, wrinkles are not yet deep, so many people do not notice them much. But as you enter your 30s, collagen and elastic fibers gradually decrease, and wrinkles begin to form.

Then, as you reach your 50s, the skin’s regenerative ability declines, causing the face to sag downward and the speed of aging to increase.

Therefore, to improve wrinkles and sagging, appropriate care such as Seoul thread lifting should be combined according to the degree of progression.

If you want noticeable changes

When visiting for lifting, many people want noticeable changes from a single treatment.

However, if an incision is made, some hesitate to undergo surgery because they worry about scars on the face or a long recovery period.

For this reason, many prefer non-invasive methods such as laser or ultrasound lifting, or Seoul thread lifting.

If you are in your 50s or older and aging has progressed significantly, it may be difficult to feel a noticeable change with non-surgical methods.

That is why, even after receiving non-invasive lifting, some people return to consider a facelift.

What is a facelift?

When gravity acts on the face and the fascia layer and retaining ligaments can no longer withstand the force, aging progresses.

A facelift is a procedure that dissects and incises the fascia layer and retaining ligaments that cause aging, then tightens the sagging skin.

Through this, not only the forehead, glabella, and nasolabial folds, but also the jawline and neck wrinkles can be improved, and facial sagging can also be addressed.

The key to a facelift is pulling the fascia layer and precisely releasing the retaining ligaments.

If the dissection or release of the retaining ligaments is not done properly, bleeding and swelling may last longer and the recovery period may be extended.

Therefore, please seek consultation at a place with extensive knowledge of skin structure and ample experience.

A place that performs procedures in a segmented way

At our clinic, we propose personalized lifting solutions to address your concerns.

Rather than using just one method, we provide segmented lifting based on your degree of aging and skin condition.

If you feel only slight sagging due to early-stage loss of skin elasticity, we recommend Seoul lifting procedures.

Seoul lifting procedures do not require incisions, so there is no burden of scars, and recovery is fast enough to allow return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

It is a quick and simple way to restore skin elasticity and is recommended for those who are afraid of incisions.

Second, if the skin sagging has progressed beyond the early stage, mini lifting is recommended.

Mini lifting is a surgery that combines the benefits of a facelift, which offers strong and long-lasting results, with lifting procedures that provide quick effects and short recovery times.

It is a surgery that reduces the 부담 of incisions while increasing lifting effects, and it is loved by many people.

If sagging is severe, V-neck lifting, which includes a facelift and a neck lift, can improve both the neck sagging that resembles a rooster comb and the face at the same time.

In this way, depending on the degree of skin sagging, procedures and surgeries that can be applied are prepared step by step.

If you are worried about moderate to severe skin sagging and loss of facial contour due to aging, a facelift is needed.

This surgery does not simply pull the outer skin; it also lifts the SMAS layer, the fascia layer most affected by gravity, providing a structurally firmer result.

Also, if sagging in the neck and lower face line is a concern at the same time, V-neck lifting is recommended.

V-neck lifting adds neck lifting to the benefits of a facelift, making the overall contour look even more defined.

If you still look older even after lifting, it is because the volume beneath the skin has not been properly restored.

For such cases, we recommend the Smile Lift.

The Smile Lift is a special method that not only provides lifting effects but also restores volume beneath the skin, making it the most suitable lifting option for those concerned about both hollowness and sagging.

How can the duration of results be extended?

After surgery, non-surgical methods can be combined to extend the duration of results.

As mentioned earlier, wrinkles may be difficult to improve with non-surgical methods alone.

Therefore, rather than undergoing surgery after thread lifting, receiving laser, ultrasound, or Seoul thread lifting for post-facelift care can help maintain the surgically tightened skin for longer.

Therefore, we recommend visiting for consultation before aging progresses further.

Why natural lifting is possible

At our clinic, we help with various skin care treatments in addition to Seoul thread lifting.

Depending on the case, a person may still look older even after a procedure.

This is because cheek volume gradually decreases with age.

At this time, if fat grafting or liposuction is performed appropriately, you can receive lifting while maintaining natural facial volume.

If you are still unsure, we recommend consulting at our clinic, where natural lifting is possible, and working toward youthful-looking skin.

Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
