Can Liting Signature Lifting in Gangnam Plastic Surgery Firmly Improve Marionette Lines and Jowls?

Hello.

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

As aging progresses over time, the skin’s elasticity decreases and sagging occurs, leading to marionette lines that make the jowls more prominent.

What are marionette lines?

Marionette lines are wrinkles that appear due to sagging of the facial skin and the tissue beneath it. They run from the mouth toward the lower jaw. The jowls are fat located on the inner cheeks and are positioned in the lower part of the face.

Among these, marionette lines are also called “bulldog cheeks” because the skin on both sides of the lips sags downward, making the face look similar to a bulldog.

People often try to improve them with procedures such as Ulthera, Thermage, or Tune Face, but these can be financially burdensome, and another drawback is that they need to be done regularly to see results.

For a clear improvement in marionette lines, a lifting surgery that is less financially burdensome than repeated procedures and has a long-lasting effect can be more effective.

Today, I’d like to introduce Liting Signature Lifting, which helps not only with marionette lines but also with sagging in the midface and lower face.

Less damage, longer-lasting results! A lifting procedure that combines the advantages of treatment—less swelling and bruising for faster recovery—with the high effect and long-lasting results of surgery.

This is Liting Signature Lifting.

Traditional facelift surgery can offer a high level of improvement, but many people feel burdened by the large incision area and long recovery period.

Compared with such facelifts, Liting Signature Lifting has a shorter dissection range, and depending on the incision shape and area, it is classified into Liting M / U / L / J lifting. It is a lifting surgery that pulls not only loose skin but also the SMAS layer, which is the fascial layer.

Liting Signature Lifting at a glance

Liting Signature Lifting varies in surgery time / incision location / main improvement area depending on the incision shape and range. Among them, L lifting is a mid-stage facelift procedure. It is performed by making an incision from the sideburns to the middle of the ear, improving both the midface and lower face at the same time, so it is especially helpful for improving marionette lines. In addition, it can improve overall facial sagging and deep wrinkles, a sunken upper cheek, nasolabial folds, and even a double chin.

The key is the fascial pillar! How Liting Signature Lifting surgery is performed

In lifting surgery, it is important to correctly pull the SMAS layer, which lies between the subcutaneous fat layer and the facial muscles, in a vertical direction.

A medical thread is inserted into the safely dissected fascia, and when it is tightened into an oval shape, it becomes a fascial pillar. As aging progresses, the fascia stretches and sags downward. When a fascial pillar is created in the stretched fascia, the fascia becomes firmer and serves as a support to prevent it from sagging downward.

By creating a fascial pillar in the fascia and then pulling the skin at the same time to secure it firmly, Liting Signature Lifting can maintain its effect longer than a simple lifting procedure.

After creating the fascial pillar, the sagging fascia is pulled upward, folded, and fixed firmly to the temporal area. Then the loose skin is pulled, trimmed appropriately, and sutured.

At this stage, depending on the degree of sagging and the desired range of effect for each person, the basic Liting M/L procedure may include an upgraded “thread combination” process, allowing for better durability and volume improvement.

I hope the information shared today about bulldog cheeks, marionette lines, and Liting Signature Lifting at a Gangnam plastic surgery clinic will help you solve concerns about facial wrinkles and sagging based on more accurate information.

That concludes today’s post 😊
