A Review of Facelift Surgery and Double Chin Muscle Tying in a Woman in Her 50s

Hello.

I am Yoo Young-gi, the chief director of Roy Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, I’d like to introduce a case of a woman in her late 50s who underwent a facelift and neck lift.

She works as a teacher, and

she said she was always very conscious about the concern that, if she looked older, people might misunderstand that she could not properly teach the latest trends and knowledge.

Here is her pre-surgery appearance.

Because of the sagging facial jowls, you can see that the jawline has collapsed, and the boundary between the face and neck has almost disappeared. Also, when the double chin is viewed from the side, you can see how prominent the salivary gland is and how far it hangs below the bone.

These days, younger generations are more likely to think of a “teacher” not as an authoritative figure, but as someone who is trendy and open-minded, so she felt strongly that concerns about appearance could also affect the learning atmosphere.

She said she always felt envious of her colleagues who looked youthful.

Even though they were about the same age, their facial lines were distinct and they looked full of energy, so students were more actively engaged in those teachers’ classes.

She tried to comfort herself by thinking, “Appearance isn’t everything,” but as time went on, whenever students who actually attended her classes said things like, “You look tired, teacher,” she said she became very stressed.

While worrying about this, she decided to proceed with facelift surgery and neck lift surgery, along with a procedure using double chin muscle tying.

Why is muscle tying needed for a double chin?

People often think a double chin is caused simply by excess fat, but double chin muscle tying addresses a more fundamental cause.

Under the chin, not only fat but also a muscle called the platysma runs from the upper neck to below the chin.

When this muscle loosens, the neck line collapses, and the area under the jawline easily becomes bulged.

Simple liposuction may only provide a temporary effect, but tying the muscle can produce a firmer and longer-lasting improvement.

To maximize the effect, it should not stop there.

At our clinic in particular, double chin muscle tying is performed not only in the central area but also widely toward the outer sides.

If the muscle is tied only in the center, one side may loosen or the tension may not act evenly, but if it is firmly tied toward the outer sides as well, we can expect reduced recurrence risk and better long-term maintenance.

The patient who had surgery this time also underwent neck lift and facelift surgery together, and by carefully performing double chin muscle tying, she was able to achieve a much more defined jawline.

Double Chin Sculpture Procedure Technique: The Secret to Maintaining Results for More Than 10 Years

The point I confidently emphasize is that double chin muscle tying is firmly performed simultaneously in multiple areas.

Rather than tying the platysma only in the center, if it is strongly secured under the jawline all the way to both outer sides in a triple fixation, a beautiful neck line can be maintained for a much longer period.

In addition, the main three causes of a double chin

• salivary gland enlargement, fat (excess subcutaneous fat), and enlargement of the digastric muscle are partially and safely removed, which helps improve the overall fullness.

Through this process, the fundamental looseness of the neck muscles is addressed, and unnecessary volume is reduced, so it connects naturally with the lifted cheek line from the facelift, clearly defining the boundary between the face and neck.

In fact, when double chin muscle tying is done properly, the sagging under the chin is barely visible from the side, so a noticeably younger look can be expected.

5-Month Follow-Up

The patient originally planned to come back 6 months after the facelift, but because she thought her schedule would be too busy then, she visited at the 5-month mark after surgery and kept saying with a bright smile that she was very satisfied.

There is still some residual swelling, but after 6 months and again after 1 year, I have often seen the line become much softer and settle more naturally.

I told her with confidence that she would become even more beautiful.

When she met acquaintances she hadn’t seen in a long time, they kept saying things like, “You’ve become so beautiful.” “You look much brighter and younger.” She said these reactions made going out much more enjoyable these days.

In particular, students who attend her classes used to say that she looked angry, but now they often tell her that her expression has become very soft, which makes her even happier.

Naturally, when you improve your appearance, the other person tends to respond positively, so she also said the classroom atmosphere has become much more lively.

In this way, improving appearance is not simply about looking younger; it can also boost your confidence and have a positive impact on interpersonal relationships and social life.

For people like this case who worry that their face looks saggy and not age-appropriate, a facelift, neck lift, and especially “triple double chin muscle tying” can be an effective solution.

Because simple fat removal or laser procedures have limitations, the root causes must be addressed, from the platysma to the digastric muscle, so that lasting improvement in firmness is possible.

After surgery, please avoid vigorous exercise or saunas for a certain period, and follow the postoperative care instructions provided by the clinic well; this will improve recovery speed and satisfaction with the results.

How about creating a newly firm neck line with “double chin muscle tying” and regaining a look that is much younger and more vibrant than your actual age?

We will continue to share various patient cases and useful information, so if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.
