Let’s Address Facial Sagging from the Root Cause! Real Changes from a Face and Neck Lift image 1

Hello, I’m Director Lee Won of 21 Plastic Surgery.

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought that

your facial line no longer looks the same as before?

As the nasolabial folds deepen, the cheeks sag, and the jawline becomes less defined,

a lot of people feel that the face is gradually looking longer and more tired.

These are natural changes that come with aging,

but seeing your face change day by day

can be a major source of stress for anyone...

To solve these issues,

many people have repeatedly tried thread lifting, lasers, or dermatology procedures,

but if they have not been able to get a clear result as desired,

there are many who end up looking for a more fundamental change.

Today, for those people, I will explain why a face and neck lift is important,

and how it can help restore the three-dimensional contour and natural youthfulness of the entire face

in detail, along with a case of a patient who visited our clinic.

Before surgery (front/side)

The patient who visited this time was a woman in her 60s.

After examination, overall facial sagging caused by aging was progressing,

and during the consultation, the patient wanted to undergo a face and neck lift

and remove a foreign substance that had been inserted into the face 30 years ago.

So the surgical plan was established as follows.

Surgical plan

Upper blepharoplasty re(correction of eye opening)+lower blepharoplasty

+face (foreign body removal)+neck lift+fat grafting (eyelids)

1 week after surgery (front/side)

One week after surgery,

we organized the sagging fat that had dropped downward,

and especially centered on the cheekbone and jowls area,

lifted the sagging skin and fascia to neatly refine the overall facial contour.

Although it still looked somewhat swollen due to post-op swelling,

the facial wrinkles and lines were noticeably more organized.

2 months after surgery (front/side)

Two months after surgery,

as the initial swelling had completely subsided,

a facial line with naturally improved sagging was achieved.

If you look at the photos above, can you see that the deep nasolabial folds improved,

and as the flesh that had bulged and sagged along the jawline was lifted,

the jawline became smoother?^^

The overall impression of the face changes,

and it is not simply about smoothing wrinkles,

but rather about ‘the face returning to its proper position,’

which is the core of a face and neck lift.”

Before surgery / After surgery

Why is a face and neck lift necessary?

As we age, reduced skin elasticity, the loosening of subcutaneous fat, and the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), which is the fascial layer,

as well as the retaining ligaments, cause sagging throughout the face.

To fundamentally address this sagging,

it is necessary not simply to pull the skin, but to restore the entire facial structure that has descended due to aging

through a face and neck lift.

Before surgery / After surgery

A face and neck lift

consists of two steps: dissection of the skin layer and correction of the SMAS layer.

In particular, the deep plane method lifts the SMAS and retaining ligaments together,

providing three-dimensional and long-lasting results,

and it shows excellent outcomes especially in improving nasolabial folds, the front cheek, and the jawline.

At 21 Plastic Surgery, based on the deep plane method,

we combine various customized procedures such as LSSA ultrasound liposuction, fat grafting, and deep buccal fat repositioning

to create each patient’s facial line naturally and in harmony.

And many people considering a facelift

worry, ‘Won’t there be any scars?’

The incision for a face and neck lift follows the line in front of the ear, around the earlobe,

and along the hairline behind the ear, and over time

it is naturally hidden among the hair and skin texture.

As with any surgery, there are certainly possible side effects.

However, if an experienced surgeon, precise anatomical knowledge,

and thorough post-operative care are carried out together,

good results can be achieved safely.

At 21 Plastic Surgery,

we carefully consider each patient’s constitution and skin condition,

and through sufficient consultation and detailed anatomical analysis,

we establish a customized surgical plan.

Restoring your natural beauty is

the greatest goal of 21 Plastic Surgery.
