Hello.

I am Lee Won, the chief surgeon at 21 Plastic Surgery^^

For those who still look tired even after getting enough sleep,

for those whose nasolabial folds seem deeper even when smiling,

and for those whose hearts feel heavier every time they stand in front of the mirror,

I hope this post can be a small help today.

Today, I’ll honestly explain the facial and neck lift that so many people are curious about.

✔ The real cause of sagging is the SMAS layer.

Many people think facial sagging is simply that the skin has stretched,

but in fact, the root cause of sagging begins with

the SMAS fascial layer located beneath the dermal layer of the skin.

Because procedures that simply pull the skin surface alone cannot correct this layer,

the effect does not last long.

The 21 Plastic Surgery facial and neck lift

lifts the SMAS layer itself

to address the fundamental sagging of the face

and wrinkles.

✔ What makes the 21 Plastic Surgery facial and neck lift different?

The first thing I want to talk about is

the incision line.

The part that people who are hesitant about surgery worry about most is the scar.

I hide the incision line as much as possible inside the hairline and the natural wrinkle lines in front of the ears,

so that signs of the incision are not easily visible in everyday life.

Subcutaneous dissection + lifting after definite dissection of the retaining ligaments

After delicately dissecting the subcutaneous layer beneath the skin,

I also thoroughly dissect the retaining ligaments that hold the SMAS layer in place.

Only then can the SMAS be freely pulled and lifted in the desired direction,

allowing a strong and long-lasting lifting effect.

If the retaining ligaments are not sufficiently dissected, the effect is weaker

and quickly returns; that is the reason.

✔ 1 week after surgery

Even after deciding on surgery,

the question I hear most often is, "So how long does recovery take?"

To be honest,

for about 3 to 4 days right after surgery, there will be swelling and bruising,

and you may feel a pulling sensation at the incision site.

However, within 1 to 2 weeks, most people recover to the point where normal outings are possible.

Because the incision line is located inside the hairline

and the natural wrinkles around the ears,

it is naturally covered by the hair.

Many patients who come in after surgery say, "It’s only been a week since the surgery,

but it already looks this different?"

and every time they say that, I feel proud too 😊

✔ Why 21 Plastic Surgery is special

A facial and neck lift is a procedure that requires a deep understanding of anatomical structures

and delicate surgical skill.

In particular, how thoroughly the retaining ligaments are dissected

determines the strength and duration of the effect,

so it is most important that an experienced specialist performs the surgery directly from start to finish.

Also, through sufficient consultation before surgery,

after closely analyzing the patient’s facial structure and aging pattern,

a surgical plan that is the most natural and optimized for the individual is established.

Aging is natural,

but looking older than your age

is not something you have to accept...

You deserve to spend each day with confidence in your face!

If you have any questions about a facial and neck lift,

please feel free to contact 21 Plastic Surgery anytime.

We will sincerely think it through together.

Thank you^^
