At 이지함피부과,
I am Director Lee Yudeuk,
and I examine patients’ skin.
I often meet people who hold up a mirror and gently lift both cheeks.
“Doctor, it wasn’t like this before, but at some point, the area around my mouth started to look heavy.” A patient approaching forty said this as she carefully took out a photograph.
She said that the defined jawline in photos from several years ago seemed blurred these days.
Having gone through a similar age myself, I have also experienced that feeling in front of the mirror, so I understand how heavy that concern can feel.
Today, for those who have similar concerns, I would like to explain the points worth calmly reviewing before deciding on lower-face sagging lifting care in Sinnonhyeon, just as we discuss them in the consultation room.
By the time you finish reading, your vague concerns may become a little clearer and more organized into specific questions.
What exactly
does lower-face sagging mean?
The lower face refers to
the area extending from below the nose
to the tip of the chin.
When this area sags,
it is easiest to understand it as a process
in which collagen and elastic fibers
within the skin decrease over time,
weakening the support
that once held the skin up.
Just as the springs
of a mattress used for a long time
gradually sink,
the structures supporting the skin
slowly become looser.
As a result, lines around the mouth deepen,
the jawline becomes less defined,
and the face as a whole
can look heavier.

The changes people ask about most
in the consultation room
The patient who showed me her photo earlier
also asked,
“I haven’t even gained weight,
so why does my face look saggy?”
Sagging is often
more a matter of elasticity
than body weight.
When I listen to people considering
lower-face sagging lifting care in Sinnonhyeon,
I notice some common concerns.
They notice shadows around the mouth
when they smile, vertical lines
forming where their makeup settles,
or feel particularly self-conscious
about side-view photos
compared with front-facing ones.
These signs are like small letters
sent by your skin,
so I recommend taking a closer look
rather than putting them off.

Treatment approaches worth reviewing
before making a decision
There are several approaches
to managing lower-face elasticity.
Ultrasound treatments such as Doublo Gold,
V-RO, and Shurink deliver thermal energy
to deeper layers of the skin
to encourage collagen regeneration.
They can be compared to stitching
that gently tightens a stretched area
from the inside of an old garment.
Thermage, a radiofrequency device,
helps refine the elasticity
and texture of the skin’s surface.
Adding skin boosters such as Juvelook
or Rejuran may also provide positive changes
in hydration and skin texture.
However, which approach is right for you
depends on your skin thickness
and the degree of sagging.
Therefore, when considering lower-face sagging
lifting care in Sinnonhyeon,
it is important to diagnose your skin first
rather than follow a predetermined answer.

Honest answers
directly from the director
Q1. I don’t know which lifting treatment to choose.
A. If sagging is pronounced, ultrasound lifting, which works on deeper layers, may be suitable. If refining skin texture and elasticity is the priority, radiofrequency may be a better fit.
You can decide together after a diagnosis, based on your skin’s condition.
Q2. Is the treatment very painful?
A. The degree of pain varies from person to person.
You may feel a tingling sensation around the bones, while radiofrequency can produce a warm sensation. If necessary, we can use numbing cream to reduce discomfort.

Q3. When will I start to notice results?
A. Some changes may be visible immediately after treatment, but they gradually become clearer over four to twelve weeks as collagen builds up.
It is best to think of this not as an overnight change, but as a process that develops gradually.
Q4. I’m in my twenties. Can I receive the treatment?
A. If sagging is not severe, hydration-focused care may be more appropriate than an unnecessarily intensive treatment.
Your skin’s condition, rather than your age, should be the standard.

I hope you can review your options
with peace of mind
It is natural to feel concerned
about small changes in the mirror.
What matters is not haste,
but making a calm decision
