For a more natural look

Hello.

This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.

Mutoel provides care with the goal of proposing procedures and surgeries that suit each client’s situation and purpose through a specialized diagnostic process carried out in collaboration between plastic surgery specialists and dermatology specialists.

We promise to provide a pleasant experience based on trust throughout every step, from comfortable and professional consultations to detailed planning and aftercare.

We will always strive to be your reliable medical partner, helping you address personal concerns and complexes.

When we discuss lifting surgery in the clinic, we often receive sharp questions such as, "Even if you get a lift, doesn’t it just make your face feel tight while some areas still look saggy or hollow? Why is that?"

We also often hear people say, "I had fat grafting, but my facial line doesn’t seem as defined as I expected."

Facial aging is somewhat too complex to explain as just one issue, such as skin sagging or fat decreasing or increasing in specific areas.

For overall improvement, each cause of aging needs to be addressed separately.

By combining the procedures of "mini facelift" and "facial fat liposuction and grafting," which can produce synergy with relatively little burden in terms of surgery and recovery, it is possible to bring about a more youthful look.

Today, I will explain in detail everything from the benefits of combining these three procedures to who they are recommended for and how aftercare is handled.

What is a mini facelift?

It is a surgical option that reduces the extent of the incision compared with a traditional facelift, lowering the burden of recovery.

A mini facelift is performed under sedation anesthesia. It is a lifting procedure in which a small incision of about 1 cm is made in the temporal scalp, and the sagging skin and the SMAS layer are lifted together.

Rather than simply pulling the outer surface of the skin, it lifts the deeper fascia as well using threads that dissolve in the body over six months, allowing a stable lifting effect to be maintained for a long time.

It is most suitable for people concerned about midface sagging, nasolabial folds, or a less defined jawline, and is recommended when a large surgery feels burdensome but you want a clearer lifting effect than a non-surgical procedure can provide.

What is facial fat liposuction and grafting?

When it comes to facial fat, less is not always better, and having more is not necessarily a bad thing.

The problem is fat that is not in the right place.

If excess fat gathers in areas such as the double chin, under the jawline, or the buccal area, the face can look saggy and older.

In that case, using facial fat liposuction to reduce and tidy up the excess fat can restore facial contours and create a more defined impression.

By filling hollow areas with facial fat grafting, the face gains vitality and the overall balance improves.

As people age, volume gradually decreases in areas such as the front cheekbones, under the eyes, and the front cheeks, which can make the face look tired or older.

At this time, grafting autologous fat to appropriately replenish the 부족한 volume can smooth out the overall facial line and create a more youthful impression.

This is a procedure combination with very high satisfaction, especially for people with a thin face, thin skin, or a noticeably aged look caused by severe localized hollowing.

What is the recovery process like?

Even if the three procedures are done together, the recovery period does not become longer.

Of course, there may be a little more swelling and bruising than with a single procedure, but in most cases the daily discomfort is almost gone after about one week.

In the early stage, the swelling may make the face feel somewhat awkward, but as time passes, the fat gradually settles and the lifting effect appears naturally. Around one month later, it is an effective combination that may prompt people around you to say, “Did you lose weight?” or “You look better.”

Why consider these three options together?

As mentioned, a mini facelift is a procedure that lifts the SMAS layer to improve the overall impression.

By not stopping at simply lifting, but appropriately combining fat liposuction to remove unnecessary volume and fat grafting to fill areas lacking volume, the overall balance can be adjusted naturally and evenly.

We recommend this procedure for people who want to improve the overall facial impression caused by aging, those concerned about aging signs caused by volume loss such as hollow cheeks or nasolabial folds, and those who want to address multiple concerns with a single surgery.

At Mutoel, all procedures and surgeries are customized with delicate adjustments to match each individual’s facial structure, proportions, and situation.

From consultation to design, surgery, and aftercare, every step is carried out responsibly,

and as a family-run clinic where the husband and wife directors and the father see patients together, we sincerely care for each client, do not provide excessive treatment, and recommend only the procedures and surgeries that are truly necessary.

To conclude..

There are two major concerns regarding facial aging.

One is the downward sagging of the skin and fascia, and the other is the volume issue caused by fat movement.

Fat around the cheeks and nasolabial area moves downward, while areas that originally had volume, such as under the eyes, the front cheekbones, and the temples, become increasingly hollow, becoming a concern for many people.

The combination of mini facelift and facial fat liposuction and grafting is not simply about doing more surgeries; it is a way to approach the situation three-dimensionally by addressing each issue that needs improvement.

Simply pulling the face without restraint can look unnatural, and conversely, filling only can also become unnatural.

When the procedure is carried out according to a balanced plan tailored to your face, it leads to the most natural and long-lasting results.

If you are worried that your face looks harsher than before as you age, please work with Mutoel, which provides specialized collaborative care, to achieve the best possible outcome.

This has been Mutoel Plastic Surgery, always thinking from the client’s point of view.

Thank you.
