<Actual facelift surgery case at DM Plastic Surgery>

Aging is a natural process that everyone experiences, and it gradually begins after the growth period ends.

As collagen production decreases with age, reduced elasticity, sagging, wrinkles, and other changes occur.

As the facial features and face begin to sag, changes in one’s appearance can become a source of significant concern whenever looking in the mirror, causing no small amount of stress! Many people try to erase these signs through popular beauty home-care devices or lifting procedures, but because they do not address the fundamental causes of aging, the effects are very temporary and limited ㅜㅜ. These days, more people are visiting the clinic with an interest in facelift surgery to regain the firm appearance they had in their younger years. Today, let’s take a look at facelift surgery, which can help you meet your younger self once again ❤✨✨

In the past, people accepted reduced skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles as natural signs of aging, but today, many actively seek to prevent and improve the effects of aging.

Among the methods for improving signs of aging, ultrasound and laser lifting procedures are very popular. Although they have the advantage of requiring no separate recovery period, they must be repeated regularly, which is why more people are considering facelift surgery. Because it improves the underlying causes of facial aging itself, it can provide clear and distinct results. The procedure involves making an incision around the ears and lifting the sagging tissues extending from the face to the neck, allowing improvement across all areas of the face and producing dramatic, distinct effects!

As life expectancy increases in the era of 100-year lifespans, more middle-aged and older people are taking care of their appearance. If you are concerned about increased wrinkles and sagging skin, are hesitant to visit a clinic, or are considering a facelift because of the signs of aging, please focus on today’s facelift post, which offers a clear wrinkle-reduction effect!

Simply pulling the skin is no longer enough for lifting!

DM Plastic Surgery’s facelift surgery incorporates the expertise of Director Yoo Won-min, a board-certified plastic surgeon with 30 years of clinical experience. It does not involve simply pulling the skin to perform a facelift.

Through sufficient consultation with a specialist, the problem areas are identified, and surgery is performed for each individual through a customized plan, resulting in high satisfaction.

DM Plastic Surgery’s SMAS facelift elevates and firmly fixes both the SMAS layer beneath the skin and the retaining ligaments, increasing the lifting effect and its duration.

Pulling the SMAS layer is what makes a true lift!

The human face consists of multiple layers of structure. In particular, facial aging occurs when the SMAS layer, which connects the skin and muscles, weakens and can no longer function properly.

DM Plastic Surgery’s SMAS facelift checks the overall condition of facial wrinkles and lifts the skin and SMAS layer together. It is an effective procedure for improving wrinkles and creating a more youthful appearance.

• Semi-permanent surgical effects
• Facial contour reduction and a V-line effect
• Natural-looking youthful skin
• Overall improvement in facial wrinkles
• Incisions made along the ear line

DM Plastic Surgery Facelift Surgery Before & After

The patient was concerned about skin that had lost its elasticity and become sagging, and chose facelift surgery at DM Plastic Surgery.

This photo was taken two months after facelift surgery at DM Plastic Surgery.

Compared with the preoperative photo, the previously loose and sagging skin that had lost its elasticity appears firmer, as can be seen in the photo.

Lifting the SMAS layer and releasing the retaining ligaments for an enhanced lifting effect!

What is the SMAS layer?

It is a thin fibromuscular layer located between the subcutaneous fat layer and the muscle layer. It transmits muscle movement to the skin and is characterized by being vulnerable to gravity because it is very closely attached to the skin.

By fixing the SMAS layer as well—the fundamental cause of skin aging—a stronger and longer-lasting lifting effect can be achieved. Because pulling the SMAS layer addresses the underlying problem of facial sagging, this procedure offers greater effects and satisfaction than lifting that pulls only the skin.

If you want a definite lifting effect, DM Plastic Surgery’s SMAS facelift provides high satisfaction through a stronger lifting effect because the entire area from the cheekbones to the masseter retaining ligaments is released!

How Is Facelift Surgery at DM Plastic Surgery Performed?

1. The facial contours appropriate for the individual’s condition are carefully assessed and designed.

2. Incisions are made from inside the inconspicuous hairline, along the ear line, and to the back of the ear.

3. The skin tissue is separated to lift the sagging tissues within the area marked with diagonal lines.

4. The sagging skin is removed, and the cheekbone retaining ligaments and masseter retaining ligaments are released so that the SMAS layer can be lifted and firmly fixed.

5. After fixing the lifted skin, the excess skin is excised and the incision is meticulously sutured.

DM facelift surgery is performed using these methods. To achieve positive results, it should be carried out after sufficient consultation with lifting specialists who have extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical experience.

Experience a true lift!

Under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of clinical experience and diverse expertise, you can achieve semi-permanent surgical effects. Rather than improving only facial wrinkles, the procedure improves wrinkles throughout the face, from the eye area to the neck, helping create a harmonious, youthful appearance.

When performing facelift surgery, the skin is lifted firmly together with the SMAS layer rather than only the surface of the skin. Unnecessary tissue is removed and the incision is neatly sutured. This addresses the underlying cause rather than merely improving the external appearance, allowing more effective improvement. Incisions are made along the ear line to reduce concerns about scarring.

You can experience greater effects and a longer duration than with general lifting treatments.
