“Do you have to get surgery for lifting?”

When consulting about lifting in Gangseo-gu, I often hear questions like this.

“Would Ulthera or Thermage be enough?”

“I’m scared of surgery. Couldn’t a procedure be enough?”

In the consultation room, I always say this:

“There is no single right answer. The method depends on the degree of sagging, skin elasticity, and how much change you want.”

Lifting is not about ‘restoring elasticity,’ but about putting sagging skin and muscles back in place.

So whether laser, thread lifting, or surgery is appropriate can only be decided after examining the facial condition accurately.

1. Why lifting is needed

2. Laser lifting

3. Thread lifting

4. Surgical lifting

5. Why a combined lifting plan is needed

6. Lifestyle management is also necessary

7. Why lifting is needed

1. Decreased skin elasticity – skin loosens as collagen decreases

2. Sagging of the cheeks and jawline – cheek volume in the midface and the jawline collapse

3. Age-related changes in facial structure – skin, fat, and muscle all move downward

Especially after the late 30s, there are limits to managing only the surface of the skin.

2. Laser lifting

1. Effects

Stimulates the dermis and SMAS layer to regenerate collagen

• Improves elasticity + reduces fine wrinkles

• Quick return to daily life after the procedure

2. Representative devices

• Ulthera: Lifts by pulling on deep layers with ultrasound

• Thermage: Improves skin texture and elasticity with radiofrequency

• InMode: Improves fat and elasticity at the same time

3. Recommended for

• People in their 30s to 40s, when early sagging has started

• People whose elasticity has decreased but surgery feels too burdensome

• People who want a natural change through steady care

3. Thread lifting

Various types of thread lifting

1. Effects

• Uses dissolvable threads to physically lift sagging skin upward

• Improves elasticity by stimulating collagen production

• Immediate effect + natural-looking change

2. Recommended for

• People in their 30s to 40s for whom laser alone is not enough, but surgery feels burdensome

• Cases with noticeable sagging of the cheeks and jawline

• People who want a sharper jawline and a more youthful impression

Thread lifting is a method that creates both a “visible effect” and “internal changes in the skin” at the same time.

4. Surgical lifting

1. Effects

• Lifts not only the skin but also directly pulls the SMAS layer

• Fundamentally corrects wrinkles and sagging

• Large and long-lasting effect (5 to 10 years or more)

2. Recommended for

• People in their 40s to 50s and older, with severe sagging and a lot of excess skin

• Cases where laser or thread lifting has limitations

• People who want to fundamentally improve overall facial sagging

5. Why a combined lifting plan is needed

Many patients ask, “Which procedure is the best?”

I always say this:

“There's no single best procedure. Instead, there is a combination that suits your face.”

• If skin elasticity has decreased → focus on laser

• If the jawline collapse is noticeable → combine with thread lifting

• If deep wrinkles and midface sagging are severe → surgical lifting

It is most important to plan step by step according to the condition of the face and age.

6. Lifestyle management is also necessary

Lifting is not something that ends with one procedure.

• Sun protection: Prevents collagen breakdown

• Weight maintenance: Sudden weight changes can reduce elasticity

• Correcting sleeping posture and facial-expression habits: Unconscious muscle tension causes wrinkles

Consistent lifestyle habits help maintain the effects of the procedure for a long time.

If you are considering lifting in Gangseo-gu,

rather than asking whether it is “laser or surgery,”

it is more important to know which stage your face is in right now.

• Early sagging → Laser lifting

• Moderate sagging → Combine with thread lifting

• Severe sagging → Surgical lifting

The key to looking youthful is diagnosis, not technique.

Finding the lifting method that suits me by considering skin elasticity, muscle condition, and fat distribution,

that is true natural lifting.
