Yangcheon-gu Lifting: The Right Method Is Different for My Face

“Lately, my sagging face has been bothering me more.”

When consulting about lifting in Yangcheon-gu, I hear this often.

“I used to only take care of my skin, but these days my jawline feels like it’s collapsed.”

“When I smile, the nasolabial folds get deeper, and my cheeks have dropped.”

As skin ages, collagen decreases, and the face’s fat and muscles gradually move downward.

So simple ‘skin care’ is not enough,

and there are times when lifting is needed to pull up the facial structure itself again.

When I consult, I say this:

“There is no single answer to lifting. The method changes depending on the degree of sagging, skin thickness, and age.”

1. Signs that lifting is needed

2. Laser lifting

3. Thread lifting

4. Surgical lifting

5. Combined lifting design

6. Lifestyle management is also necessary

8. Signs that lifting is needed

• When looking in the mirror, the jawline feels blurred.

• The cheeks have dropped, making the nasolabial folds deeper.

• Even though I take care of my skin, my face still looks tired.

• My face looks bigger in photos.

If you start noticing these changes,

it is reasonable to think that collagen in the skin has decreased and that lifting is needed.

2. Laser lifting

1. Effects

• Stimulates collagen regeneration in the deeper layers of the skin

• Improves fine lines and elasticity

• Refines the jawline and cheeks to improve facial impression

2. Representative devices

• Ulthera: deep lifting by using ultrasound to pull the SMAS layer

• Thermage: strengthens skin texture and elasticity with radiofrequency

• InMode: improves elasticity and fat for facial contouring

3. Recommended for

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

• Those who want natural changes but feel surgery is too burdensome

• Those looking for a method with a short recovery period after the procedure

Laser lifting is most often recommended for those who want changes that are “natural and not obvious.”

3. Thread lifting

Various thread lifting procedures

1. Effects

• Uses dissolvable threads to directly lift from within the skin

• Immediate lifting + stimulation of collagen production

• Improves the midface overall, including the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds

2. Recommended for

• Cases of moderate sagging that cannot be addressed with lasers alone

• People in their 30s to 40s whose jawline has collapsed and cheeks have sagged

• Those who want a clear lifting effect but feel surgery is too burdensome

Thread lifting is chosen when you want a “visible change.”

It directly lifts sagging that lasers cannot fully correct, creating an immediate difference.

4. Surgical lifting

1. Effects

• Directly lifts the skin and muscle layer (SMAS) to correct overall facial sagging

• Fundamentally improves wrinkles and skin laxity

• The effect is large and the duration is long (5 to 10 years or more)

2. Recommended for

• People in their 40s to 50s and older with severe skin sagging

• Cases where procedures alone are not enough to improve the condition

• Those who want clear results and long-lasting effects

Surgery is not a “last resort,” but rather the choice when it is the “most certain method.”

If done at the right time, recovery can also be fast and natural-looking results can be achieved.

5. Combined lifting design

One of the things patients ask most often in the consultation room is,

“What should I do to get the best result?”

I answer like this:

“It’s not that there is one good procedure; there is a combination that fits your face.”

1. If only skin elasticity has decreased → focus on laser lifting

2. If jawline collapse is pronounced → combine laser and thread lifting

3. If deep wrinkles and cheek sagging are severe → surgical lifting

In the end, what matters is not age, but the degree of structural change in the face right now.

6. Lifestyle management is also necessary

To maintain the effects of lifting procedures for longer, lifestyle management is also important.

1. Sun protection: ultraviolet rays are a major cause of collagen destruction

2. Moisturizing care: dry skin leads to reduced elasticity

3. Weight maintenance: rapid dieting can cause loss of facial elasticity

4. Correcting sleeping posture: the habit of sleeping on your side can cause facial asymmetry and sagging

These are small habits, but if practiced consistently, they can help maintain the procedure’s effects much longer.

7. In closing

If you are considering lifting in Yangcheon-gu,

rather than asking, “Is laser better, or is surgery better?”

it is important to first check what stage your face is in now.

• Early sagging → laser lifting

• Moderate sagging → combine thread lifting

• Severe sagging → surgical lifting

Lifting is not simply about smoothing wrinkles; it is a process of restoring a collapsed facial line and changing the impression.

What matters most is not the device or the method, but accurate diagnosis and a customized plan.
