Hello, this is Director Im Young-soo of Troy Plastic Surgery.

These days, there are so many lifting procedures and treatments that I often hear people say,

“I honestly don’t know which treatment is right for me.”

Ultherapy, Thermage, InMode, thread lifting, skin boosters, and more...

The names are diverse, but in the end, there is only one thing patients want.

“Natural and long-lasting change.”

Since opening Troy Plastic Surgery, I have followed one principle.

“More important than the machine or the name of the procedure is the eye for reading the face and the depth of the plan.” A procedure is not just a simple ‘technique,’

but a process of interpretation that reads a person’s facial structure, expressions, age, and skin condition together.

  1. The face is not completed by one area alone

Even if the nasolabial folds are deep, the cause may be sagging cheeks or reduced cheekbone volume.

Even if the jawline looks collapsed, in many cases the greater cause is reduced skin elasticity rather than fat under the chin.

That is why at Troy, we prioritize overall facial-balance lifting rather than treatment by individual areas.

  1. The purpose of treatment is to become younger without looking obvious

Naturalness does not simply mean being not excessive.

Only when skin texture, expression, and facial lines are harmonized together can they create the impression of “looking healthily younger.”

That is why Troy’s lifting is designed along three axes:

• Structure (elasticity) → Ultherapy, InMode, thread lifting

• Skin quality (texture and tone) → Thermage, Pico, skin boosters

• Volume (three-dimensionality) → Juvelook, filler, fat grafting

  1. Diagnosis is more important than treatment

The part of the consultation where I spend the most time with patients is diagnosis.

Rather than which treatment is popular,

it is more important to see at which layer (skin, fascia, muscle) the current facial sagging is occurring.

For example,

• If skin sagging is the main issue → laser lifting (Ultherapy, Thermage)

• If midface fat has shifted → thread lifting, fat repositioning

• If fascial-layer laxity is severe → mini lift, facelift

In the end, an ‘accurate diagnosis’ creates a ‘natural result.’

• Ultherapy lifting – pulling the deep layer (SMAS)

• Thermage lifting – improving skin texture and elasticity

• InMode FX/Forma – simultaneous fat and skin management

• Thread lifting – immediate lifting + collagen regeneration

• Surgical lifting (mini lift, facelift) – correction of structural sagging

These five methods are combined according to the condition of the face, age, and skin thickness to create a personalized lifting plan for each patient.

  1. People who did not see a big change even after undergoing lifting procedures multiple times

  2. People who do not want surgery but have noticeable loss of elasticity

  3. People who want their impression to look brighter in a natural way

  4. People who want to improve skin texture, elasticity, and contours together

Troy’s lifting is not about ‘pulling things up,’

but about restoring the face’s original structure and expression.

  1. Philosophy of Post-Procedure Care

The completion of lifting does not end with the procedure. The collagen regeneration process continues for 2 to 3 months after the procedure,

so it is important to follow these three things carefully:

• Sun protection

• Moisturizing care

• Regular sleep and fluid intake

Also, to help skin regeneration occur well,

combining skin boosters or laser toning can make the results last much longer.

  1. The ‘Standard of Youthfulness’ Troy Pursues

I define the goal of lifting like this:

“Not to erase age, but to organize the passage of time.”

An older face can still be beautiful. But real youthfulness is about correcting sagging or collapsed structure and returning the expression and impression to a more ‘comfortable’ state.

That is why Troy’s lifting aims for a stable face that stays natural over time, rather than short-term change.

Mok-dong Troy Plastic Surgery is not simply a clinic that recommends procedures.

It is a place where we think together about what change is most needed for this face right now.

• Energy-based lifting such as Ultherapy, Thermage, and InMode,

• Thread lifting and surgical lifting,

• Skin boosters and skin care as well,

at the center of every procedure are accurate diagnosis and naturalness.

The essence of lifting is not ‘pulling’ but ‘alignment.’

Putting the collapsed structure back in place,

that is what Troy considers real lifting.
