Mokdong lifting

Hello.

I am Im Young-soo, CEO of Troy Plastic Surgery, providing lifting treatment in Mokdong.

“Doctor, how many years does this last?”

This is the most common question I hear during Mokdong lifting consultations.

But talking about the maintenance period only in numbers

is not actually an accurate answer.

That is because lifting is not simply a procedure that “pulls things up,” but a process that induces a tissue response.

  1. The 3 factors that determine the lifting maintenance period

  2. How can we look at the average maintenance flow?

  3. In these cases, the maintenance period may feel shorter

  1. Skin thickness and elasticity

Even with the same Mokdong lifting,

the response speed differs depending on skin thickness and elasticity.

When the skin is thin → response is fast, maintenance may be shorter

When the skin is thick → response is slower, maintenance may be longer

This is a difference in each person’s structure.

Skin layer image for understanding

The sense of how long lifting lasts varies depending on the “current aging state.”

In the early stage of aging,

laser lifting alone is often sufficient, but if sagging has already progressed,

thread lifting or surgical lifting needs to be combined for the maintenance effect to last longer.

In Mokdong lifting consultations,

the first thing I look at is

whether “pulling up” is needed or “regeneration” is needed.

  1. Lifestyle habits

What has the biggest influence on the maintenance period

is surprisingly not the procedure, but lifestyle.

• Frequent drinking

• Smoking

• Rapid weight changes

• UV exposure

=> These can affect the collagen regeneration process.

  1. How can we look at the average maintenance flow?

Laser lifting devices, Ulthera and Thermage

• Laser lifting

→ 6 months to 1 year

• Thread lifting

→ 1 year to 2 years

• Facelift surgery

→ Structural maintenance for 5 years or more

However, these numbers are not an absolute guarantee.

For Mokdong lifting, the maintenance period is

more important in terms of

“what condition you are aiming for”

than “how many years it lasts.”

  1. In these cases, the maintenance period may feel shorter

Mokdong lifting

  1. When expectations were excessively high

  2. When the treatment intensity was too low

  3. When there is a large amount of fat

  4. When skin elasticity has dropped sharply

What I emphasize most in the clinic is

“the method that suits my face.”

  1. Q&A

Mokdong lifting

Q. Is Mokdong lifting something you do once and that’s it?

A. It is natural to approach it as a maintenance concept in most cases.

Q. Is there a way to extend the maintenance period?

A. Sunscreen, weight maintenance, and proper collagen management can help.

Q. If multiple devices are used at the same time, does it last longer?

A. Not necessarily. Too much stimulation can be a burden instead.

Doctor’s note

Lifting is a treatment that is completed over time.

The maintenance period is not the result,

but an extension of care.

  1. Summary

Mokdong lifting

The Mokdong lifting maintenance period is influenced more by

than by the type of procedure:

  1. Skin condition

  2. Stage of aging

  3. Lifestyle habits

The answer is not a number,

but “choosing what fits your current condition.”
