Facelift: A Procedure That Turns Back Time

As time passes, aging gradually causes the face to sag, skin elasticity to decrease, and fine wrinkles to appear—signs of the years gone by.

Procedures such as facelifts, thread lifts, and brow lifts can help lift sagging skin, turning back the clock to give your face a more youthful appearance.

Since the degree of sagging varies from person to person, it’s important to have thorough consultation with a specialist to design a personalized lifting plan tailored to each individual’s facial features.

Facial contouring surgery Procedure

The SMAS layer is the tissue that connects the facial skin to the underlying muscle layer. As we age, the SMAS layer sags or loosens, causing the facial skin to droop and wrinkles to form.

If only the skin is lifted, the sagging SMAS layer will cause the skin to sag again. By lifting the SMAS layer as well, the effects of the procedure can last for about 10 to 20 years.

Facelift surgery typically involves precise incisions along the hairline in front of and behind the ears. This allows the skin to be tightened and sagging areas to be removed, leaving minimal visible scarring after surgery.

Facial Contouring Surgery Key Information

Facelift surgery is a procedure that addresses sagging skin around the mouth and jawline caused by aging, which leads to marionette lines or deep nasolabial folds.

There will be swelling and bruising for about a week after surgery, and you can return to your daily life after about two weeks. Complete recovery may take 3 to 6 months.

Although it varies from patient to patient, facelift surgery usually lasts about 10 years. As we age, the skin naturally sags again, so corrections may be needed after 10 years.
