Frequently Asked Questions

How are treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam communicated?

Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided through a free one-on-one consultation. We prioritize a personalized quote tailored to each patient's diagnostic results, rather than comparison quotes or promotional prices.

How long does recovery take?

Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and the natural final result settles in after 2–3 months. Non-incisional and minimal-incision methods have a shorter downtime, while incisional and revision surgery can take somewhat longer to recover. We provide the precise recovery schedule for each procedure during your consultation.

How can I get a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam?

You can visit our main clinic on Dosan-daero in Gangnam for an in-person consultation, or have a remote consultation by phone, KakaoTalk, or online form. Through a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule. In accordance with Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, reviews and before-and-after materials are provided only on the basis of prior consent.

Can I see before-and-after photos in advance?

In accordance with the advertising provisions of Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, before-and-after cases may be viewed for medical purposes only by patients who have given prior consent and attended an in-person consultation. Publicly available materials are limited to de-identified cases for which consent has been completed. Detailed cases are explained directly by our medical staff during your consultation.

How are post-surgery side effects and aftercare handled?

Every surgery carries some possibility of side effects. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam monitors recovery-phase symptoms such as swelling, bruising, tightness, and a foreign-body sensation through a post-surgery regular check-up and care system (the Mihak Care System). We operate a 24-hour emergency contact line and an aftercare program.

What is the difference between non-incisional and incisional lifting in Gangnam?

Non-incisional lifting (thread or mini lifting) has a short downtime and aims for natural results, but the effect may not last as long. Incisional lifting such as the SMAS facelift requires a longer recovery but lasts longer and offers greater improvement of sagging. The choice depends on the degree of skin laxity, your age, and your lifestyle.

How long do the lifting results last?

Our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic SMAS facelift generally lasts about 5–10 years, while non-incisional mini and thread lifting typically lasts 2–3 years. Results vary from person to person depending on the progression of aging, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Can a forehead lift or forehead surgery also be done at the same time?

Our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic forehead surgery (endoscopic forehead lift) simultaneously improves drooping eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and glabellar lines. When performed together with a facelift, an integrated lift of the upper, mid, and lower face is possible.

How does a facelift differ from thread lifting?

A facelift fundamentally repositions sagging tissue, while thread lifting is a comparatively simple way to tidy the contour; the recommended approach depends on how much sagging there is and on your skin condition. We compare both at your consultation at Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam.

Who usually comes in to discuss anti-ageing lifting?

Consultations are most often sought by people who feel their look has changed through facial sagging or volume loss; the suitable method differs with individual skin elasticity and bone structure. At Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam we advise through examination and follow-up.

What should I prepare before an anti-ageing lifting consultation?

It helps to bring notes on the areas that bother you and the change you want, your history of previous surgery or procedures, medication you take, allergies and underlying conditions, and the recovery schedule you can manage. Whether an incisional or non-incisional method suits you, and to what extent, is advised individually after examination.

How do I plan my recovery after anti-ageing lifting?

Recovery speed varies with the extent of the procedure and your own condition. Confirm at your consultation how long to rest, how to care for the wound, what medication to take, when to visit, and when you can return to exercise and daily life; if anything unusual appears, contact the medical team through the channel you were given.

How is the price of a facelift quoted?

The cost depends on the extent of dissection (mid-face, lower face, neck), any accompanying procedures (brow lift, fat grafting) and the type of anesthesia. Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam quotes individually after assessment, on the principle of an honest quote based on the surgical plan rather than a comparison quote.

Where are the scars from a facelift?

The incision is designed along the pre- and post-auricular lines and the hairline, so it is hidden by the hair and the structure of the ear. The REAL SMAS facelift at Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam is closed with reduced tension on the incision so that the scar fades.

How long does recovery from a facelift take?

Generally 1–2 weeks until suture removal and 2–4 weeks for the major swelling to settle, with most people returning to daily life at around two weeks. It varies between individuals, so Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam provides a stage-by-stage recovery guide.

What is the difference between a full facelift and a mini lift?

A mini lift reduces the incision and dissection for faster recovery but improves a limited area, while the REAL SMAS facelift lifts the SMAS layer fully and improves the cheeks, jawline and neck far more. We advise on the recommended approach according to the degree of sagging at a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam.
