Facelift effects: what to check before setting your expectations
Have you perhaps heard the term “gatgi”?
Gatgi means GOD + baby, and it was once a popular term
used with the same meaning as “baby face.”
As such, demand for an appearance that looks young and youthful
has continued without slowing down.
As we age, skin that sags downward due to gravity
can seem a little far from a “gatgi” face.
Especially as we gradually move through our 30s and 40s,
the appearance that has changed from how we looked before
can also begin to wrinkle our confidence little by little.
To improve sagging skin morning and evening,
some people use various anti-wrinkle cosmetics
or try meridian massage,
but when it comes to feeling a noticeable improvement,
there may be certain limitations.
Turning back time for skin once aging has begun
is not easy, and choosing a method requires careful consideration.
While searching online for a method that might suit me,
I came to learn about the effects of facelift surgery,
and I felt that this surgical approach
could be a way to expect improvement.
When nasolabial folds are deeply etched into the face
When sagging jawline fat appears like a double chin
When you want to improve wrinkles and achieve a “gatgi” look
When cheek sagging is severe and the skin feels lacking in elasticity
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery REAL Facelift SMAS Face Lifting
At our clinic, sagging skin and fascia
are lifted or removed according to each person’s skin, muscle, fat-layer thickness, and degree of aging,
aiming for a firmer, more elastic appearance.
In particular,
we use multi-layer facelift surgery and lateral fascia excision
in an effort to enhance the effect.
Even at the same age, due to various factors
such as living environment and lifestyle habits, the speed and degree of aging can differ.
The depth of wrinkles and degree of skin elasticity,
the movement of muscle shape, the amount of fat, and more
must be checked and analyzed across various forms and locations
in order to expect positive results.
To check these points,
we primarily recommend a one-on-one consultation
with the surgeon in charge of lifting.
Many people hope for positive results after a facelift,
but they may also have concerns in the back of their mind.
There were largely five concerns,
so we reviewed them to help achieve satisfying facelift results.
1) Incision scars
The surgeon in charge of lifting at our clinic has performed many anti-aging procedures
and considers the skin condition and degree of sagging.
We adopted an approach that minimizes changes to the hairline, including the sideburns,
and the incision behind the ear is also placed within the hair,
so we worked to make scars less noticeable overall.
2) Recurrence of sagging
As part of our efforts to minimize recurrence,
we may pull or partially remove the SMAS, the fascial layer beneath the skin,
depending on the degree of sagging.
3) Return to daily life
This is not something to consider simply for facelift results alone,
but a complex improvement method that involves manipulating the fascial layer.
Depending on whether the current condition is accurately diagnosed and a plan is made,
the timing of returning to daily life may vary.
4) Pain occurrence
When separating the skin and pulling or partially removing the fascia,
the degree of pain may vary
depending on the method used.
In other words, the surgeon’s experience, know-how, and hand technique
were the key points that create differences in results.
5) Other reasons
*Based on survey statistics from consultees at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery from 2016 to 2017.
For surgical improvement methods, it is advisable to address issues related to bleeding
and check how postoperative care will be carried out.
With surgical improvement methods, a change can be expected,
but they also involve risks that must be considered,
so it is best to avoid making a hasty decision.
It is also helpful to continue looking into facelift effects,
check related information, and learn in advance
what possible side effects may occur.

planning through a one-on-one consultation was a good approach,
