Appeared on Medical Channel After the Rain‍⚕️ The Core of a Youthful Face: Forehead, Eye, and Jawline Lifting | Sinnonhyeon Plastic Surgery Vibe Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Vibe Plastic Surgery. :)

As interest in a youthful face grows,

inquiries about anti-aging and youth-enhancing surgeries are steadily

increasing. Rather than simply improving one area,

it is important to naturally revive the overall flow of the face.

Since youth-enhancing surgeries are considered more complex procedures,

accurate information is crucial.

​

Therefore, this time, we would like to introduce

the anti-aging and youth-enhancing surgeries explained by

our Chief Director Yoo Young-moon, who appeared on

the highly trusted YouTube channel 'After the Rain' :)

​

For those looking for a Sinnonhyeon plastic surgery clinic,

we will neatly summarize the core points of forehead lifts, eye surgeries, and facelifts

that you might have wondered about at least once!

Why does the face age?🤔 Core facts to know before youth-enhancing surgery

Before discussing youth-enhancing surgery,

there is a question we must address first.

"Why does the face look old?"

During consultations at Vibe, a Sinnonhyeon Station plastic surgery clinic,

many people often think it is simply a skin issue,

but actual aging progresses simultaneously across multiple layers.

​

🧬 Skin

Decrease in collagen and elastin → Loss of elasticity

🧈 Fat

Volume loss + downward migration → Sagging appearance

🔗 SMAS Layer

Weakening of fascia and retaining ligaments → Facial sagging

*SMAS Layer: An important support layer that determines facial sagging

🦴 Skeleton

Reduction in bone structure → Overall volume loss

​

'Sagging and hollowing' are the very essence of aging.

You can understand the youth-enhancing surgeries

we will explain later as the process of

improving these two aspects. :)

🔍 Where does the face start to sag? Summary of aging causes by area

As we conduct consultations at our Sinnonhyeon plastic surgery clinic,

we see that facial sagging often progresses simultaneously

in multiple areas rather than just one.

Now, let's summarize the causes of sagging by representative areas.

​

👃 Nasolabial Folds

The wrinkles extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth,

which gradually deepen due to cheek sagging and loss of skin elasticity.

​

😠 Jowls (Marionette Lines)

The bulging lines descending from the corners of the mouth

towards the chin,

👉🏻 caused by cheek fat sagging downward

👉🏻 and the weakening of the SMAS layer.

​

🪞 Jawline & Double Chin

The once-defined jawline blurs, and a double chin forms.

👉🏻 The cause is a loss of skin elasticity + fat sagging.

​

🦢 Neck Wrinkles

The skin on the neck is thin, so aging appears quickly.

👉🏻 Vertical wrinkles form as the neck muscles separate,

👉🏻 and a double chin may also appear together.

​

Facial sagging is not a simple skin issue,

but the result of complex changes in the

skin + fat + SMAS layer + muscles!

💡 The Core Principle of a Facelift

The facelift at Vibe, a Sinnonhyeon plastic surgery clinic,

is not a surgery that simply pulls the skin.

If only the skin is pulled, it can look unnatural and sagging can quickly

reappear, so structural remodeling is important.

​

👉🏻 The core is to dissect the SMAS layer (the fascial layer under the skin that supports the face),

release the retaining ligaments,

reposition the sagging tissues,

and then excise the excess skin

without tension.

​

💉 The incision usually extends from the side of the eyebrow (temporal region)

to the front and back of the ear, and down to the back of the neck,

and is performed so that the scar is as invisible as possible.

​

🔎 The process of sufficiently dissecting not only the skin but also the layer below the SMAS

and releasing the retaining ligaments

creates natural and long-lasting results.

​

⚠️ What are retaining ligaments?

They are connecting structures that hold the skin and tissues in place.

If they are not dissected, the sagging tissues

cannot be sufficiently pulled upward.

✔️ 3 Things You Must Check During a Facelift Consultation!

Vibe will tell you the 3 core points you must check

during a facelift consultation at a Sinnonhyeon plastic surgery clinic!

​

👉🏻 1. Whether retaining ligaments are dissected

👉🏻 Extent of dissection (how far it proceeds)

👉🏻 Location and extent of the skin incision

​

In particular, whether the retaining ligaments are dissected is very important.

If dissection is not performed, the surgery relies solely on the strength of the sutures,

and the lifting effect may diminish over time. Therefore, it is important to check if

the surgery fundamentally improves the cause of sagging, rather than just

simply pulling.

✨ Since the surgical method may vary depending on

the individual's degree of skin sagging,

understanding the location and extent of the skin incision is also important.

When is the Golden Time for Facelift Surgery?

One of the frequently asked questions at our Sinnonhyeon plastic surgery clinic

is about the timing of the surgery.🤔

​

❌ Misconception 1. Is it always better to do it later?

👉🏻 If it is too late (in your 60s~70s),

· the loss of skin elasticity is severe,

· and bone (skeletal) reduction has progressed,

so the surgical results may be limited.

​

❌ Misconception 2. Can the surgery only be done once in a lifetime?

👉🏻 Revision surgery is more difficult,

but it is not impossible.

👉🏻 With an experienced doctor, a second or third

facelift is entirely possible.

​

✔️ Conclusion (Golden Timing)

👉🏻 The point when you feel the limits of non-surgical methods

👉🏻 The period when tissue elasticity and recovery ability remain

✨ The 40s to 60s can be seen as the most appropriate time.

⭐ The Choice That Makes a Difference in Results

Even with the same facelift, the results can be different.

Vibe Plastic Surgery creates natural results

with a 1:1 custom surgical plan,

meticulously considering sufficient dissection and the direction

in which the skin and SMAS layer are pulled up. :)

We also pay detailed attention to preventing

earlobe deformity (pixie ear).

The results of a facelift vary depending on

the method and timing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the face look old?

Aging progresses simultaneously in the skin (decrease in collagen and elastin), fat (volume loss and descent), SMAS layer (weakening of fascia and retaining ligaments), and skeleton (reduction in bone structure), appearing as sagging and hollowing.

What is the core principle of a facelift?

The core is structural remodeling, which involves not simply pulling the skin, but dissecting the SMAS layer, releasing the retaining ligaments, repositioning the sagging tissues, and then excising the excess skin without tension.

Why is dissecting the retaining ligaments important?

If the retaining ligaments are not dissected, the sagging tissues cannot be sufficiently pulled upward, and the surgery relies solely on the strength of the sutures, which can cause the lifting effect to diminish over time. Therefore, it is important to check if fundamental improvement is made.

What must be checked during a facelift consultation?

Vibe Plastic Surgery advises checking three things: whether the retaining ligaments are dissected, the extent of the dissection, and the location and extent of the skin incision. The surgical method may vary depending on the individual's degree of sagging.

When is the appropriate time for facelift surgery?

The appropriate time is when you feel the limits of non-surgical methods and still have tissue elasticity and recovery ability. Generally, the 40s to 60s are introduced as the golden timing. Results may be limited in the 60s to 70s.

Is revision facelift surgery also possible?

Revision surgery is more difficult but not impossible. It is explained that with an experienced doctor, a second or third facelift is entirely possible.
