The middle-aged class spares no time and money investments to look younger and more beautiful. As a result, medical services such as cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery are emerging as solutions for complex.

In general, the middle-aged class tends to focus on restoring wrinkles and elasticity, unlike younger people who prefer clear appearances and small and slimmer facial lines. Actually, ‘Upper Blepharoplasty’, ‘Lower Blepharoplasty’, ‘Facial Lift’, and ‘Neck Lift’ which are actively performed among the middle-aged class have the purpose of wrinkles and sagging skin elasticity improvement while alleviating facial wrinkles that are located all over the face.

In particular, ‘Upper Blepharoplasty’ is a surgery that can remove drooped eyelids and produce bigger and clearer eyes. The operation method is slightly different depending on the degree of sagging eyelid shape, skin type, and the presence of ptosis. For example, if the shape of double eyelid is natural and the skin is drooping, People can be expected to look young without huge image change through ‘Brow Lift’ which cuts the skin under eyebrow and if the shape of eye is deformed due to the sagging skin, the incision can make the eyes sharp and clear.

On the other hand, if there is no double eyelid and the degree of droopiness is low, the problem can be solved by simple double eyelid non-incision surgery and Botox treatment can also improve eye wrinkles easily.

However, if there are too many wrinkles or severe sagging skin, it is difficult to expect a noticeable improvement. Therefore, it is wise to perform ‘Facial Lift’ from the beginning. Facial lift has a feature to solve sagging skin and facial wrinkles simultaneously in one operation.

When performing facial lift, it is important to desquamate and pull the SMAS(Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer as well as the subcutaneous fat. However, the facial nerve is located right under the SMAS layer. Therefore, technically it is not easy to desquamate only the SMAS layer without damaging the facial nerve.

In addition, even after facial contouring surgery, the skin might appear shady due to drooping cheek or the lower part of the face might be seemed to be large. In this case, facial lift could be expected to reduce size of face and if you look old due to the lack of flesh on cheeks, you can implant autologous fat into the front cheekbone area to make you look younger than your actual age.

If you have been treated with paraffin, industrial silicone, or vegetable oil for illegal plastic surgery in the past, or if the surface of the skin is uneven due to the remainder of illicit drug, you should perform foreign substance removal first.

Foreign substance removal is a procedure that removes every single foreign substance remaining in the skin after skin desquamation and facial lift also goes through the process of skin desquamation. Therefore, if two procedures are performing at the same time, you can gain the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

However, many blood vessels and nerves are distributed on the face and lack of clinical experience can lead to serious complications such as facial nerve paralysis, facial asymmetry, bleeding, scars, spiky ears, and etc. Therefore, it is important to have surgery by specialists who have plenty of clinical experiences and anatomical knowledge.
