Differentiated Lifting Procedures, The Results of SMAS Face-lift Depend on the Doctor's Skills.

As interest in appearance continues to increase along with increased life expectancy, looking younger than my age, it is now established as a specification. Facial sagging and wrinkles are typical problems that people want to improve in a situation where they prefer to live a young lifestyle and look younger. This is the reason why the demand for face lift surgery is increasing

 

According to Dr. Joo-heon Lee, board-certificated surgeon of WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery Clinic, face lift is a surgical procedure which could address the root causes of facial sagging problem. It is a lifting operation in which the skin layer is dissected and pulled, and then the remaining skin is incised. It is effective in improving the wide range of skin sagging and deep facial wrinkles. Besides, it is more effective and lasts longer than other lifting procedures.

 

Dr. Joo-heon Lee explains why the face-lift surgery can address the root causes of sagging skin as follows. “The core of face lift surgery is the restoration of the deep fascia layer, SMAS layer, skin layer, and retention ligaments. As aging progresses, the fascia layer and maintenance ligaments in the skin become loose. Face lift surgery can correct the cause of wrinkles and reduce sagging by pulling together the SMAS layer and and the facial maintenance ligament, which located just above the muscle layer in the skin and connects the face and bones.”

 

If the skin is severely sagging, the deep fascia layer must be pulled up. The skin is also pulled when the fascia layer is pulled. The excessive sagging skin can be excised and sutured to achieve   tight skin.

 

Dr. Joo-heon Lee said, "Face lift surgery is not just to pull the skin, it is necessary to consider the direction and angle of pulling the skin according to situation of each individual, such as the sagging area and the degree of sagging.”
