As we age, skin elasticity decreases, and it is common for the cheeks or jawline to appear sagging. In particular, it is said that many people look into facial lifting procedures when their facial contours become less defined than before or when double chins and sagging cheeks start to become noticeable.

Today, I will summarize everything from why facial lifting procedures are necessary, the types of procedures, who is recommended to undergo them, and precautions after the procedure.

1. Why is a face lift necessary?

1) Decrease in skin elasticity

Collagen and elastin in the skin play a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and structure. As we age, these supporting structures gradually weaken, causing the skin to loosen and making the cheeks or jawline appear to sag.

 

2) Changes in facial fat location

It is said that if fat around the cheeks shifts downward or accumulates around the jaw, the facial contours become dull, and a double chin or deep cheek fat may appear more prominent.

 

3) Changes in facial contours

It is said that if a decrease in skin elasticity occurs together with changes in fat distribution, the jawline may not be as distinct as before, and the entire face may appear to sag downwards.

2. Types of Facial Lifting Procedures

1) Density High

Density High is a lifting procedure that applies both monopolar RF and bipolar RF simultaneously to deliver a multi-layered lifting effect from the deep layers to the surface of the skin. It is said to help improve elasticity, as well as reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and enhance facial contours.

3. Recommended candidates for facial lifting

It is recommended to consider facial lifting procedures after assessing your current skin elasticity and facial contours, rather than simply basing your decision on your age.

It is said that you might consider a facial lifting procedure, especially if you have the following concerns.

 

- When the cheeks or jawline appear to sag lower than before

- If your facial contours are indistinct and you are self-conscious about a double chin

- When skin elasticity decreases and the skin feels sagging overall

- If you are concerned about nasolabial folds or sagging around the corners of the mouth

- If you want to manage your facial contours to be firmer

 

However, the causes of facial sagging can vary depending not only on a decrease in skin elasticity but also on the amount of fat, skin thickness, and facial structure. Therefore, since the appropriate procedure may differ depending on whether there is a lot or little facial fat, it is said to be important to choose a lifting treatment that suits the individual's facial condition.

5. Precautions After Facial Lifting Procedure

It is said that temporary redness, swelling, and a sensation of heat may occur after a facial lifting procedure, depending on the equipment used, energy intensity, and individual skin condition. Following the guidelines below is said to aid in recovery.

 

- Avoid drinking alcohol on the day of the procedure

- Avoid intense heat stimulation such as saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise.

- Do not rub or massage the treated area vigorously.

- Your skin may feel dry, so ensure adequate moisturization.

- Apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out.

6. Q&A

1) From what age can I receive a facial lifting procedure?

There is no fixed age for facial lifting procedures. Since skin thickness, elasticity, facial fat volume, and degree of sagging vary even among people of the same age, it is best to determine the necessary procedure based on your current facial condition rather than your age.

 

2) Can I receive a lifting procedure even if I have no facial fat?

Having little facial fat does not mean you cannot receive lifting procedures. However, since treatment methods may differ depending on whether fat reduction is needed or skin elasticity management is required, it is important to consult with a doctor to receive a lifting procedure tailored to your skin condition.

There are various types of facial lifting procedures depending on the energy used and how they act on the skin.

It is said that rather than blindly choosing a strong procedure, it is important to first identify whether your current concern is skin sagging, loss of elasticity, a double chin, or chubby cheeks, and then select a suitable treatment.

I hope you refer to the types and characteristics of facial lifting procedures shared today to identify the lifting method that best suits your skin condition.
