Introduction: Aging Gracefully with Expert Help

Aging brings wisdom, but it also introduces visible changes to our facial features—skin laxity, fine lines, and diminished volume that can make us look tired or older than we feel. Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers safe and effective facial lifting techniques to restore a more refreshed, natural appearance.

At SoonPlus Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea, our facial rejuvenation experts combine medical precision with artistic sensibility. Led by board-certified specialists like Dr. SoonDong Kim and Dr. InSoo Seo, we provide both surgical and non-surgical options, tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Understanding Facial Lifting: What It Really Does

Facial lifting isn't about changing who you are—it's about enhancing your features to reflect how you feel inside. Whether you're noticing sagging in the jawline, hollowness in the cheeks, or lax skin around the neck, facial lifting addresses these signs by:

• Tightening skin and underlying tissues

• Restoring volume where it's been lost

• Improving facial symmetry and contour

We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments to suit a range of aging concerns.

Surgical Facial Lifting: The SMAS Advantage

For those with moderate to advanced aging, a surgical facelift—particularly the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) technique—is often the most effective solution. This procedure targets not only the skin but also the underlying muscle and connective tissue, offering results that can last up to a decade.

Performed by Dr. SoonDong Kim, who has over 17 years of specialized experience, our SMAS facelift emphasizes natural movement and subtle enhancement rather than tight, artificial results.

Key Benefits:

• Long-lasting rejuvenation (up to 10 years)

• Natural-looking lift by targeting deep structures

• Enhanced jawline, neck, and midface definition

One patient in her 50s shared, "I was nervous about surgery, but Dr. Kim made me feel completely informed. The results were better than I imagined—my friends say I look like myself, just well-rested."

Non-Surgical Lifting: Refresh Without Downtime

Not ready for surgery? Our non-invasive facial lifting options provide meaningful results with little to no recovery time.

Ultrasonic Lifting (HIFU) Using focused ultrasound energy, this technique stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, gradually firming and lifting treated areas. Ideal for mild to moderate sagging.

Thread Lifts Biodegradable threads are inserted to gently lift the skin and stimulate collagen. Over time, this results in a subtle lift that looks entirely natural.

Key Benefits:

• Resume normal activities the same day

• Gradual, natural-looking improvement

• No incisions or anesthesia required

We often combine treatments for optimal results. For example, a patient in her early 40s received HIFU with a thread lift and reported, "My face felt firmer in just weeks, and no one guessed I had anything done."

V-Line Facelift: Korean Precision for Elegant Contours

Korea's V-line facelift is prized for its ability to refine the jawline and chin, creating a slimmer, more youthful profile. Whether surgical or non-surgical, it focuses on enhancing facial harmony.

Dr. InSoo Seo, a specialist in facial contouring, uses advanced techniques to achieve symmetrical, scar-free outcomes. His expertise is especially sought after by patients looking for subtle improvements without dramatic alteration.

Why Consider a V-Line Lift?

• Defines the lower face

• Short recovery time

• Combines well with botox or filler for added refinement

What to Expect: Recovery and Results

Post-Surgical Care:

• 2–3 weeks of rest, with gradual return to activities

• Swelling and bruising managed with medication and head elevation

• Follow-ups ensure optimal healing

Post Non-Surgical Care:

• Mild swelling or redness lasting 1–3 days

• Results evolve over weeks as collagen builds

Patients consistently describe feeling not just younger, but more confident and vibrant.

Safety and Risks: Transparent, Patient-Centered Care

All medical procedures come with potential risks. At SoonPlus, we prioritize informed consent and use only FDA and KFDA-approved devices and techniques.

Common Risks:

• Surgical: Minor scarring, asymmetry, anesthesia-related risks

• Non-surgical: Temporary swelling or less pronounced results

Our surgeons perform a full medical evaluation and walk each patient through the safety protocols, setting clear expectations.

The Role of Technology: Innovation Meets Expertise

Our clinic stays ahead with innovations like:

• SMAS-layer ultrasound mapping for precise surgical planning

• HIFU platforms that deliver uniform energy for consistent tightening

These technologies are integrated seamlessly into each treatment plan for optimal, patient-specific outcomes.
