As she got older, her nasolabial folds deepened and her jawline sagged, to the point that my mother avoided looking in the mirror because she was so stressed. Watching from the side, it was heartbreaking how much her self-esteem had dropped, and after spending years thinking about it because she was afraid of surgery, she finally made a big decision and visited Director Kim Jong-gyu at Aiting Plastic Surgery. After the consultation, based on my mother's condition, we decided to combine not only a facelift but also a forehead lift, temporal lift, fat grafting, and nanofat to improve the overall facial line and volume. 1. Concerns before surgery and why we decided Rather than simply wanting to become prettier, I was upset seeing how depressed she felt because of her sagging face, so I looked into many options before deciding. She was especially worried that the surgery would look too obvious, but thanks to Director Kim Jong-gyu's careful consultation, we were able to proceed with confidence. 2. Changes and progress at 6 weeks It has now been about 6 weeks since the surgery. As the swelling goes down, she looks younger and younger. Natural result: once the major swelling subsided, the wrinkles smoothed out beautifully and her overall impression became so relaxed and soft. Detailed comparison: not long ago, she took a photo with another friend who had also had a facelift, and while her friend looked very obviously like she had had work done, my mother looked so natural that it seemed as if she had simply become younger in her original face without any sign of surgery. I was shocked. 3. Reactions from people around her and changes in daily life These days my mother really enjoys going out. Her friends and people around her keep asking things like, "Where do you get your skin treatments these days? Why do you look so much prettier?" Since no one ever imagines it was surgery and only says her skin looks amazing, my mother's self-esteem is through the roof. Instead of looking pulled tight, she looks elegantly rejuvenated, and I am very satisfied too. 4. Final thoughts It feels like not only the wrinkles were smoothed out, but my mother also got her smile back, so I am sincerely grateful to Director Kim Jong-gyu and the medical staff at Aiting Plastic Surgery. To anyone considering a facelift, I want to say that hesitation only delays the time you could already be looking younger.
