My skin has always been really thin, so I guess the sagging came earlier than for people my age As I got older, the deepening nasolabial folds were also stressful, and at some point my cheeks and area around my mouth started sagging noticeably, so I suddenly looked much older At first I searched for fillers? But after reading community and cafe posts, I learned that if your skin is thin like mine and there's already sagging, putting in fillers the wrong way can actually make things sag more because of the weight or become bumpy... So I read that a mini lift, which pulls things up more decisively, is a much more realistic option in terms of staying power and results, and I changed my direction toward surgery. If I'm going to spend the money and go through the trouble anyway, I thought it would be better to get something both natural and definite, so I started going around for consultations. After visiting several places, I had a consultation with Director Jang Woo-seok at Clinic A, and as soon as he looked at my face, he explained in great detail how thick my skin was, where fat had pooled and sagged, and in which direction it should be lifted so it wouldn't be excessive? He said that pulling a lot isn't automatically better, and that it has to match my skin type! Honestly, I was very worried about scars and the recovery period with a lift, but they said mini lifting mainly addresses the mouth area and cheek sagging I was worried about, so there is less burden from scars and recovery is faster, which really caught my attention. I was worried that my face might get pulled up too artificially and look unnatural, so I asked a lot of questions, and the director showed me many before-and-after cases from other patients, especially people with skin types similar to mine, while setting a line that would lift naturally, which reassured me. In particular, I could see clear improvement in the cases with mouth and cheek sagging, which were my biggest concerns, so after the consultation I became convinced I should just do it here, and I booked right away and had the surgery! It's been some time since the surgery now, and I'm more satisfied than I expected! The sagging skin around my mouth and cheeks, which stressed me out the most, has been neatly tightened up, so my facial line feels much sharper overall, and people around me have been asking if I lost weight or saying I look better. I'm glad it doesn't look obviously operated on or artificial~~~ If you look at the photos, the scar area is also neat! You can't tell I had surgery, right?? And to write the realistic recovery process: there was almost no pain at all! Just a throbbing feeling? Recovery also seems definitely fast~ The result came out so clean that I've been strongly recommending it to friends like me who worry about sagging because of thin skin lol I hesitated a lot because the word lift itself felt intimidating, but I think I got treatment that matched my concerns really well!
