I did real-model consultations at clinics around Gangnam that are known for lifting, but each clinic gave different procedures and different estimates. First, I ruled out places that recommended a full facelift including the neck (because I wasn’t planning on doing a major surgery at all).
MㅇDㅇ, Lㅌ, PㅃTㅃT, Sㅅ recommended multiple procedures. P, Yㄹ, Yㅇ, Bㅂ, Nㄴ recommended thread lifting. I’ve tried threads several times already, so I ruled that out because I wanted surgery. Mㅈ recommended mini lifting. That was the most tempting, but since it doesn’t firmly pull the SMAS layer and is just a mini approach, I passed. In the end, I decided on a minimal-incision SMAS procedure. There was no extra fee, and the doctor suggested surgery in a way that could get the most effect possible from the method I wanted. I debated a lot between Bㄹㅍ and Sㅅㅇ.
