My mom had a facelift at [Clinic A], and lately she seems to have gained confidence from looking so much younger, because she takes tons of selfies by herself, so I am leaving this review. Before, whenever she tried to take pictures, she would say, “I’m too old—what’s the point of taking pictures?”
My mom is somewhat elderly and had many wrinkles overall. She had also undergone thread lifting and lower blepharoplasty 10 years ago. I avoided places that simply pulled the skin tight and searched mainly for a clinic where the director personally handled both the surgery and postoperative care. That was how I learned about Director Heo Jae-won at [Clinic A] in Apgujeong. The reviews for both the surgeries and consultations looked good, and after visiting, I understood why. The decision-making process was also smooth.
The consultation was different from other hospitals starting with the details. Instead of vague, unnecessary talk about making her look younger, the doctor explained the key points about surgery from the patient’s perspective. He discussed what was realistically achievable, and his passion for surgery was also impressive. I think that played a big role in my deciding to proceed. The director was even more enthusiastic than the patient, kept checking whether we had questions, and so on haha.
She had endoscopic forehead lifting, a facelift, and a neck lift. We also considered lower blepharoplasty, but Director Heo said it was not necessary, so she did not have it. It has now been a little over three months. These are photos my mom took herself—doesn’t she look really taut? People say facelifts can make the expression look fierce, but my mom actually looks gentler. The areas we were most concerned about at first, around the eyelids and nasolabial folds, have been naturally refined. At this point, much of the swelling has gone down, making her face look slimmer overall, and the jawline has become cleanly defined; that seems to be the biggest change haha.
Honestly, her face had looked wider and larger because of the sagging, but after surgery people have even told her she looks like she lost weight haha. You can see that the jawline that had collapsed from sagging has naturally emerged, and her nasolabial folds have also improved. I recommend Director Heo Jae-won at [Clinic A] to anyone considering lifting, a middle-aged facelift, or a filial facelift. I’m simply very proud that my mom is satisfied. She says opening her eyes is also much easier and more comfortable now.
