I’m getting procedures like thread lifting, Ultherapy, InMode, Thermage... and so on, and I plan to keep doing them, but assuming that someday in the future I’ll eventually get a facelift too, I was curious whether repeated petite procedures have any impact on a facelift. As I get older, fat is building up along the marionette lines, so I’m also curious about liposuction.
Director Lim Jong-min at Soon Plus He speaks calmly and kindly, but seems full of confidence, so I trusted him. It’s true that repeated procedures can interfere with a facelift. But he said that’s something the doctor should worry about, not the patient. The surgery does take longer, but he said these days many people have had petite procedures, and they all undergo surgery without problems. He said I just need to find an experienced, skilled doctor haha He also said some people get thread lifting every 6 months, and if you manage it that way, it can definitely slow the speed of aging.
Director Heo Woong at Beauty Line He was kind, took his time examining everything carefully, and answered every question. I trusted him as well. Thread lifting, Ultherapy, Shurink... They all stimulate the inside of the skin, so they do make a facelift more difficult. With thread lifting, the effect may seem to drop off after about 6 months, but the threads inside the skin still have not completely dissolved, so he recommends the procedure once every 1-2 years. Liposuction is unrelated to a facelift, and once done, the effect lasts. Major swelling goes down in one month, and minor swelling gradually subsides over 6 months. Very noticeable major swelling lasts about 2 weeks. Usually swelling lasts 2-3 months, but since I’ll only remove a small amount, he said one month should be enough.. He said you can think of the procedure time and recovery time as proportional..
Director Park Soo-yeon at Made Young She seemed straightforward, down-to-earth, and honest. She was also kind and trustworthy. She said she herself is also managing things consistently.. It’s true that the more procedures you repeat, the trickier a facelift becomes, but giving them up because of that is a bit... They make the skin layers firmer, and definitely help slow aging. They can clearly delay the timing of a facelift. She said there’s no problem if you find a skilled doctor.. I also asked whether facelift surgery is a surgery that can be repeated, and she said there was someone who had undergone a third surgery at almost 10-year intervals. That person had also managed their skin diligently in daily life, so even though they were older, their skin was firm..
I liked all three doctors. Anyway, through this round of consultations, I’ve formed my own view on procedure effects and intervals, and I think any of the places would be good.
