​The aging of the skin gradually progresses from the age of 25. 

At a young age, only wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are the areas of concern, but as time goes by, the elasticity gradually decreases, 

and wrinkles around the mouth and neck slowly begin to stand out. 

The plump cheeks gradually droop, and the smooth facial line collapses, showing several layers of chin folds. 

After the 50s, signs of aging will be evident on the face.

The skin's elasticity, deep wrinkles, and sagging chin which look different every day are difficult to improve just by applying expensive and high-nutrition cosmetics. 

You may consider face lift surgery as it is necessary to improve sagging skin more directly and fundamentally by targeting the point where aging began.

The full face lift which is not just a lifting procedure that pulls the skin, it also pulls the SMAS (fiber fascia) layer so you can expect to see a proper lifting effect. 

The SMAS layer is a thin fibrous fascia layer between the subcutaneous fat and muscle layers that are deeper than the dermal layer of the skin. 

This area weakens with age and loses elasticity due to the force of gravity, resulting in skin aging. 

Therefore, when performing anti-aging procedures such as facial lift, it is necessary to pull the SMAS layer together to expect a lifting effect without sagging.

Pulling only the surface of the skin does have a lifting effect and does temporarily improve skin elasticity, however it is difficult to improve fundamental sagging. 

If you perform lifting by pulling from the fascia layer, you may enjoy a better lifting effect and result as it is a 3 step lifting procedure from the inside to the outside

(SMAS layer, dermal layer, epidermal layer).

For both a safe surgery and natural results, full face lifting should be performed in consideration of different skin thickness, aging degree, and sagging depth of each individual. 

Even for people in the same age group and gender, it is important to proceed with 1:1 customization because the progression speed and skin type of aging are different. 

In addition, for natural lifting, the exposure of the incision area should be minimized to prevent swelling and scarring.

Doctor Nam Dong Woo from DA Plastic Surgery Clinic says “Full face lifting is a surgery that helps improve the overall elasticity of the face, 

and it is more effective and has a longer maintenance period than laser lifting or thread lifting. 

To achieve highly satisfying results, it is important to take each individual's skin type and aging speed into consideration and perform the most suitable facial lifting surgery. 

In order to do so, it is important to consult and proceed with the surgery with medical staff who are experienced in facial lifting.
