The face is a key feature in shaping your overall appearance, and a facelift can significantly enhance its youthful and refreshed look.
The face is a central feature that greatly impacts your overall appearance, often being the first thing people notice. At Arc Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, Seoul, Dr. Kwon Soon Beom specializes in facelifts to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, restoring a youthful and harmonious look to your entire face.
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is performed to reduce the signs of aging by tightening the skin and underlying tissues, restoring a youthful, refreshed appearance. Whether you're looking to smooth out wrinkles, lift sagging skin, or improve facial contours, Dr. Kwon Soon Beom's 15 years of expertise in facial surgery ensures that he provides natural-looking results tailored to your individual needs.
Dr. Kwon offers facelift procedures to address various concerns, including:
If you experience any of these concerns, you may be an ideal candidate for a facelift procedure.
The facelift procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Once you are asleep, Dr. Kwon will begin by marking the planned incisions, typically along the hairline and around the ears, to ensure discreet placement. The skin is gently lifted, and the underlying tissues are tightened to restore youthful contours and address sagging. This may involve repositioning the muscles and removing excess skin to enhance the overall facial structure.
If additional concerns, such as neck sagging or excess fat, were discussed during your pre-operative consultation, procedures like a neck lift or liposuction may be performed simultaneously to achieve a more complete rejuvenation.
Upon completing the facelift and any adjunctive procedures, Dr. Kwon will carefully close the incisions with fine sutures. A light bandage may be applied to support the healing process, and cool packs will be provided to reduce swelling and ensure your comfort.
The face is composed of various components, often referred to as "facial units," that can be altered through a facelift. The primary facial units frequently modified during surgery include:
Addressing any of these facial units typically involves repositioning underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and tightening the skin to restore youthful contours. For instance, the jawline and neck are often targeted to eliminate sagging skin and fatty tissue, while the cheeks and forehead may be lifted to enhance facial definition.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and underlying tissues to restore a youthful appearance. It addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume by repositioning muscles and removing excess skin.
Ideal candidates are individuals who are in good health, have sagging skin or deep wrinkles in the face, and desire a more youthful appearance. People in their 40s to 60s often benefit most from the procedure.
Recovery typically takes about 2-3 weeks, with most patients returning to work and normal activities after 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but should subside within a few weeks.
While a facelift provides long-lasting results, it cannot stop the natural aging process. However, the improvements from the surgery can last for many years, with patients often looking younger for a decade or more.
Like any surgery, a facelift comes with potential risks, such as infection, scarring, nerve damage, or anesthesia complications. Choosing a skilled surgeon can help minimize these risks.
