    Hello, I am Dr.Yoosuk Chung, Director of The Line Plastic Surgery.
    A facelift for those in their 60s and beyond is more than just a "lift"—it is an artistic reconstruction of the underlying ligaments and the SMAS (fascial) layer. With over 32 years of experience and 100,000+ successful facial surgeries, I specialize in the highly advanced Deep Plane Facelift to restore a second youth to my patients. I provide these answers backed by 19 years of accident-free surgical excellence.

    (Question)
    Q1. I’m in my 60s with very thin, sagging skin. Won't a facelift just sag again quickly?
    (Answer)
    A1. The longevity of a facelift depends entirely on the strength of the underlying tissue. At The Line, I utilize a specialized technique that discards unnecessary fat while preserving SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction)—rich in regenerative stem cells. This effectively restores your Autologous ECM (Extracellular Matrix), the core support structure of your skin. By improving the health of the skin’s architecture with regenerative factors, we significantly extend the results, ensuring a firm, long-lasting contour that resists the passage of time.

    Q2. I’m worried about looking "pulled" or having an unnatural expression after surgery.
    (Answer)
    A2. Artificial results occur when only the skin is pulled horizontally. With 32 years of know-how, I use a Vertical Vector Lift—pulling in the opposite direction of gravity—while simultaneously using Autologous ECM therapy to restore skin elasticity. As your skin density thickens through regeneration, your facial expressions remain soft and natural, allowing you to maintain a beautiful, authentic smile.

    (Question)
    Q3. I’m afraid of "Bio-bond" (scar tissue/hardness) after a facelift.
    (Answer)
    A3. Bio-bond is a fibrotic phenomenon that occurs during the healing process after tissue trauma. Our technique minimizes tissue damage by preserving stem-cell-rich SVF. These stem cells lower the inflammatory response within the ECM, resulting in significantly less scarring compared to traditional facelifts. You will experience a much faster, smoother recovery as the tissue heals with superior flexibility.

    (Question)
    Q4. How is a "Deep Plane Facelift" different from a standard facelift?
    A4. A Deep Plane Facelift is a high-level technique where we release the deep retaining ligaments and fully mobilize the SMAS (fascial) layer to lift from the deepest foundations of the face. When combined with our Autologous ECM reconstruction, the internal environment of the skin is fundamentally rebuilt, restoring the healthy, youthful facial lines you had before aging began.
