Non-surgical lifting that brings out a youthful look - what should be done before the procedure? - Notice & Press 1 - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

Celebrities' remarkably youthful looks often draw envy from many. The same goes for actress K, who recently appeared on television.

Reportedly born in 1972, she drew attention with skin so firm it made her age hard to believe, and she became a talking point because her jawline, which might well have sagged with age, still keeps its V-line.

As K's face shows, firm skin without wrinkles and a slim jawline without sagging are cited as the characteristics of a youthful look. Many women who dream of looking younger are paying attention to skin elasticity and a V-line jawline, and in that effort they also exercise and take anti-aging foods.

Anti-aging procedures such as lifting are another way to create a youthful look. They not only ease wrinkles that have already formed but also lift a jawline that has lost its shape into a firm V-line, so a dramatic effect and immediate change can be expected.

According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung of the Lifting & Anti-Aging Center at TheLINE Plastic Surgery, such V-line lifting procedures can be performed more accurately and safely when ultrasound diagnosis is carried out before the procedure. The condition and amount of fat, the muscles and so on are assessed three-dimensionally and scientifically, so the facial soft tissue and excess fat layer can be removed more safely.

Once facial fat and soft tissue have been identified precisely through ultrasound diagnosis, it is important to choose the lifting procedure that suits you. Women in their 20s and 30s whose concern is sagging cheeks and a double chin rather than wrinkles can refine excess facial fat and soft tissue through 'Power V contouring'. Because the fat cells themselves are removed, the effect is semi-permanent, and a collagen tightening effect is added where the fat was removed, which helps all the more in creating a youthful look.

Middle-aged patients who already have wrinkles or advanced aging can have wrinkle treatment by area through the Ten Lifting procedure using threads. Selective wrinkle treatment is possible for the forehead and glabella, the jawline and eye area, the neck and nasolabial folds, and improvement in skin elasticity and skin tone, collagen remodeling and a brightening effect, a skin regeneration effect and a V-line effect can also be enjoyed.

Dr. Yoosuk Chung said, "Because lifting procedures are non-surgical, the recovery period is quick and the method is relatively simple, but since they are performed on the face they must be accurate and safe," adding, "I recommend choosing a clinic with medical staff who have abundant procedural experience and with advanced equipment such as ultrasound diagnostic devices."
