345 Plastic Surgery Facelift: Why Dr. Han Kyu-nam's 4STEP Lifting is Special
A lifting procedure that only pulls the skin can have a short duration and look unnatural. Dr. Han Kyu-nam's 4STEP Lifting at 345 Plastic Surgery proposes a personalized facelift through a 4-step structural improvement from the SMAS layer to the retaining ligaments. With surgical methods suited for each age group and an anatomical approach, you can expect a natural improvement in elasticity.
Lifting, An Anatomical Approach Beyond Simply Pulling the Skin
The decrease in skin elasticity and facial sagging experienced as we age are not simply due to the aging of the skin's surface. Beneath the skin, various tissues such as fat, fascia (SMAS), and retaining ligaments are organically intertwined to maintain the shape of the face.
At 345 Plastic Surgery, we do not simply pull the outer skin; we perform precise lifting from the deep layers based on a structural understanding of the entire face. This is a core process that helps achieve more natural facial expressions and favorable recovery.
Customized Lifting Plans According to Aging Progression by Age Group
Aging begins at different times and progresses at different speeds for each individual. Dr. Han Kyu-nam of 345 Plastic Surgery proposes optimized lifting surgical methods tailored to the patient's age and skin condition.
| Target Age | Recommended Surgical Method | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| 20s~30s | Mini Facelift | Improvement of early sagging and refinement of facial lines |
| 30s~40s | Minimal Incision Facelift | Efficient lifting with reduced burden of scarring |
| 40s~50s | SMAS Volume Facelift | Simultaneous improvement of deep wrinkles and volume loss |
| 50s and above | Full Facelift | 3D restoration of overall facial aging |
At 345 Plastic Surgery, based on anatomical understanding and extensive clinical experience, we establish a lifting plan by finding the most stable form for each individual's facial structure.
Dr. Han Kyu-nam's Core Know-how, '4STEP Lifting'
The core of the lifting performed by Dr. Han Kyu-nam lies in comprehensively improving four major structures. Through this, you can expect reduced awkwardness after surgery and three-dimensional elasticity.
- Epidermis: Improvement of visible skin elasticity
- SMAS Layer (Fascia): Pulling and fixing the fascial layer, the core of skin elasticity
- Retaining Ligaments: Dissecting and refixing the ligaments that support the tissues
- Temporal Fascia: Strengthening longevity by increasing the support of the upper face
