Parents' Day Gift Recommendations: Types and Features of Facial Lifting for Wrinkle Improvement
For those concerned about their parents' deepening facial wrinkles for Parents' Day, we introduce customized lifting procedures tailored to individual skin conditions. From mini facelifts to SMAS volume facelifts, discover anti-aging solutions that restore your parents' youth.

A Special Gift for Your Parents: Healthy and Beautiful Youth
In May, the Month of Family, it often weighs on our minds when we notice deepening wrinkles on our parents' faces after not seeing them for a while. Recently, rather than simply accepting aging, a growing number of parents want to look more beautiful and healthy, even if just for a day. This is why lifting procedures, which help improve wrinkles and skin elasticity, are gaining attention as a way to convey your heartfelt gratitude to your parents.
At Gangnam 345 Plastic Surgery, rather than performing indiscriminate surgeries, we closely analyze each individual's skin thickness and muscle usage habits to propose the most harmonious anti-aging results.

The Importance of Customized Lifting Considering Individual Skin Characteristics
Lifting for the parents' generation requires a different approach than for younger people. The priority is to determine whether the skin is thin or thick, and which facial expression muscles are frequently used that led to the formation of wrinkles.
- Optimization of the Incision Range: Even when a surgical lifting (facelift) is necessary, it is important to reduce the physical burden by adjusting the incision range according to the patient's condition.
- Non-Surgical Alternatives: For those who have a great fear of surgery or are concerned about the recovery period, gradual improvement can be achieved through injectable treatments such as Botox or fillers.

Top 3 Most Popular Lifting Procedures for Parents at 345 Plastic Surgery
Here are three representative lifting procedures highly preferred by our patients.
1. 'Mini Facelift' for Reduced Scarring Concerns
This is a procedure where scars are unnoticeable, yet you can experience the lifting changes from the very day of the surgery. It is suitable for those who find a full facelift burdensome, and you can expect a quick return to your daily life.
2. 'Plus-Minus Lifting' to Enhance Dimensionality
This is a complex solution that clears away sagging jawline fat with liposuction (minus), fills in sunken nasolabial folds or the forehead with fat grafting (plus), and pulls up sagging areas with thread lifting.
3. Fundamental Improvement, 'SMAS Volume Facelift'
Rather than just pulling the outer surface of the skin, this is a sophisticated method that meticulously lifts the deep fascial layer, the SMAS layer, to increase longevity and restore volume to the face.

A Treatment Philosophy That Treats Patients Like Family
Dr. Han Kyu-nam and Dr. Park Jong-rim of 345 Plastic Surgery are sometimes affectionately called 'Doctor-fathers' (Doctor + Father) by their patients. This is likely the result of conveying their sincere heart in treating each and every patient with the utmost care, just like their own parents, going beyond mere surgical skills. While we cannot presume to be actual family, we cherish the weight of those words and do our absolute best in every step of the process.
