What Is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of facial aging by repositioning deeper facial tissues and tightening loose skin. Rather than simply removing excess skin, modern facelift techniques focus on restoring facial support and improving overall contours. The ideal surgical approach depends on facial anatomy, skin elasticity, tissue descent, and the patient's desired outcome.

How it works

Restoring Youthful Facial Contours with Advanced Lifting Techniques at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

As the face ages, changes such as skin laxity, deep wrinkles, and sagging tissues can affect facial contours and overall appearance. Facelift is a comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissues, improve definition, and restore a more youthful appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each facelift procedure is customized according to facial structure, skin condition, degree of sagging, aging patterns, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on creating natural-looking rejuvenation results that enhance facial harmony for both local and international patients.
