Facelift

Not turning back time,but restoring facial balance with Humanity's faceliftA facelift is not simply surgery that pulls sagging skin tight. It is important to consider both the aging skin and the sagging of the SMAS layer (the supportive layer beneath the skin) to restore the structure and balance of the face. At Humanity, our faceliftis designed around an analysis of your facial structure and the causes of aging, including the skin, the SMAS layer, and the retaining ligaments, for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.Why Choose Humanity for a FaceliftPoint 1A Facelift That Corrects the SMAS, Not Just the SkinFacial sagging is not just stretched skin. It happens as the SMAS (the fascial layer beneath the skin) descends.In our facelift, we carefully release the retaining ligaments that support the SMAS so the sagging tissue can move naturally. Rather than a lift that pulls only the skin, we correct the SMAS as well, aiming for a long-lasting lift that respects facial balance and natural expression.Point 2Contours Designed for Whole-Face BalanceWith the harmony of the whole face in mind, we neatly refine sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds (smile lines), and a loose double chin. Rather than improving just one area, we aim to create a smooth, firm facial contour that flows naturally from the jawline to the neck.Point 3Incision Design with Scarring in MindIn our facelift, we place more importance on the location and design of the incision than on its length.- - -Incision LineWe plan the incision along the natural contours of the hairline and ear so the scar is relatively inconspicuous after healing, and we make only the incision needed after carefully considering how much your face sags and how much excess skin there is.Who Is a Good Candidate?· People concerned about a sagging jawline and drooping cheeks· People who look older because of nasolabial folds and sagging around the mouth· People who want a natural, youthful look without looking like they had surgery· People hoping for a long-lasting lift from a single surgeryProcedure StepsStep 1 Detailed Assessment of the Causes of AgingWe plan your surgery after analyzing the causes of facial aging and the condition of your skin, fat, and SMAS layer.Step 2 A Natural Lift Planned for Your FaceWe carefully design the incision location and lifting direction, considering the harmony of your cheeks, jawline, neckline, and expressions.Step 3 Precise Facelift That Addresses the Underlying CauseWe correct the SMAS layer as well for a more stable, longer-lasting result, operating carefully to minimize tissue damage while respecting facial balance and natural expression.Step 4 Structured Recovery Care to Complete Your ResultFrom a pre-surgery safety evaluation to a structured post-surgery recovery program, follow-up by our Medical Director supports a stable recovery.Procedure DetailsLength of ProcedureAbout 4–5 hoursAnesthesiaIV sedationPain LevelLevel 2 (varies by individual)Follow-Up VisitsAbout 4–5 visitsSuture Removal10–14 daysFrequently Asked QuestionsQ. How long do facelift results last?- A facelift improves sagging by correcting not only the skin but also the SMAS layer. How long the results last varies with your skin condition and rate of aging, and a healthy lifestyle and consistent care help.Q. Are facelift scars very noticeable?- The incisions are made mainly along less visible areas, such as in front of and behind the ear and along the hairline. At first they may look red or feel firm, but they gradually become more natural over time.Q. When can I return to daily activities after a facelift?- It varies by person, but light daily activities are generally possible from 1–2 weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising gradually improve, and it is best to resume exercise or drinking alcohol according to our medical team's guidance based on your recovery.Q. Is it better to have a facelift and a neck lift together?- If you also have neck sagging or loss of firmness below the jawline, combining a facelift with a neck lift can offer a more balanced improvement. However, we decide the extent of surgery based on your current degree of sagging and the condition of your face and neck.A natural, youthful lookbegins with an accurate diagnosis.Only an accurate analysis of what is causing your face to age can show whether you need a facelift or whether another lifting procedure would suit you better.Through a thorough consultation with a Korean board-certified plastic surgeon, find the anti-aging solution that suits you best.  Book on NAVER  ›  Chat on KakaoTalk  ›  Call Us  ›  Directions  ›

Neck Lift

A neckline that shows your age first,naturally restored with Humanity's neck lift.The neck shows signs of aging sooner than the face. As sagging skin, a loosening platysma muscle, and neck wrinkles appear together, the border between the jaw and neck can become blurred. At Humanity, our neck liftaddresses loose neck skin, the platysma muscle, and its connection to the jawline together, to create natural neck movement and a well-defined neckline.What Is the Platysma?PlatysmaThe platysma is a thin, broad muscle that runs from under the jaw down to the collarbone, and it plays a major role in the shape of the neck and its wrinkles.With aging, the platysma loses elasticity and loosens, and its center can separate. As a result, vertical neck bands become more prominent, neck wrinkles deepen, and a once-defined jawline can gradually blur.What Type of Neck Sagging Do You Have?How aging progresses, from the skin to the muscle and fat, differs from person to person.It is important to accurately identify the type and cause of your neck sagging.Deep Neck Wrinkles and Sagging SkinIn this type, the skin loses elasticity, so neck wrinkles deepen and loose, sagging skin appears at the same time.Neck Sagging Like a Pelican's PouchAs the skin and soft tissue lose elasticity, the skin under the jaw and on the neck hangs downward.Neck Sagging That Looks Like a Double ChinSagging under the chin develops when the muscle and skin lose elasticity at the same time and fat builds up.Neck Lift Techniques01. Facelift-Style Neck Lift (Behind-the-Ear Incision)Through a minimal incision along the hairline behind the ear, we pull the loose platysma muscle in the right direction, reposition it, and secure it firmly. Rather than pulling only the skin, we correct the deeper layers for a more natural and stable neckline.02. Double Chin Muscle Tightening (Platysmaplasty)Through a small incision under the chin, we remove excess fat and tighten the loose platysma muscle. Beyond improving vertical neck bands, we draw the separated muscle under the chin together from both sides and stitch it into one, giving the jawline and the border of the neck a sharper definition.Why Choose Humanity for a Neck LiftPoint 1Technique Planned Around the Cause of Your Neck SaggingWe selectively apply the techniques you need based on how much your skin sags and how loose your platysma is, planning an approach that matches your pattern of aging.Point 2Face Contour Design Completed from the Jawline DownImproving neck wrinkles alone cannot create a well-defined neckline. We consider the border where the jawline meets the neck, the double chin, and the volume under the chin together, aiming for a face contour that flows naturally and with dimension even in profile.Point 3Incision Design with Scarring in MindWe plan an incision behind the ear or a small incision under the chin so the scar is relatively inconspicuous after healing, and we make only the incision needed after carefully considering how much your skin sags and how much excess skin there is.Who Is a Good Candidate?· People bothered by sagging neck skin and vertical neck lines· People whose jawline has faded and whose jaw-neck border has blurred· People who feel an aging neck makes them look older· People who want to regain a smooth, well-defined necklineProcedure StepsStep 1 Detailed Assessment of Your Neck StructureWe analyze not only your neck skin, platysma, and jawline but also your fat distribution and degree of sagging to create a personalized surgical plan.Step 2 Custom Design for a Harmonious NecklineWe consider neck sagging, fat volume, and jawline balance together to create a custom design that includes double chin (submental) liposuction when needed.Step 3 Neck Lift That Addresses the Structural CauseWe correct the deeper tissue, including the platysma, for a natural, well-defined neckline without excessive tightness.Step 4 Premium Recovery Care to Complete Your ResultFrom a pre-surgery safety evaluation to a structured recovery program that includes SmartLux LED therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and LDM, we support a stable recovery.Procedure DetailsLength of ProcedureAbout 3 hoursAnesthesiaIV sedationPain LevelLevel 2 (varies by individual)Follow-Up VisitsAbout 4–5 visitsSuture Removal10–14 daysFrequently Asked QuestionsQ. Can I have a neck lift on its own?- If sagging in the neck or loose skin under the chin is your main concern, a neck lift alone can bring improvement. However, if you also have sagging along the jawline or in the face, combining it with a facelift may help achieve a more natural result.Q. How long is the recovery?- It varies by person, but sutures are generally removed after 10–14 days, and light daily activities can be resumed relatively quickly. Swelling and bruising gradually improve over time.Q. Where will the scars be?- The incisions are made mainly around the ears and along the hairline so the scars are hard to see. The degree of scarring varies with your skin condition and the extent of surgery.Q. How long do the results last?- Aging continues, but because the sagging tissue is corrected, the improved neckline can be maintained for a relatively long time. How long it lasts depends on your skin condition, rate of aging, and lifestyle.A well-defined necklinechanges the impression of your whole face.An accurate diagnosis determines whether you need a neck lift alone or whether it is better planned together with a facelift.Through a thorough consultation with a Korean board-certified plastic surgeon, discover the natural neck rejuvenation that suits you.  Book on NAVER  ›  Chat on KakaoTalk  ›  Call Us  ›  Directions  ›

Sub-Brow Lift

Not a brow raise,but a Sub-Brow Lift That Restores Balance Between Your Eyes and BrowsAging affects more than the skin. As the eyelids grow heavier and the brows descend, you start using your forehead muscles to open your eyes, and your face can look more tired and heavy than before. At Humanity, our sub-brow liftfocuses on creating eyes that open comfortably, without excessive pulling and while preserving your natural eye shape and expression.Why Choose Humanity for a Sub-Brow LiftPoint 1Incision Just Below the Brow, Designed with Scarring in MindOur sub-brow lift is performed through an incision along the lower edge of the eyebrow, which helps keep the scar less visible and supports a natural recovery.We design a minimal incision, only as much as you need, based on how much your eyelids droop, the position and shape of your brows, the balance of your eyes, and the amount of excess skin.Point 2Structural Correction That Considers How Your Eyes OpenWe correct stretched skin, tissue, and even muscle to take weight off the eyelids for a natural, comfortable look.Improving droopy eyelids:Sub-Brow Lift vs. Upper BlepharoplastyEven when the eyelids droop in the same way, the cause can be different.Droopy eyelids can be improved effectively by choosing the right technique for your eyelid condition and eye shape.VSSub-Brow LiftUpper BlepharoplastyIncision SiteLower edge of the eyebrowAlong the eyelid crease of the upper eyelidMain Area ImprovedSagging upper eyelid skin, especially at the outer sideSagging upper eyelid skin and, if needed, muscle and fatKey FeaturesImproves sagging skin while minimizing changes to your existing eye shapeCan correct eyelid sagging and the eyelid crease at the same timeScar LocationIncision line below the eyebrowIncision line along the eyelid crease A sub-brow lift focuses on improving sagging skin while preserving your existing eye shape and eyelid crease as much as possible, whereas upper blepharoplasty is a procedure that can correct both eyelid sagging and the eyelid crease.Who Is a Good Candidate?· People who keep tensing their forehead to open their eyes· People whose eyes feel heavier and more closed-in than before· People who are often told they look tired or sleepy in photos· People who want to regain a naturally bright, alert lookProcedure StepsStep 1 Detailed Assessment of the Aging Eye AreaWe look beyond eyelid drooping, analyzing brow position, forehead movement, and eyelid-opening strength to plan the most suitable technique.Step 2 Custom Design That Preserves Your Natural LookWe design a natural, understated eye shape and brow position based on your facial proportions and existing eye shape.Step 3 Correction That Considers How Your Eyes OpenWe aim for a natural, comfortable result by considering your eyelid-opening strength, brow position, and overall facial balance.Step 4 Premium Recovery Care to Complete Your ResultAfter surgery, we check your swelling and healing and guide you through follow-up care so your result settles in naturally.Procedure DetailsLength of ProcedureAbout 1 hourAnesthesiaIV sedationPain LevelLevel 1 (varies by individual)Follow-Up VisitsAbout 2–3 visitsSuture Removal5–7 daysFrequently Asked QuestionsQ. How is a sub-brow lift different from upper blepharoplasty?- A sub-brow lift focuses on improving sagging skin below the brows while naturally keeping your existing eye shape. Upper blepharoplasty corrects sagging skin and tissue of the upper eyelid and, if needed, can also improve the eyelid crease. The right procedure depends on how much your brows and eyelids sag.Q. Will a sub-brow lift change my appearance a lot?- Rather than dramatically changing your eyes, a sub-brow lift naturally softens the heavy, tired look caused by sagging. We design it to preserve your natural look, taking into account your existing eye shape and facial balance.Q. Will the scar be very visible?- Because the incision follows the lower edge of the brow, you may see some redness or swelling at first. This gradually settles over time, and the degree of scarring varies with each person's skin and healing process.Q. Could my eyes end up looking too lifted or harsh?- A sub-brow lift does not simply pull the brows upward. We consider the position of your brows and eyelids, your existing eye shape, and your facial balance, aiming for a natural, not overdone, look.The first step to restoring your natural lookbegins with an accurate diagnosis.Choosing the right eyelid rejuvenation procedure for you starts with an accurate analysis of the cause, from drooping eyelids and brow position to how you habitually open your eyes.
