• You have loose skin, sagging jowls, or deep creases extending from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

• You have lost definition in your jawline and experience loose skin or vertical bands in your neck (often addressed with a complementary neck lift).

• You are in good general health with no underlying medical conditions that could impair healing.

• You have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.

• You are a non-smoker, or you are willing to quit well in advance of the surgery, as smoking significantly compromises healing.

• You are looking for subtle, temporary changes (non-surgical options might be better).

• You have poorly controlled high blood pressure or other chronic health issues.

• You are actively taking blood thinners that cannot be stopped for the procedure.

• You have a significant amount of weight to lose, as weight fluctuations can affect the results.

• Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation for patient comfort and safety.

• Incision Placement: Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and in the natural creases around the ear and extending into the lower scalp to ensure maximum discretion of the scars.

• Tissue Repositioning: The surgeon tightens and repositions the deeper layers of the face (SMAS) and muscles, not just the skin. This provides structural support and more durable, natural results.

• Skin Redraping and Removal: Excess skin is carefully trimmed, and the remaining skin is delicately re-draped over the new contours without excessive tension.

• Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives. Small drains may be temporarily placed to manage fluid buildup.

• Initial Consultation & Planning: You'll discuss your aesthetic goals, review medical history, and receive a personalized surgical plan, including pre-operative instructions.

• Pre-operative Testing: Includes necessary blood tests, EKG, and a physical exam to ensure you are fit for surgery.

• Surgery Day: The procedure is performed at the clinic’s specialized facility, typically lasting a few hours, depending on the complexity and combination with a neck lift.

• Post-operative Care: You may have a short period of observation or an optional overnight stay. Bandages will be applied, and instructions for drain care (if applicable) and recovery will be provided.

• Recovery in Seoul: Plan to stay in Seoul for at least 7 to 10 days post-surgery. This is crucial for suture removal and early monitoring of your healing.

• Communication: While clinic staff often speak English, having access to a local translator for travel and non-medical needs can enhance your experience.

• Documentation: Ensure your passport is valid and bring copies of all medical clearances and consultation notes.

• Head Elevation: Keep your head elevated, even while sleeping, for the first week to minimize swelling and bruising.

Q: How long does the facelift procedure take?

A: A standard facelift procedure typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the technique used (e.g., SMAS or deep plane) and if it is combined with a neck lift or other facial surgeries.

Q: Will the scars be visible?

A: The surgeons at Hugo Plastic Surgery specialize in minimizing visible scarring. Incisions are placed strategically within the hairline, around the natural curves of the ear, and in the creases of the skin, making them inconspicuous once fully healed. Scars will fade significantly over time.

Q: How long is the downtime and recovery period?

A: Most patients can return to light, daily activities after about 10-14 days, though bruising and swelling may still be present. It is recommended to allow 3-4 weeks before returning to strenuous exercise or social events where swelling needs to be minimal. The full result develops over several months.

Q: Are the results of a Facelift Surgery in Seoul South permanent?

A: A facelift provides long-lasting correction, effectively setting back the clock by several years. However, the aging process continues. The results of a high-quality facelift can typically last for 10 to 15 years, with the face continuing to look better than it would have without the surgery.

Q: Can I combine the facelift with other surgeries in this package?

A: Yes, it is common and often recommended to combine a facelift with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or a brow lift to achieve complete facial harmony. Any additional procedures would be factored into your personalized quote.
