Definitively Correcting Age-Related or Post-Osteotomy Laxity
As we age, the impression of the face gradually changes. At our clinic, we offer lift-up treatments designed to improve sagging caused by aging or changes in the facial structure, including post-osteotomy sagging. With age, not only does the skin stretch, but the underlying facial muscles and surrounding tissues also loosen, and fat volume diminishes—making sagging more prominent. In some cases, excess skin and subcutaneous tissue may result in sagging after osteotomy surgery. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will propose the most suitable treatment plan for each patient, ranging from device-based therapies to surgical facelifts.

Classic Incision Facelift
A surgical facelift (incisional facelift) is a procedure that improves facial sagging not only by lifting the skin but also by tightening the underlying fascia (SMAS layer). The incision is made around the ear, where scars are less noticeable, allowing for effective improvement of sagging and wrinkles in both the face and neck.
-
Mini-Incision Lift
Mini-lift surgery is performed with a smaller incision area than a full facelift, depending on the degree of sagging. It lifts the SMAS layer to improve skin laxity. Incisions are relatively short and placed in front of the ears and within the hairline, making scars less noticeable.<br /> This procedure is ideal for those who wish to correct mild sagging or prevent signs of aging.

Submental Platysma Plication (“Pelican” Surgery)
This procedure removes excess fat beneath the chin and tightens the neck’s platysma muscle to correct a heavy, sagging “double-chin” appearance.
-
Temple Lift
A temporal lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin around the temples to improve wrinkles and sagging around the eyes. It is especially effective for addressing the mid-cheek groove, also known as the diagonal line running from the under-eye area to the cheek. When combined with other facelift procedures, it can produce synergistic results.
-
Forehead Lift
A forehead lift involves an incision along the hairline between the temples, lifting lax skin while smoothing wrinkles and excising the excess. This not only softens horizontal forehead lines but also elevates the brows and upper eyelids, giving the entire face a more youthful look.
-
Mid-Face Lift
The mid-face extends from just below the eyes to the level of the nostrils. Ageing reduces skin elasticity and depletes fat and bony support here, causing early sagging. A mid-face lift simultaneously rejuvenates this zone and brightens under-eye hollows, restoring youthful cheek volume, gentle roundness, and a lift at the corners of the mouth.
-
Lip Lift (Philtrum Shortening)
A lip lift—also called philtrum-shortening surgery—removes a narrow strip of skin just beneath the nose, reducing the distance between the nose and the upper lip and restoring overall facial balance. By shortening the philtrum, the upper lip gains projection and definition, giving the face a firmer, more youthful look.
