F.A.Q

FAQ (Frequently Asked) Question Lifting Inquiries

Q.Difference between Facelift and Mini-Lift? +
A Face Lift is a full-scale surgery that makes an incision from in front of the ear to behind it and lifts the entire sagging SMAS layer; it is the most effective for deep sagging, and its effect lasts more than 10 years. A Mini Lift has a smaller incision area and focuses mainly on the cheekbone-to-jawline region, allowing for faster recovery, and is suitable for early sagging around the age of 40.
Q.How visible are facelift scars? +
The incision line is designed to be naturally concealed along the border in front of the ear and inside the hairline. After 6 months to 1 year, it becomes almost invisible, hidden by the hair or the shadow of the ear. VVLY applies a scarless suturing technique during closure to minimize scarring.
Q.Ultherapy, Thermage, or InMode—which is best? +
All three devices differ in their principle of action and depth. Ulthera (HIFU ultrasound) acts deepest, down to the SMAS layer, providing strong lifting power; Thermage (radiofrequency) is strong at regenerating collagen in the dermis layer; and InMode is effective for partial sagging and contour refinement. Combined procedures generally maximize the effect more than a single procedure.
Q.What are the effects of laser treatment? +
Fraxel and CO2 lasers regenerate the skin surface to improve fine wrinkles and pores, pico-toning is effective for pigmentation and blemish care, and V-beam is effective for redness and vascular care. When performed together with a lifting procedure, both sagging and skin tone are improved simultaneously, creating great synergy.
Q.What age do you recommend a lift? +
The degree of sagging, rather than age, is the standard. In general, incisional lifting is effective from the late 40s to the 50s, while a mini lift or non-incisional procedures (Ulthera, thread lifting, etc.) are sufficient for those in their 30s to early 40s. An accurate diagnosis can be confirmed during a one-on-one consultation.
Q.Any alternatives if recovery time is a burden? +
If you wish to return to daily life immediately without the burden of recovery, we recommend non-incisional procedures such as Ulthera, InMode, and thread lifting. However, since the effect lasts only a short period of 1 to 2 years and has limitations in cases of severe sagging, regular reinforcement is necessary.
