[Notice] I Performed a Facelift on My Mother-in-Law! 1-Year Review

Image
Hello. I am Dr. Kim Yongwoo, a plastic surgery specialist at Returning Plastic Surgery. ​ This post covers the 6-month follow-up story after performing anti-aging surgeries—including eyes, nose, fat grafting, and facelift—on my mother-in-law. ​ In December 2023, around the time my own mother’s facelift recovery was wrapping up successfully, I visited my in-laws. Naturally, their interest was focused on my mother’s recovery. In fact, I had recommended anti-aging surgery to my in-laws several times in the past. However, since my mother-in-law had never undergone even a simple plastic surgery procedure in her life and is nearly 10 years younger than my mother, I had mostly suggested it to my father-in-law. But seeing my mother's results must have given her courage. This time, she cautiously opened up about the complex issues regarding her face that she had been harboring. If her son-in-law weren't a plastic surgeon, she is the type of person who would never have had su...

Title: Facelift Longevity: A 1.5-Year Follow-Up (Progress of Post-Facelift Dimpling) Hello. I am Dr. Kim Yongwoo, a plastic surgery specialist at Dr. Returning Plastic Surgery. ​ This post is a follow-up review 1.5 years (one year and six months) after a facelift. Typically, we monitor a patient's progress for 6 months to 1 year after a facelift, but due to various circumstances, some patients do not return after their initial treatments are complete. However, the patient in this case has consistently visited the clinic, allowing us to observe her progress up to the 1.5-year mark. Most reviews found online are short-term, so I hope this post will serve as a helpful reference for the long-term results of a facelift. The patient (in her 50s) I'm introducing today experienced dimpling in the early post-operative stages. This post is intended to be particularly helpful for those who have experienced dimpling or unevenness after their facelift, so they can see the progress. ​...
