Returning Plastic Surgery

In this session, I have prepared information regarding the types of facelift side effects, the reasons they occur, and how to avoid them. Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yongwoo, Chief Director of Returning Plastic Surgery. Recently, the demand for facelifts has increased rapidly. As many clinics perform facelifts, it seems there are also many people suffering from side effects. It appears that patients planning for a facelift are having more concerns after seeing reviews of facelift side effects. Before undergoing surgery, let’s take a detailed look at what facelift complications exist, why they occur, and what the methods are to avoid them.

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. ​...

 Hello, I’m Dr. Yongwoo Kim, board-certified plastic surgeon at Returning Plastic Surgery. In December of last year, I performed a facelift for my mother. For many surgeons who specialize in lifting procedures, performing a facelift for one’s parent is a deeply personal and meaningful milestone. But even so, it’s something many of us hesitate to do due to the emotional pressure of operating on family (often referred to as "VIP syndrome") and concerns about achieving perfection. Having already operated on several relatives — including my wife — I’ve realized that I personally don’t carry that burden. More importantly, my surgical skills and confidence in facelift procedures were at their peak, and I felt strongly that it was time to give back to my mother. Over the span of a month, I performed facelift surgery on both my mother and mother-in-law. Today, I’m sharing the 6-month journey and results of my mother’s procedure. Convincing My Mother In December 2023, I visited my mot...
