Facelift Longevity: A 1.5-Year Follow-Up (Progress of Post-Facelift Dimpling)

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. ​...

Furthermore, with the rise in popularity of "cat-eye" or "fox-eye" looks, like those of celebrities Karina and Jennie, there has been a surge in demand for the Returning Fox Eye Lift. This has also led to an increase in inquiries about using this technique for lateral canthoplasty revision, which prompted me to prepare this post. The Returning Plastic Surgery's Fox Eye Lift is a technique called Elastic Canthopexy . It is also a reconstructive method used for intractable ectropion cases where the lateral canthal anatomy has been so severely damaged that a standard canthopexy is no longer a viable option. Side effects from a lateral canthoplasty stem from damage to the structures of the outer eye corner (the lateral canthus). This is why a simple revision surgery has a high probability of failure...

Can the Fox Eye Lift Angle Be Adjusted? A Look at Scar Length & Location Demand for lifting the outer eye corner is surging. In this third installment of our Fox Eye Surgery series, we will cover how the angle of the lift can be adjusted. Hello, this is Dr. Kim Yong-woo, Head Doctor of Returning Plastic Surgery. The demand for outer eye corner lifts is rapidly increasing, and many patients visit us after having consultations at several other clinics. As I constantly emphasize, this is a surgery that can only succeed if performed with the correct method, which makes it crucial to visit a clinic that performs it accurately. It seems many clinics are attempting to lift the eye corner using simplified methods, which consequently leads to a high rate of failure. "Doctor, is there a non-incisional way to lift my eye corners?" This is a question I hear frequently during consultations. I will give you a candid answer. I have not yet found such a method, and I don...
