Hello, I'm interested in Full Face Lifting at LAHYEON Plastic Surgery. Could you suggest a plan for me?

Continue to my inquiry

No booking until you confirm.

Assessing the whole face

The director assesses the whole face in three dimensions, from the eyes and between the brows to the cheeks, jawline and neck, and checks asymmetry, the degree of sagging and skin thickness before planning.

The base is a lift with dissolvable threads that pull up sagging skin and stimulate collagen. Other treatments are added only where they are needed.

Areas and what is treated

Eye area: crow's feet. Between the brows: frown lines. Cheeks: sagging. Nasolabial folds: deep lines. Jawline: V-line shape. Neck: neck lines and contour.

Treatment options compared

Thread lift: immediate lift and V-line; 30–60 min; lasts 1–2 years; recovery 1–3 days.

Q-O-Fill (hyaluronic acid with PRP growth factors): volume and regeneration; 30–45 min; lasts 12–18 months; recovery 2–5 days.

Botox: softens wrinkles and relaxes muscle; 10–20 min; lasts 4–6 months; no recovery time. PRP (your own blood): skin regeneration; 45–60 min; lasts 6–12 months; recovery 3–7 days.

Rejuran Healer (polynucleotide): regeneration and elasticity; 10–20 min; lasts about 3–6 months after 3–4 sessions; redness or bruising usually clears in 2–3 days. HIFU lifting: works down to the SMAS layer; 15–20 min; how long it lasts varies by device and skin; no recovery time.

Combining treatments

A combined plan is common: threads for the base lift, Botox for expression lines, Q-O-Fill or filler for volume, and PRP or Rejuran for skin regeneration. Innofill, which combines radiofrequency with filler, is also available. Order and intervals are adjusted to your condition.

Botox and filler can be done on the same day. Using Botox to control muscle movement and filler to restore volume often looks more natural than either alone.

Questions

Are there restrictions on daily life after a thread lift?

Recovery is short, and daily life is possible right after treatment. Avoid hard exercise and saunas for about a week. Slight swelling or bruising may last a few days and can usually be covered with makeup.

What does a thread lift do?

Threads lift sagging skin right away to shape a V-line, and they stimulate collagen to improve elasticity. They can address nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the eyes and the jawline. Treatment time is short, and the lift is visible from right after the procedure.

How long does a thread lift last?

Usually about 1 to 2 years, depending on the thread type and your skin. Collagen forms as the threads dissolve, so some effect remains after they are fully absorbed.

Do the threads have to be removed later?

No. All threads used are dissolvable and are absorbed by the body over time, stimulating collagen as they dissolve.

Who is full face lifting for?

People bothered by sagging across the face, those who want a V-line without surgery, and those who want a visible lift right away. It also suits reduced skin elasticity, nasolabial folds or a soft jawline, and the plan is based on an analysis of your skin.

Can I get the swirl V-line lift?

Full face lifting includes several thread-lifting techniques. For the V-line, the director looks at your face shape, how much it sags and your jawline, then chooses the thread and technique that suit you at consultation.

How is the thread chosen?

The director looks at your skin, how much it sags, the result you want and the area, then chooses the thread. An accurate diagnosis matters, so the plan is set at consultation.

HIFU lifting or a thread lift: which is better?

HIFU lifting works down to the SMAS layer, while a thread lift gives an immediate visible lift. The choice depends on your skin and goal, and the director recommends one at consultation.

Can I have Botox and filler on the same day?

Yes. Botox relaxes muscle movement and filler restores volume, so combining them can give a more natural result. The order and interval may be adjusted to your condition.

How is Q-O-Fill different from regular filler?

Q-O-Fill combines hyaluronic acid filler with PRP growth factors. The growth factors promote collagen, which supports the filler and helps it last longer.

Is PRP treatment safe?

PRP uses your own blood, so the risk of allergy or rejection is very low. It relies on growth factors taken from your blood, so side effects are few and the regeneration is natural.

Is combining treatments more effective?

Treatments can be combined: a thread lift for the base lift, Botox to prevent expression lines, Q-O-Fill or filler for volume, and PRP or Rejuran for skin regeneration. The director suggests the combination, order and interval for your condition.

Results vary by person.

Photo from the private recovery room. I was moved enough to write a review. Dr. Im Jung-woo kept me at ease right up until the sedation. At my age the weight wasn't coming off easily, so after thinking it over I had liposuction on my thighs and abdomen. The director checks on you carefully at follow-ups too. I'm still recovering, but I think it went well.

I had breast surgery with the representative director, and he's so skilled I wanted to leave a review. I really like the result. I'm going in every week for aftercare these days.

I wanted a natural change to my look, compared several places and ended up at Lahyeon. At the first consultation they listened to my concerns properly. There was no push to book a treatment; they explained honestly only what I needed, which made me trust them and decide without pressure. The result looked far more natural than I expected. People around me only said things like "you look prettier somehow". They walked me through recovery in detail and answered every question kindly, which was reassuring. If you're looking for a clinic in Gangnam and want a natural result, I'd recommend a consultation here. They don't overdo it and suggest what suits you. Overall a very good experience.

I've trusted them with my skin and scalp for over two years. I also do body care at their medical spa. It isn't cheap, but once you get used to it you can't stop. You don't notice much while you're doing it, but when you stop it really shows. If you want private care, Lahyeon is a good choice.

The clinic is clean throughout and has a private atmosphere, so I could relax during my treatment. The consultation was thorough and based on my skin's condition. Afterwards my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and even. The staff were kind too. I was satisfied.

The consultant, front desk, the doctor and the aftercare team were all kind. I was surprised; it's the first clinic like that for me. The price was fair with no padding, so I paid the deposit right after the consultation. Glad I found a clinic that felt good from start to finish.
