Yep.
@seoulsister and
@Mazikeen the deep plane facelift can alter one’s face dramatically and if it goes horribly wrong and makes one look like a lizard or the skin is pulled in the wrong angle, well that’s that, irreversible disaster. There is no reversing a facelift after the skin has been trimmed too much and smas layers trimmed and sutured tight. I am thinking the best results seem to be in ladies who have severe facial skin sagging with numerous wrinkles. If one does it too early, there may not be much skin and smas to tighten so this could end up making the face too windswept and unnatural aka Madonna or the surgeon may just do a token skin excision and omit the smas muscle layer, which may only last 6 months as skin, loosened and then pulled tight during surgery, tends to just stretch over time and within 6 months may look like before surgery again. Choosing the right plastic surgeon for a facelift can be a minefield. Dr Kirk at Namu, the head surgeon at ASPS, and Dr Dongman Park at Bio plastic surgery clinic seem to have good facelift results. There is a big difference between 9-12 million won ie $9-11k for a facelift in Korea vs $75,000 for a facelift in NYC vs £15,000 or $22,000 for a facelift in the U.K. Facial fat grafting for volume at 2.5 million won or $2,000 plus a top up for 1 million won or $800 is much more affordable and the option I have gone with to stay looking young in my 50s. No doubt when I hit 60, I may feel desperate for a facelift.
