Considerations Before Getting a Lifting Procedure
Hello, I am Lee Jong-jin, head director of Ceramique Clinic.
As the signs of aging naturally begin to appear on the face,
it's only natural that interest in lifting procedures increases.
However, before stepping through the doors of a Gangnam skin clinic, many questions and concerns often arise.
So, today, I wanted to delve into what to consider before visiting a dermatologist.
Have I accurately assessed my skin condition?
When considering a lifting treatment,
the first thing to do is to objectively look at your skin condition.
It's not as easy as you might think to distinguish whether the changes you see in the mirror are simply natural signs of aging,
or whether they require special care.
Because various changes such as loss of elasticity, fine lines, sagging cheeks, and a blurred jawline appear in combination,
it can be difficult to decide which areas to prioritize.
In particular, there is a clear difference between the results you see in photos
and the effects you can expect on your own skin.
Before the procedure,
you need to be clear about what you really want.
This is a point that many medical professionals have emphasized.
Rather than vaguely wishing to 'look younger,'
it's necessary to take the time to organize what specific areas you want to improve and what level of change you expect.
Harmony between lifestyle and treatment plan
A part that is easily overlooked when planning a lifting procedure is harmony with daily life.
There have been cases where people have experienced difficulties after rashly scheduling a procedure without fully considering the recovery period, the possibility of side effects, and management methods.
If you are working, you need to consider how to manage changes in appearance during the recovery period,
and if you have important meetings or events scheduled, you need to consider how to adjust the timing of the procedure.
In addition, you should plan your follow-up appointments for continuous management in advance.
In particular, seasonal factors are also an important consideration.
It is more advantageous to choose a time when ultraviolet rays are relatively weak, rather than the summer when you are easily exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, for post-operative care.
Has there been sufficient communication with the medical staff?
The key to successful lifting management starts with smooth communication with the medical staff.
It is essential to honestly convey your concerns and expectations,
and to fully listen to the advice of the medical staff.
Starting with the fundamental question of whether you really need a lifting procedure on your face,
you should specifically ask what type of procedure is most suitable, what the expected effects and duration are, and whether there are any side effects.
In addition, it is important to receive sufficient consultation in advance regarding post-operative management methods, the need for additional procedures, and costs.
If you undergo the procedure without resolving all your questions,
you will inevitably be caught off guard in unexpected situations later on.
Economic burden and realistic planning
Lifting management is not a one-time procedure, but an area that requires continuous management.
Therefore, a realistic plan is needed that considers not only the initial procedure cost but also the additional costs for maintenance.
If you stop managing in the middle due to excessive financial burden, the procedure's effects may not be properly maintained.
Therefore, it is most important to establish a reasonable treatment plan that suits your economic situation.
Understanding side effects and complications
The possibility of side effects exists with any procedure.
Since lifting procedures are no exception,
it is necessary to fully understand and prepare for possible side effects in advance.
Temporary swelling, bruising, and pain are relatively common reactions,
but in rare cases, serious complications such as infection or nerve damage may occur.
You should be aware of these risks and check the response plan in preparation for an emergency.
In particular, if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking any medications, you must inform the medical staff before the procedure.
This information plays an important role in selecting the procedure method or preventing side effects.
Setting realistic expectations
Excessive expectations for lifting procedures can actually reduce satisfaction.
There are clear limitations to the effects that can be obtained through the procedure, and there are considerable individual differences.
Because various variables such as age, skin condition, lifestyle habits, and genetic factors affect the procedure results,
it is not realistic to expect the same effect as someone else's procedure results.
Above all, through consultation with medical staff,
it is important to fully understand the realistic results that can be expected in your situation,
and to set appropriate expectations accordingly.
Finally, I hope that you will make a wise decision after going through sufficient consideration and preparation,
and I sincerely support you in achieving ideal results in the journey of beautiful change.
Until now, this has been Lee Jong-jin, head director of Ceramique Clinic.
Thank you.
