Lifting & Youthful Rejuvenation

A youthful appearance is not defined by dramatic change, but by balance, proportion, and subtle refinement. As we age, skin laxity, volume loss, and structural descent can alter facial harmony. Modern lifting procedures are designed not to transform identity, but to restore natural contours and rejuvenate facial structure with precision.

Why Lifting Procedures Matter in Facial Rejuvenation

Facial aging occurs gradually. The forehead may droop, brows descend, cheeks lose firmness, and skin elasticity decreases. Over time, these changes can create a tired or heavy appearance.

Lifting procedures aim to:

• Elevate sagging skin and soft tissue

• Restore youthful contours

• Improve skin tightness and elasticity

• Enhance overall facial balance

• Create natural-looking rejuvenation without exaggeration

Unlike temporary treatments, surgical lifting procedures can provide longer-lasting structural support when performed with proper anatomical understanding.

THE BB Plastic Surgery – Personalized Facial Balance & Rejuvenation

Rather than offering standardized procedures, the clinic emphasizes:

• Detailed facial proportion analysis

• Tissue-based surgical planning

• Personalized design for each patient

• Transparent communication

• Long-term facial balance

Every lifting procedure is approached with precision, focusing on maintaining natural expression while improving youthful structure.

Lifting Procedures Offered at THE BB Plastic Surgery

1. Forehead Lift

• Create a more open and refreshed appearance

• Reduce forehead wrinkles

• Improve symmetry

• Restore natural brow position

At THE BB Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Dr. Hyung-geun Kang evaluates brow height, forehead length, muscle activity, and skin elasticity before recommending surgical planning.

2. Forehead Reduction

By carefully adjusting hairline position, this procedure can:

• Improve facial proportion

• Enhance harmony between upper and mid-face

• Create a softer, more balanced aesthetic

Because proportion is central to youthful appearance, forehead reduction is carefully measured and customized.

3. Laser Lifting

Benefits may include:

• Skin tightening

• Improved texture

• Subtle contour refinement

• Reduced fine lines

Laser lifting is typically suitable for mild skin laxity and can complement surgical lifting for comprehensive rejuvenation.

4. Thread Lifting

This treatment may help:

• Improve jawline definition

• Reduce early sagging

• Enhance mid-face support

• Provide shorter recovery compared to surgery

At THE BB Plastic Surgery, thread lifting is recommended only when clinically appropriate, following a detailed consultation.

5. Incisional Facelift

This procedure can:

• Lift deeper facial layers

• Improve jowls

• Restore jawline definition

• Reduce sagging in the lower face

Performed under documented anesthesia protocols, the procedure emphasizes natural contours rather than over-tightening.

6. Combined Forehead Lift + Forehead Reduction

This integrated approach can enhance:

• Upper facial rejuvenation

• Brow symmetry

• Facial proportion

• Overall harmony

Because each face is unique, combination procedures are only recommended after thorough anatomical assessment.

The One-Doctor System: Accountability & Continuity of Care

Dr. Kang personally oversees:

• Consultation

• Consistent aesthetic judgment

• Unified surgical technique

• Clear accountability

• Reliable follow-up management

This system reinforces patient trust and continuity throughout the treatment journey.
