Heavy Upper Face

Description

The term "heavy upper face"—sometimes referred to as facial sagging, skin laxity, or drooping cheeks—describes the noticeable weight and downward pull of upper facial tissues as we age. Factors like reduced collagen, volume loss, and sun exposure can lead to issues such as nasolabial folds, jowls, hollow cheeks, and even double chin or sagging neck. Commonly called “sagging skin” or “tired face,” this condition not only impacts appearance but can also affect self-confidence. Fortunately, advanced procedures like the SMAS facelift in Korea offer effective solutions by lifting and tightening deep facial structures, restoring youthful contours, and reducing the heavy, aged look. If you are experiencing a coarse, heavy face or drooping mid-face, explore specialized options designed to address these concerns and help you reveal a fresher, more vibrant you.

Facelift Procedures Full Facelift: This procedure lifts and tightens sagging skin across the lower face and neck, delivering comprehensive rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance. The clinic utilizes advanced techniques, such as the deep plane method, to minimize scarring and deliver natural results. Mini Facelift: A mini facelift targets mild to moderate sagging, focusing on the lower face and jawline. It involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery compared to a traditional facelift. Brow Lift (Forehead Lift): The brow lift elevates drooping eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles for a refreshed, more alert look. It can also help reduce frown lines between the brows. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Upper Blepharoplasty: This surgery removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to correct drooping and restore a brighter, youthful eye appearance. It also helps improve vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs sight. Lower Blepharoplasty: Targeting the lower eyelids, this procedure removes or repositions fat and skin to eliminate under-eye bags and wrinkles. It results in a smoother, more rested appearance. Eyebrow Lift (Direct Brow Lift/Incisional Brow Lift): This procedure lifts the area just above the eyes, providing a subtle but impactful rejuvenation of the upper face. It is ideal for those with sagging or heavy brows that can make the eyes look tired. Facial Contouring Square Jaw Reduction: This surgery reduces the width of the lower face by reshaping the jawbone, creating a slimmer and softer facial profile. It is popular for those seeking a more delicate or V-shaped face. Chin Surgery (Genioplasty/Chin Augmentation): Chin surgery enhances the size, shape, or projection of the chin to achieve better facial harmony and balance. Both implant and bone-cutting techniques may be used, tailored to each patient's needs. Cheekbone Reduction (Zygoma Reduction): This procedure narrows prominent cheekbones to create a softer, more balanced facial appearance. It is commonly performed to achieve a more slender and refined look. Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Nasal Bridge and Tip Rhinoplasty: This procedure reshapes the bridge and tip of the nose to enhance facial proportion and symmetry. It can address both cosmetic concerns and breathing issues. Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty: This surgery removes a dorsal hump for a straighter, smoother nasal profile. It is suitable for individuals dissatisfied with a prominent bump on their nose. Alar Reduction (Nostril Reduction Surgery): Alar reduction narrows wide nostrils to achieve a more refined nose shape. This procedure complements other rhinoplasty techniques for a balanced result. Under-Eye Aesthetic Procedures Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: This minimally invasive surgery moves under-eye fat to fill hollows and reduce puffiness. It creates a smoother, more youthful under-eye contour. THE PLAN Plastic Surgery prioritizes safety, privacy, and the most advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural, beautiful outcomes for each patient.

QD Clinic at Sinnonhyeon Station offers plastic surgery and advanced aesthetic care with a focus on safety, precision, and personalized design. Eyelid & Eye Area Surgery Under-Eye Fat Repositioning (Erbium-assisted) — Redistributes lower eyelid fat to smooth the tear trough and reduce under-eye bags, using Erbium laser for delicate dissection. It preserves useful fat and reinforces support structures to achieve a brighter, more even under-eye contour with faster recovery. Lower Blepharoplasty — Removes or repositions excess skin and fat of the lower eyelids to treat puffiness and wrinkles. The procedure refines the lid–cheek junction for a smoother transition and more rested appearance. Upper Eyelid Fat Repositioning — Restores volume to hollow upper eyelids by releasing adhesions and advancing native fat to a more supportive position. It improves eyelid symmetry and openness while avoiding an overdone look. Eyelid Revision Surgery — Corrects issues after prior eyelid surgery such as asymmetry, scarring, or over/undercorrection. Techniques include layer-by-layer adhesion release, levator repositioning, and refined fat redistribution to restore natural function and shape. Epicanthoplasty Reversal — Reverses a prior inner corner procedure to rebalance the inner eye angle. It repositions skin and soft tissue with methods like V‑Y advancement and Z‑plasty to refine tear duct exposure and inner corner shape. Lateral Canthoplasty Reversal — Restores the outer eye corner after previous lateral canthoplasty when shape or exposure is undesirable. The lateral canthal tendon and tarsal plate are reset and stabilized to achieve a natural contour and reduce re-adhesion. Facelift & Lifting Surgery Mini Lift (SMAS Vertical Mini Lift) — Targets midface and jawline laxity through a short incision with vertical SMAS elevation. It releases retaining ligaments and lifts tissues in precise vectors to sharpen the jawline and cheeks with discreet scarring. Full Facelift — Comprehensively lifts and repositions facial and neck tissues to address jowls, deep folds, and neck bands. SMAS manipulation and tailored vector design create durable definition and balanced rejuvenation. Jawline Lift (V‑Line Jaw Lift) — Refines the mandibular line by vertically elevating the SMAS and tightening peri‑mandibular tissues. A micro‑incision behind the ear helps contour the lower face with minimal visible scarring. Thread Lifting — Uses dissolvable barbed sutures to lift mild to moderate laxity in areas like the cheeks and jawline. Results appear immediately and continue to improve as collagen forms along the thread paths. Chin & Neck Contouring Double Chin Liposuction and Platysma Tightening — Combines submental fat removal with platysmal muscle tightening to define the neck and improve the cervico‑mental angle. Selective treatment of deep fat or prominent digastric/salivary components further smooths the under‑chin profile. Nose Surgery Revision Rhinoplasty — Addresses functional or aesthetic problems after previous nose surgery, such as asymmetry, irregularities, or breathing issues. Structural grafting and support techniques rebuild stability and refine shape. Energy-based Lifting & Tightening Ultherapy — Micro‑focused ultrasound delivers energy to precise depths, including the SMAS, to tighten and lift the face and neck. Real‑time imaging guides shot placement for consistent collagen remodeling and contour improvement. Sofwave — Synchronous parallel ultrasound creates controlled thermal zones in the mid‑dermis to firm skin and soften wrinkles. It suits thin skin areas and focuses on perioral and periocular tightening with minimal downtime. Thermage FLX — Monopolar radiofrequency heats the dermis uniformly to contract collagen and stimulate new collagen synthesis. Treatment improves laxity and texture across larger areas such as the face, eyelids, and jawline. ONDA — Microwave energy targets adipocytes and dermal collagen to reduce small fat pockets while tightening skin. It refines uneven contours on the face and body with comfortable, non‑invasive sessions. Skin & Laser Dermatology Erbium:YAG Laser Resurfacing — Precisely ablates the epidermis and superficial dermis to smooth texture, tighten pores, and reduce fine lines and pigmentation. Controlled depth enables efficient treatment of scars and photoaging with accurate tissue sparing. RF Microneedling (Potenza) — Insulated microneedles deliver radiofrequency into the dermis to remodel collagen and improve scars, pores, and laxity. Multiple tip options enable tailored treatments and can be combined with boosters for enhanced glow. Laser Mole and Spot Removal — Targets benign pigmented lesions such as age spots and flat warts with selective photothermolysis. Accurate energy delivery preserves surrounding skin and promotes an even tone. Injectables Skin Booster Injections — Micro‑injections of hydrating or bio‑stimulating solutions improve elasticity, texture, and glow. They complement energy devices by enhancing dermal quality without adding bulk. Dermal Fillers — Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume, contour features, and soften creases in areas like the cheeks, lips, and tear troughs. Precise placement prioritizes balance and natural movement. Regenerative Therapy Stem Cell (IV/Skin Injection) — Autologous blood‑derived components enriched in growth factors are prepared for intravenous or intradermal delivery to support repair and rejuvenation. Protocols emphasize sterile same‑day processing and individualized plans aligned with skin condition and goals.
