    Hello, I am Dr.Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLine Plastic Surgery. Over the past 32 years, I have performed more than 100,000 surgeries specializing in facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Recently, I have focused heavily on helping patients in their 60s and beyond reclaim their youthful vitality through advanced deep plane facelifts. I deeply understand the anxiety that comes with experiencing both sagging and facial volume loss at the same time, and today, I would like to offer a clear, professional solution to your concerns.

    (Question)
    Q1: Will combining a facelift with facial fat grafting give my face more youthful dimension and volume?
    (Answer)
    A: Absolutely. By pairing a facelift to reposition sagging tissues with a fat transfer to replenish lost volume, you target the two core causes of facial aging simultaneously—delivering a highly effective, dual-benefit youth restoration.

    While a facelift excels at lifting the loosened SMAS (muscular) layer to redefine the jawline and smooth deep nasolabial folds, adding a stem cell fat graft enriched with Autologous ECM takes it a step further. This combination awakens your body’s natural regenerative power from deep within the skin layers, resulting in a beautifully firm, three-dimensional, and balanced facial contour.

    (Question)
    Q2: After a facelift, my skin feels so tight that it's hard to open my mouth, and my expressions look stiff. Are these symptoms temporary? When will it start to feel natural?
    (Answer)
    A: Rest assured, feeling temporary stiffness in your facial expressions and experiencing minor difficulty opening your mouth are completely normal, transient symptoms. In fact, over 80% of these symptoms resolve within 2 to 4 weeks post-op.

    This happens because the sagging SMAS layers and skin are being anchored back to their original, youthful positions, which creates temporary tension in the tissues. As the soft tissues soften up over the course of about one month, more than 90% of your natural facial expressions will return.

    At TheLine, our meticulous dissection techniques—backed by a proud 19-year accident-free track record—ensure that facial nerves are thoroughly protected. Furthermore, our dedicated Stem Cell Research Institute utilizes advanced autologous cellular therapies to rapidly restore tissue flexibility.

    In particular, integrating Autologous ECM (Extracellular Matrix) accelerates the healing of deep tissues, allowing swelling and stiffness to subside much faster. By the 3-month mark, your results will blend so seamlessly that others won't even realize you had surgery. You can confidently look forward to a completely natural smile that highlights the 'most authentic version of you,' rather than an artificial, over-pulled look.
