Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Personalized Anti-Aging Surgery Led by Dr. Uiyeong Jeong

Overview of Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Facial rejuvenation surgery is a comprehensive anti-aging surgical specialty designed to restore youthful facial contours affected by aging. Over time, skin laxity, deepened wrinkles, volume loss, and tissue descent can alter facial balance and expression, often creating a tired or aged appearance.

At Dojagi Clinic in Seocho-gu, Seoul, facial rejuvenation surgery focuses on correcting these changes through structured, medically guided surgical techniques. Rather than treating isolated areas, the clinic approaches facial aging as a combination of skin, soft tissue, muscle, and skeletal changes that require integrated correction.

Facial rejuvenation surgery at Dojagi Clinic is performed under the supervision of Dr. Uiyeong Jeong, a board-certified plastic surgeon and Director of the Plastic Surgery Center, who leads individualized surgical planning based on facial anatomy and aging patterns.

What Facial Rejuvenation Surgery Addresses

Facial rejuvenation surgery is designed to improve multiple age-related concerns, including:

Sagging facial skin and loss of elasticity
Deepened nasolabial folds and facial wrinkles
Flattened or sunken facial volume
Drooping eyebrows or forehead wrinkles
Midface sagging that alters facial balance
Jawline and neck laxity affecting facial contours

Each concern is evaluated as part of an overall facial aging assessment, rather than as a standalone issue.

Types of Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery addresses sagging skin and deep wrinkles by lifting facial tissues starting from the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). By elevating deeper structural layers rather than only tightening the skin, facelift surgery aims to restore facial firmness and contour in a stable, balanced manner.

This approach helps improve overall facial sagging while maintaining natural facial expression.

Midface Lift

Midface lift surgery focuses on sagging in the cheekbone and nasolabial fold areas. By lifting the central facial region, this procedure helps restore midface volume and contour, contributing to a more youthful facial structure without excessive tension.

Mini Facelift

Mini facelift surgery uses a reduced incision range and is designed for patients seeking subtle improvement with shorter recovery time. This option may be considered when aging changes are mild to moderate and limited to specific facial areas.

Forehead Lift

Forehead lift surgery addresses drooping eyebrows and forehead wrinkles that can create a heavy or tired appearance. By improving forehead position, this procedure may also help widen the visual field and create a brighter, more refreshed facial expression.

Neck Lift

Neck lift surgery improves concerns such as double chin appearance, neck wrinkles, and sagging skin. This procedure focuses on refining the jawline and restoring firmness to the neck area for a clearer facial profile.

Autologous Fat Grafting

Autologous fat grafting involves transferring a patient’s own fat to areas of facial volume loss. This technique is used to restore fullness and three-dimensional facial balance, supporting natural anti-aging results when combined with lifting procedures.

Forehead Reduction Surgery

Forehead reduction surgery is designed for patients with a wide forehead or high hairline. By improving vertical facial proportions, this procedure contributes to a more balanced and youthful facial appearance.

Combination Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Combination facial rejuvenation surgery integrates lifting procedures with fat grafting or additional facial corrections in a single surgical plan. This approach allows multiple aging concerns to be addressed cohesively, enhancing overall facial harmony.

Post-Surgical Care and Maintenance

Dedicated medical staff provide one-on-one follow-up care, supported by recovery-focused programs such as laser management, regenerative treatments, and nutritional IV or injection support.

Recommended Candidates for Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Facial rejuvenation surgery at Dojagi Clinic may be considered for individuals who experience:

Fatigue-related or aged facial appearance due to wrinkles or sagging around the eyes and mouth
Unsatisfactory or short-lasting results from thread lifting or laser treatments
Limited improvement from non-surgical procedures alone
Drooping eyebrows or a wide forehead that affects facial expression
Loss of volume in the forehead, cheeks, or nasolabial areas
Collapsed facial lines or noticeable midface sagging

Final candidacy is determined through an in-person consultation and diagnostic evaluation.

Combined Lifting Laser Treatments

Dojagi Clinic may integrate non-incisional lifting laser treatments as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan when appropriate.

Ulthera

A high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device that delivers energy to the SMAS layer to support lifting and elasticity improvement without incisions.

Shurink Universe

A HIFU-based lifting system designed to stimulate collagen across multiple skin layers, offering shorter procedure time and quicker recovery.

Thermage

A radiofrequency (RF)-based lifting device that promotes collagen remodeling in the dermal layer, supporting skin tightening and texture improvement.

These treatments are considered supportive options and are planned in alignment with surgical goals.
