A casual meet-up with friends led to a conversation about the good old days. Someone mentioned, “I’m thinking about lifting my face again,” and everyone started chiming in. To my surprise, many friends had already undergone surgery, and they were eager to share their experiences.
“At first, I thought it was fine, but scars started showing after some time.”
“It looks fine when I smile, but somehow it feels awkward when I’m just relaxed.”
“Near the eyes, it felt like something was pulling and tingling.”
Hearing this made me nervous, but it also sparked curiosity about why these problems occur.
I learned that most traditional facelift surgeries work by only tightening the skin superficially. Even if it appears firm, the underlying structure remains unchanged, which leads to the feeling of looseness over time. Particularly, as we age, we worry about sagging cheek and jawline, and it’s hard to fix these issues by just pulling the skin.
One friend who had a second surgery mentioned that although better, the result was still not natural, and awkwardness in facial expressions remained. Despite the same hospital and doctor, the difference came down to the precision of the surgery.
Then another friend mentioned, “Nowadays, surgeries are done using 3D imaging, which allows viewing in finer detail. It’s different from just using a magnifying lens as it reduces damage by making precise incisions near nerves or muscles.”
Surgeries typically use loupes (magnifying glasses), which have limitations based on viewing distance and angle, requiring uncomfortable neck bending. Even experienced surgeons find it difficult to intricately view underlying skin structures.
This new 3D-based surgical approach uses enlarged 3D imaging, allowing precise and safer handling of nerves, ligaments, and fascia. Previously, reaching the deeper SMAS layer was challenging, but now it can be properly observed, dissected, and lifted. There are also mentions of precise reshaping of ‘deep fat’ in lower cheeks.
Surgeons can perform the surgery without excessively bending, reducing fatigue and maintaining focus, which positively affects outcomes.
Listening to this makes me think, instead of rushing into surgery, I’d prefer to wait for such techniques. Achieving more natural, longer-lasting results without scars or odd expressions would make any wait worthwhile.
Consider the impact of advancements in technology,
Isn’t it really worth considering?
From firsthand experience in surgical settings, advanced 3D microscope technology provides better visibility of complex facial structures. This technology-based approach offers significant differences, especially when safely accessing deeper anatomical layers like the SMAS.
