Facial contouring is one of the procedures that people are most curious about, in terms of when and how much it will sag.
In particular, most people worry about “Why does it seem to sag so quickly?” Patient factors + surgical factors work together Here is the result.

 

This time, I have summarized the following information about facial contouring surgeries that I am curious about.

• The main reason why sagging occurs

• Most stable pulling level (80-90%)

• The adverse effects of excessive pulling

 

3 Factors That Cause Facial Lifting to Sag Quickly

▶ ① Changes in facial weight and skin elasticity

• Everyone has different facial weight and skin elasticity.

• Frequent injections into the face after surgery can cause weight gain and accelerate sagging.

▶ ② Changes in health status

• If your face loses fat due to poor health, it may appear sagging due to decreased volume.

▶ ③ Excessive pulling by the doctor

• The expectation that “the harder you pull, the longer it lasts” can actually backfire

• 100% pulling without considering natural movement may result in looseness or lumpiness in the middle

→ The two factors of the patient and the doctor work together, and the maintenance period varies from person to person, making it difficult to make a general judgment.

 

Why is the most appropriate level of pulling '80-90%'?

✔ A range that simultaneously secures naturalness and sustainability

• If you pull too hard (100%), it will be tight at first, but over time it will actually A loose or awkward expression in the center This could be

• Pull with about 80-90% leeway is a realistic choice that takes facial movements into account

 

To easily understand the principle, let's think about the elasticity of a rubber band!

📌 When the loose rubber band is pulled to 80-90%

• It still has elasticity, so it can maintain its shape even when moved.

📌 When the rubber band is pulled to 100%

• It has little elasticity and can easily become loose or stretchy when moved.

 

→ Since the face is a tissue that constantly moves, excessive pulling can be detrimental in the long run.

 

 

Precautions to minimize re-sagging

✔ 1) Beware of factors that increase facial weight

• If substances are frequently injected into the face after the procedure, weight increases → possibility of sagging increases

✔ 2) Volume loss due to weight change

• If you lose weight due to poor health or other reasons, your face may appear saggy.

✔ 3) Avoid excessive pulling demands

• "Pull it more" can ultimately reduce both naturalness and retention.

 

 

It is difficult to simply say that the duration of facial contouring surgery is 'how many years it lasts'.
The patient's skin condition, weight, health changes, and the degree of pulling during surgery all come into play.

 

The two most important principles are:

• 80~90% pull is the most appropriate range for both naturalness and retention.

• Patient factors (weight, elasticity, health) and excessive pulling are the main causes of re-sagging.
