A record of a facial lifting I received near Hongdae
These days, whenever I look in the mirror, my cheekbones and jawline keep popping out of my eyes, so I looked into lifting procedures.
I made an appointment at a dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station and ended up getting Portra Lifting, which is called the second generation of titanium lifting.
I usually don't like places that are too crowded because they get hectic, but this place is 100% reservation-only, so the interior feels calm and private.
Even areas like the washing area were kept clean and tidy.
3D diagnosis and consultation process
Before starting the procedure, I first took a picture of my face with a 3D precision diagnostic device.
It's not just about looking at it with your eyes, but extracting data and analyzing it.
My face felt a bit tight while I was washing and waiting, so I used the mist provided.
The consultation with the director lasted quite a long time, about 30 minutes.
We discussed the data, focusing on my concerns, such as the nasolabial folds and the deep cheekbones, and discussed how to focus on each area to ensure symmetry.
In addition to lifting, I also had a checkup on my overall skin condition, including pores and pigmentation.
How it felt on the day of the procedure
The director performed the procedure himself, and started by rechecking the 3D diagnostic data and deciding on the design.
Portralifting is said to be a 4th generation high frequency method, and since it also has a cooling function, I felt almost no pain and only a slight heat sensation.
It didn't hurt much even though I did it right away without any anesthetic cream.
Immediately after the procedure, I applied a soothing pack for about 10 minutes and finished with sunscreen.
I think it took about an hour, from consultation to treatment.
The hospital also provided me with a calming pack and vitamin ampoule samples.
About 3 days have passed
-
Before the procedure: Concerns about sagging cheeks and uneven facial lines
-
Immediately after the procedure: There may be a slight fever, but you can return to your daily life immediately.
-
Day 3: The jawline, deep cheekbones, and nasolabial folds feel more refined than before.
People around me sometimes ask if I've lost weight, but I've actually gained weight, so I think it's having some effect on my facial line.
They say that the effect will be more noticeable after about two weeks when collagen is produced.
As the procedure is still in its early stages, there may be individual differences, and we will need to wait and see how long the effects will last.
