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.

- 01CommentsRather than mixing up various procedures from the start, I think it would be better to start with just the one area you are most concerned about. I would probably start by consulting about the part that bothers me the most when I look in the mirror.200026.10.29
- 02CommentsOnda Lifting is highly effective for tightening deep cheek fat and dull jawlines! Onda uses two handpieces: the deep layer handpiece breaks down and reduces unnecessary fat cells, while the shallow layer handpiece regenerates collagen in sagging skin to provide a firm, tightened lift. Thanks to this, it not only improves skin elasticity but also reduces fat in sagging deep cheeks and slims down the jawline. If you are concerned about the bulging lines on the lower part of your face, you can look forward to a light and smooth line with Onda Lifting!180026.10.29
- 03CommentsThey say that thin skin is sensitive to irritation, so you need to be careful. I recommend considering procedures with lower intensity first.180026.10.29
- 01CommentsI also looked for lifting creams before getting a consultation. I could definitely feel the hydration when I applied them, but I didn't really notice any significant improvement in my pores. However, since consistently moisturizing and taking good care of your skin's condition through sun protection helps, I think it would be a good idea to start with home care rather than expecting dramatic results.500026.10.18
- 02CommentsRadiofrequency or ultrasound lifting is a procedure you can comfortably receive at any time, largely regardless of the season. However, during the summer, your skin is easily irritated by sweat and strong UV rays, so you need to pay extra attention to soothing and sun protection. Conversely, in winter, managing dryness is essential, so you must provide thorough moisturizing care. Rather than focusing on the season, I recommend getting the treatment on a weekend or during a break when you have no important schedules.464026.10.23
- 03CommentsI think this is a perfectly understandable concern you might have while on your diet. When you hit a plateau, slightly adjusting your usual diet or adding light strength training to boost your basal metabolic rate are good solutions. I hope you don't give up and continue with your healthy routine!1495026.10.26
- 01CommentsTune Face allows for precise control of energy depth, making it suitable even for those with less cheek volume. Its major advantage is that it delivers high-frequency elasticity to the necessary areas while minimizing concerns about cheek hollowing. Satisfaction is high as you can expect both overall skin texture improvement and tightening effects. I hope this helps with your decision regarding the procedure.1942026.09.30
- 02CommentsI see you were very curious about the downtime for the Onda Lifting procedure due to concerns regarding jawline elasticity. While individual differences exist, the Onda Lifting generally causes minimal bruising or swelling, so only slight redness usually occurs on the day of the procedure. You can apply makeup and resume your daily activities without any issues the following day, so please feel free to schedule a consultation.781026.10.09
- 03CommentsIf it were me, I would start by getting the procedure that is your top priority. If your biggest concern is sagging facial contours, I would recommend Ultherapy; if you are more concerned about dull skin, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, I would suggest consulting about Thermage first. Then, observe the results for about two months and proceed with treatments to address any remaining issues. Rather than getting both procedures at once, I think it is better to try one first, taking your skin condition into account!932126.10.21
