✨ A Natural ‘Prime Era’ for Women in Their 60s: Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift + Facelift

Hello.

I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Today, I would like to introduce an anti-aging surgery case for a female patient in her 60s.

Since this is an age group where skin elasticity drops relatively quickly, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory improvement with simple fillers or thread lifts alone. This case required a surgery that organizes the entire facial line at once through fundamental lifting.

🔍 The Patient’s Primary Concerns

This patient visited our clinic with the following concerns:

The eyebrows had descended, making the forehead and eye area look heavy and cramped.

Under-eye hollowness, dark circles, and bulging fat created a tired impression.

Sagging in the midface (below the cheekbones, front cheeks) deepened the nasolabial folds.

Sagging skin and fat below the neck and jawline blurred the facial contours.

An overall aged appearance.

To solve these problems simultaneously, we combined three surgeries: ‘Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift + Facelift’.

Let me explain how we improved each area in detail.

✨ Surgical Composition

1️⃣ Endoscopic Forehead Lift

This is an age where the forehead and eyebrows descend together, making the eyes look smaller and often leading to a habit of unconsciously tensing the forehead. Using endoscopic equipment, we make small incisions of 1–1.5 cm inside the scalp to release the sagging frontalis muscle and the ligaments supporting the eyebrows, naturally lifting them upward.

✔ Softening of forehead wrinkles

✔ Restoration of eyebrow position

✔ Improvement of sagging eye appearance

✔ Natural impression without over-correction

2️⃣ Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift

The ‘under-eye’ area is what most people in their 60s and beyond worry about most. The skin is thin and fat pushes forward, causing simultaneous hollowness and bulging, which gives a strong impression of being tired and aged.

For this patient:

● Lower Blepharoplasty

Instead of just removing the bulging fat,

We performed Fat Repositioning to create a smooth contour.

Only the necessary amount of sagging skin was excised to restore a natural under-eye line.

● Midface Lift

Simply treating under-eye fat has limited effects. Therefore, we lifted the entire front cheek (midface) to address nasolabial folds and cheek sagging together.

✔ Improvement of dark circles and under-eye bulging

✔ Youthful impression by correcting hollowness

✔ Reduction of nasolabial folds

✔ Firming and organizing the cheek line

3️⃣ Facelift

To definitively improve the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck line, a facelift was performed. VIBE Plastic Surgery does not simply pull the skin; we use a sophisticated method of separating the SMAS (muscular layer) and lifting the ligament layer.

✔ Restoration of the jawline (V-line)

✔ Improvement of double chin and deep cheek sagging

✔ Pulled in a natural direction to avoid unnatural expressions

✔ High longevity of effects

📸 Before & After Changes

After the surgery, the patient’s heavy and sagging impression was clearly refined, and a vibrant, youthful facial line was completed.

Bright and open impression in the forehead and eye area

Smooth under-eyes that no longer look tired

Lifted midface improving nasolabial folds and cheek sagging

Defined jawline and organized overall facial contour

Restoration of natural youth without looking ‘overdone’

🏥 Why VIBE Plastic Surgery’s ‘Wellness Center’ is Important

I believe a true anti-aging clinic is not just one that performs surgery well, but one that completes the recovery. For patients in their 60s undergoing multiple lifting procedures simultaneously, how smoothly and quickly recovery occurs greatly influences overall satisfaction.

VIBE Plastic Surgery does not just provide simple cold compresses or basic care. We provide safer and more professional aftercare through our ‘Wellness Center,’ which features a dedicated recovery system.

✔ 1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

A highly effective program for reducing swelling, bruising, and pain after surgery. High-concentration oxygen is quickly supplied to the skin and blood vessels, leading to:

Faster reduction in swelling

Promotion of cell regeneration for smoother healing of bruises and scars

Significant relief of discomfort after lifting surgery by reducing post-op fatigue

✔ 2. Customized Swelling Management Program

Promotes lymphatic circulation

Gently organizes hard, swollen tissues

Relieves the feeling of skin tightness

Prevents adhesions around scars after stitch removal

Since the intensity and method are adjusted each time based on the patient’s condition, even those with a ‘constitution prone to long-lasting swelling’ recover much faster.

✔ 3. Laser Regeneration Treatment

Helps tissue recovery at the incision site through laser treatments that promote skin regeneration.

Relieves inflammation

Promotes microcirculation

Minimizes the hardening of scars after stitch removal

✔ 4. Ultrasound & High-Frequency Recovery Care

After a facelift or midface lift, the skin may initially feel tight and hard. By raising the tissue temperature with high frequency, we:

Prevent adhesions & accelerate recovery

Smooth out uneven areas

Promote the discharge of swelling

Relieve discomfort at the surgical site

With consistent care, the ‘hardness’ that makes surgery obvious is significantly reduced.

✔ 5. Systematic Progress Checks

The Director personally checks the progress and adjusts customized care immediately if necessary.

Adjusting management intensity according to recovery speed

Monitoring the path of swelling progression

Checking for skin/fascia adhesions

Continuous scar management after stitch removal

At VIBE, we consider the process of helping surgical results stay stable for a long time as an important part of the treatment.

✨ Closing Thoughts

It is a natural process for the face to sag in multiple areas simultaneously after the 60s. However, with an accurate diagnosis and the right combination of lifting procedures, you can sufficiently restore a natural and youthful image.

After the surgery, the patient expressed great satisfaction, saying, ‘I no longer hear that I look tired,’ and ‘My whole face looks so much brighter.’

The core of anti-aging surgery is not ‘how much you pull,’ but ‘how naturally you restore the structure.’ I will continue to help many people age healthily and beautifully through accurate diagnosis and delicate surgery.
