Cheongdam Plastic Surgery: Natural Mid-Life Lip Corner Lift Surgery
Discover natural lip corner lift surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery, Golden Diamant. Dr. Song Sang-hoon explains how to restore a youthful, vibrant smile by addressing age-related changes in the lips.

Hello.
I am Song Sang-hoon,
Chief Director of Cheongdam Plastic Surgery, Golden Diamant.

As we age,
we become more quickly aware of
changes in our face shape and skin condition,
and this is especially true for changes in the mouth area.

The mouth area is one of the most mobile features and is significantly affected by the aging of facial skin and muscles.
As aging progresses,
the strength of the levator anguli oris muscle, which supports the corners of the mouth, weakens.
As the strength of the levator anguli oris muscle weakens and the fat layer around the mouth diminishes, the skin stretches and volume also decreases,
leading to drooping lip corners due to a complex interplay of factors.
Therefore, lip corner surgery for middle-aged individuals
is not simply a procedure that involves incising and lifting the corners of the mouth,
but rather one that comprehensively considers
muscle strength, skin elasticity, and the volumetric placement of facial fat layers.
A three-dimensional and natural
lip restoration surgery must be performed concurrently.

Today, I would like to explain the ‘characteristics of lip corner surgery’ performed at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery,
along with some important points regarding ‘mid-life lip corner lift surgery’.
Lip corner surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery
has three major advantages.

1. To minimize perioral depressions that can occur from lifting sutures in lip corner surgery, and to address existing perioral wrinkles previously hidden by the lip corners, we perform our clinic's unique techniques of dermal grafting and wrinkle-preventing incisions.
2. Through extensive research and surgical expertise accumulated over more than 20 years of specializing in mouth-focused surgeries as a board-certified plastic surgeon, I develop personalized surgical methods tailored to each individual's mouth shape, achieving optimal lip corner surgery results that are not standardized.
3. To create the most suitable mouth shape for each client's facial features, we custom design and adjust the angle and excision amount during lip corner surgery. Through these adjustments, we also perform horizontal lip lengthening procedures as needed, depending on the mouth shape.

In the case of mid-life lip corner surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery,
the surgical outcome is not simply beautifully lifted lip corners, but rather,
a procedure that preserves the individual's tissues while harmonizing with naturally aged skin and facial features,
further enhancing one's unique ambiance and strengths.

Especially for those whose lip corners were lifted in the past but have drooped with age due to
decreased fat in the side cheek area,
weakening of the lip corner muscles,
and sagging of the deep cheek fat,
in cases of mid-life lip corners where the lip corners appear to droop,
more definite results can be achieved by combining lip corner plastic surgery with
lifting procedures such as skin boosters, elasticity lasers, thread lifts, or mini-lifts around the mouth area.
Mid-life lip corner surgery performed at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery
allows for face washing from the day after surgery,
and through our in-house scar care program, you can receive 3 complimentary scar management sessions after surgery.

I find great reward in meeting clients who, after correcting their drooping lip corners with Cheongdam Plastic Surgery's ‘mid-life lip corner lift’,
have transformed into a gentle and brighter image,
and have come to love themselves a little more.
