A few months ago, I was deep in the midlife crisis Google search rabbit hole—you know, the one where you look up:
“How to get rid of sagging skin without looking fake?”
“Best anti-aging treatments that actually work?”
“Facelift or laser treatment—which one is better?”
I wanted to refresh my face, but I wasn’t ready for a dramatic, overly tight facelift. Instead, I was looking for a subtle, natural lift with skin rejuvenation. That’s when I found out about combining facelift surgery with laser treatments for tighter skin + improved texture and tone.
Why Combine a Facelift with Laser Treatments?
After talking to specialists, I realized that a traditional facelift only addresses sagging—it won’t improve fine lines, sun damage, or skin texture. That’s where laser treatments come in.
Facelift = Lifting and tightening deep tissues
Laser treatments = Resurfacing and collagen boosting
By combining the two, you get the best of both worlds—not just tighter skin, but brighter, more youthful skin.
Finding the Right Clinic – My Journey to 1mm Plastic Surgery
I knew I wanted the procedure done in Seoul because:
South Korea is known for its advanced anti-aging procedures
Surgeons there are specialists in natural-looking facelifts
Clinics offer cutting-edge laser technologies
After some serious research, I booked a consultation at 1mm Plastic Surgery with Dr. Eon Rok Do, Dr. Hong Jin Kim, and Dr. Young Su Na.
Why 1mm Plastic Surgery?
They specialize in facelift procedures that look youthful, not overly pulled
They use premium laser treatments like Fraxel and Thermage to enhance the results
Their team speaks English and works with international patients regularly
During the consultation, they explained everything clearly:
SMAS facelift for deep lifting
Laser resurfacing for smoothing wrinkles and boosting collagen
Minimal downtime compared to traditional facelifts
Results & Recovery
Surgery + laser took about 5 hours
Downtime: 2 weeks of swelling, but minimal bruising
Final results: Tighter, firmer skin with a natural glow
Honestly, I couldn’t be happier. My face looks refreshed, but not “done”—just like a more youthful version of myself.
