QuestionNameAnswerDate
Facelift
How long do the effects last?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is the longest-lasting lifting procedure because it corrects the SMAS layer itself, generally lasting 7-10 years or more. Individual differences exist as aging continues.

Thread Lifting
Will the threads be visible or palpable?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf inserted at the correct depth, they are rarely visible or palpable. Our clinic precisely analyzes anatomical positions to perform the procedure at the optimal depth.

Dr. Dongil ChoiDepending on the results, an additional touch-up may be recommended 3 to 6 months after the first procedure. Proceeding in stages yields more natural results.

Rejuran Healer
Can it be used under the eyes or on the forehead?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it can be applied to the entire face and is often used for under-eye fine line care. The depth and amount are adjusted differently depending on the area.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Can I get it together with eye surgery?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is a frequently recommended combination with eye surgery. Lifting the sagging eyebrows and forehead allows the eye surgery results to settle more clearly and naturally.

Facelift
How is it different from thread lifting?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThread lifting is a non-incisional procedure that pulls the surface skin, while a facelift is a full surgery that dissects and corrects the SMAS layer itself. The recommended procedure varies depending on the depth of sagging.

Thread Lifting
Can I get it together with a facelift?
Dr. Dongil ChoiCombinations are possible depending on the individual's degree and area of sagging. We often recommend complementing deep sagging with a facelift and surface lines with thread lifting.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is mainly harvested from the abdomen and thighs, and the harvesting area is inconspicuously suctioned in small, dispersed amounts.

Skin Booster
Can I get it together with laser or thread lifting?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is often performed together to accelerate recovery or maximize effects after other procedures. The interval between procedures is determined during consultation.

Rejuran Healer
What about the risk of allergic or immune reactions?
Dr. Dongil ChoiAs it is composed of polynucleotides, which are pure DNA fragments, there is almost no immune response and little concern for foreign body reactions.
Answered 2026.07.11
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
How long does the effect last?
Dr. Dongil ChoiBecause the SMAS and periosteal layers are lifted together, the effect generally lasts for more than 7-10 years. Since aging continues, there are individual differences.
Answered 2026.07.11
Facelift
Can I get it with fat grafting or other procedures?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is often recommended to undergo it alongside fat grafting, eye surgery, or thread lifting. Correcting sagging and filling sunken areas provides a more natural youthful effect.
Answered 2026.07.11

Dr. Dongil ChoiMajor swelling subsides in 1 to 2 weeks, and minor swelling can last up to a month. Natural results settle at 3 to 6 months.
