Sagging Skin Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Sagging Skin Correction?

Sagging skin correction is a cosmetic treatment that lifts, tightens, and smooths loose or drooping skin caused by aging, weight loss, or decreased collagen production. Common areas affected include the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Depending on severity and location, treatments may include non-surgical methods like ultrasound or radiofrequency tightening, or surgical procedures such as facelifts, body lifts, or arm/thigh lifts.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we offer both non-invasive and surgical solutions for sagging skin. Our board-certified specialists assess your skin’s elasticity and overall condition to determine the most effective approach—always prioritizing natural-looking results and long-term skin firmness.

Who is a Good Candidate for Sagging Skin Correction?

You may be a good candidate for sagging skin correction if you:

✔ Have visibly loose, hanging, or wrinkled skin in specific areas
✔ Lost significant weight and now experience skin laxity
✔ Want a more youthful, tightened appearance
✔ Are in good general health and maintain a stable weight
✔ Have realistic expectations and are open to either surgical or non-surgical options

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, we tailor each treatment plan to your needs—whether that’s a full facelift for facial sagging, a tummy tuck for abdominal skin, or energy-based skin tightening for milder laxity. Our goal is to restore smoother, firmer contours that match your natural beauty.

How is Sagging Skin Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Full skin and facial/body assessment to determine the degree of sagging, skin thickness, and elasticity
• Identification of contributing factors such as aging, weight loss, or collagen depletion
• Discussion of treatment areas (face, neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, etc.) and desired level of lifting
• Evaluation for surgical (excision) or non-surgical (energy-based) solutions based on skin condition and recovery preferences

2. Treatment Approach

• The appropriate method is chosen based on treatment area, skin severity, and patient goals:

– Surgical Skin Lifting (e.g., Facelift, Arm Lift, Tummy Tuck): Involves removal of excess skin and tightening of underlying tissue for dramatic, long-lasting results
– Thread Lifting: Biodegradable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and stimulate collagen; ideal for mild to moderate facial sagging
– Ultrasound or RF-Based Lifting (Ultherapy, Thermage): Non-invasive options that use energy to tighten deeper layers and gradually improve skin firmness
– Laser Skin Tightening or Microneedling RF (e.g., Potenza): Stimulates collagen and elastin to reduce crepiness and improve skin texture
• Procedure duration ranges from 30 minutes (non-surgical) to 3–4 hours (surgical)

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Recovery depends on the chosen treatment:

– Surgical Lifting: Swelling and bruising for 1–3 weeks; compression garments or facial wraps are required
– Thread Lift: Minor swelling, bruising, and tightness for 3–7 days
– Energy-Based Treatments: No downtime, though slight redness or tingling may occur temporarily
• Avoid excessive facial movement, strenuous activity, or sun exposure in the early phase
• Follow-up visits track healing and assess lifting effect

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Surgical Methods: Swelling subsides in 2–3 weeks; full results in 2–3 months
• Thread Lifting: Recovery in 3–7 days; final effect in 4–6 weeks
• Ultrasound/RF: No downtime; collagen remodeling continues for 2–3 months
• Return to Daily Life: 1–14 days depending on treatment type

Adhering to aftercare—including gentle skincare, hydration, and avoiding strain—is essential for optimal skin tightening and longevity of results.
