Midface Lifting in Seoul, Korea: The Center of Your First Impression
———— ✦ ————
The midface — from beneath the eyes to just above the mouth corners — is where people read energy and youth. BYUS Signature Midface Lifting rebalances it by deciding what to lift and what to fill.

The Signature Program
Lift Here, Fill There
———— ✦ ————
Small changes in the midface have an outsized effect. A front cheek that has dropped a few millimeters, or a hollow at the border between under-eye and cheek, can make you look tired even when you are not. Many people try to fix this with filler alone and end up looking heavier, not fresher.
BYUS first checks whether the problem is sagging, volume loss, or both — looking at skin, fat and the SMAS (fascial) layer together. Treatment is then planned as one continuous flow from under the eyes to the mouth corners, deciding precisely where to lift and where to fill, and avoiding overfilling.
Because it is a program rather than a single procedure, the method is chosen only after BYUS has decided how far to go.

Three Combinations
Example Treatment Pathways
———— ✦ ————
These combinations are examples only — your actual plan depends on diagnosis.
- Combination 01 · Ulthera Prime + Filler — ultrasound energy supports tightening at the fascial layer while filler restores hollowed front cheeks and the nasolabial area.
- Combination 02 · Facial Fat Grafting — your own fat fills the hollowed midface; some grafted fat may be absorbed.
- Combination 03 · 1-Inch Lift & Pentagon Lift + Fat Grafting — a small incision of about 2 cm at the temple lifts and fixes sagging tissue, the pentagon lift gathers tissue around the front cheek, and fat grafting restores volume. For those wanting more structural change than threads, without a full facelift.
Matched to Degree
How Far Should We Go?
———— ✦ ————
Mild sagging generally responds to laser lifting and filler. Moderate sagging with volume loss calls for a combined approach. Pronounced sagging may need lifting surgery. BYUS explains the limits of non-surgical care openly, and simple hollowing from weight loss or severe sagging may be better served by fat grafting or other lifting procedures.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
———— ✦ ————
Is midface lifting surgery or a non-surgical treatment?
It can be either. Depending on your diagnosis, the plan may use Ulthera Prime and filler, facial fat grafting, or a small-incision 1-inch and pentagon lift with fat grafting.
Why not just use filler in my cheeks?
If the cheek has dropped, filling alone can make the face look heavy. BYUS separates lifting needs from filling needs so each is addressed appropriately.
What is the 1-inch lift?
A lifting procedure using a small incision of about 2 cm at the temple to lift and fix sagging tissue. In this program it is paired with the pentagon lift and fat grafting.
How long will I need in Seoul?
It depends on the combination. Non-surgical pathways usually fit a short stay, while surgical combinations need more time. Your plan will include expected recovery.
Can this replace a facelift?
For mild to moderate midface changes it may. Pronounced sagging may still call for lifting surgery, and BYUS will tell you honestly.
Will I need follow-up treatments?
Follow-up visits are part of the program, and the next care visit is set according to your progress.
