V3 Lifting Experience: Worth It!

I’ve done all my skin care routine really properly but we all age anyway. I was starting to look my age when I’ve noticed skin sagging. When I’ve got a chance to travel to Korea I was overwhelmed with an opportunity to get some procedures done. I wanted to get a youth restoring procedure that didn’t require long hospitalization because I didn’t have enough time in Korea for a long rehabilitation. My Korean friend introduced Id hospital to me. She said it is the biggest and the most famous hospital for plastic surgery in Korea, and that they offer various lifting procedures. I was really excited to get a consultation to know about the options. Facelift was way too invasive for my case, so the consultant offered SMAS lift or V3 lift. Both surgeries didn’t require a long time recovery and sounded promising. The doctor recommended V3 lift personally for me. V3 lifting basically tightens saggy skin with threads, removes excessive fat and slims muscles down. The doctor said that I would look much freshier if that’s a right word. I was also impressed that they recommended a slightly cheaper option out of two, so I decided to listen to the doctor’s advise.. And I’m SO GLAD I DID. I can’t describe how much happier I feel after this decision. The recovery takes a while like any other cosmetic procedure, you need to wait to see the result, but once you do.. you enjoy every moment of your “freshier” self. I followed all instructions down to the tee so my recovery was quick. As for now my husband loves my new look, my co-workers say I look much better, my friends ask what I had done, and as for myself, I don’t need to use filters and photoshop for my pictures anymore. I’m truly much more confident with my face now. I highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is considering lifting in their middle age. As far as I know it’s a technique developed by Id hospital so it’s impossible to get it elsewhere, but if you are in Korea and willing to enhance your look, get a consultation to see if you are a candidate. I also cannot skip the doctor. Mr Seo Young Tae is wonderful and pays attention to details. I couldn’t ask for a better surgeon. His professionalism and honesty during the consultation played a huge role in my final decision. I am happy with my choice and I’m looking forward to come back for a more dramatic lifting in the future to the Id hospital

"I recently wanted to get my nose tip and nose bridge reduced... I consulted with the director [Dr. Seo] and the manager. When they talked about reducing the nose, they asked me what I was talking about and said that my nose was so useless that it would be hard to breathe. If it wasn't uncomfortable, they told me not to do anything unnecessary and told me honestly that they would only improve the tip of my nose... I really liked the fact that they recommended moderately and not excessively, so I had the surgery.
