DOJAGI CLINIC
Youthful Face Surgery Made by Precision
Dojagi Clinic's youthful face surgery is a premium customized anti-aging program that precisely combines facelift, micro fat grafting, liposuction and more to suit each person's facial structure and skin condition.
During surgery, the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and deeper tissues are lifted to restore firmness and contours at the same time, and, if needed, combined procedures such as fat grafting · wrinkle correction are added for more natural, longer-lasting results.

How Is It Different from Similar Surgeries?
Three plastic surgeries that refine facial impression and lines.
Anti-aging SurgeryYouthful Face Surgery
Improves skin sagging, deepened wrinkles and lost volume from aging, according to your facial structure.
The surgery you are viewing
Eye SurgeryEye Plastic Surgery
Eyes that suit you, designed to fit your eye structure and facial balance.
A facelift is surgery that makes incisions in front of and behind the ears and along the hairline to lift sagging across the whole face from the SMAS layer, while a mini lift uses a smaller incision and focuses on sagging in the cheeks and midface. The choice is made at the consultation based on the degree and area of sagging.
QHow is it different from thread lifting or lasers?
A
Thread lifting and lasers are non-surgical treatments that insert threads or deliver energy without incisions, while a lift is surgery that directly pulls up and secures sagging tissue. Surgery is often recommended for deep sagging and non-surgical treatment for mild sagging, and the two are sometimes used together.
QWhere will the scars be?
A
Incision lines are placed in less visible areas, such as in front of and behind the ears and inside the hairline. Redness at the incision fades over several months, and the degree of scarring varies with skin condition and the person.
QWhen can I return to daily life?
A
Usually the stitches are removed after 7–10 days, and many people return to daily life around 2–3 weeks, when major swelling and bruising subside. Avoid saunas and strenuous exercise for 1 month.
QCan fat grafting be done at the same time?
A
If lost volume is a concern along with sagging, a lift and autologous fat grafting are sometimes planned together. We combine only the surgeries you need, based on your facial structure and skin condition.
Precautions After Youthful Face Surgery
Care after surgery is just as important as the surgery itself.
Recovery speed and progress may differ from person to person, and side effects such as bleeding or inflammation may occur depending on aftercare, so careful attention is needed.
Until the stitches are removed, applying cold compresses is recommended. (However, do not press the surgical area hard while applying compresses, and wrap the pack in gauze or a thin towel.)
Apply cold compresses for about 10–15 minutes, rest briefly, and repeat every 3 hours.
Be careful with bending your head down, pressing on your face, or exaggerated facial expressions, as they can interfere with recovery.
Temporary tightness, reduced sensation, slight swelling or left-right asymmetry after surgery are natural recovery reactions and gradually settle within 2–3 weeks.
Use the prescribed ointments and medications consistently according to the schedule you were given.
To speed up recovery, we recommend plenty of rest, sun protection and keeping your skin moisturized.
Saunas, hot compresses, strenuous exercise, alcohol and smoking can cause inflammation or bleeding, so please avoid them for 1 month after surgery.
