My close friend recently went through a deep plane facelift at RNWOOD Plastic Surgery in Seoul, and I know how confusing it gets when you’re researching whether this procedure is actually worth it or just hype.
Before her surgery, she was constantly going back and forth between “Is this really necessary?” and “Will I still look like myself after?” She was mainly worried about looking overdone or pulled, which is something a lot of people fear with facelifts.
After doing a lot of research and consultations, she chose RNWOOD because they focus heavily on deep plane facelift techniques, which target the deeper facial layers instead of just tightening skin.
Her Experience
She said the consultation felt very detailed and not rushed. The doctor explained how aging isn’t just skin sagging, but deeper structural descent of fat pads and ligaments. That explanation actually made her feel more confident about going ahead.
Still, she was nervous about:
- Swelling and downtime
- Looking different or artificial
Surgery & Early Recovery
The first week was definitely the hardest part, mainly due to swelling and tightness. But she mentioned the pain was manageable with medication.
Results After Healing
This is where her opinion really changed.
After about 1–3 months, she started noticing:
- Jawline looked sharper but still natural
- Neck contour became smoother
- Cheeks looked lifted but not “pulled”
- No overly tight or stretched appearance
