Treatment Overview
The Contour Defining Liquid Facelift is one of Korea’s most advanced non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments, designed to sculpt, lift, and refine facial features without surgery. Using a customized blend of dermal fillers, collagen-stimulating injectables (Sculptra, Juvelook), and skin boosters (Rejuran, Nucleofill), this treatment enhances jawline definition, restores volume, and smooths wrinkles.
Unlike traditional facelifts that require incisions and recovery, the liquid facelift uses advanced Korean injection protocols to achieve a natural lift and sharper contour. Clinics in Seoul are internationally recognized for their precise injection mapping and multi-layer techniques, ensuring balanced, youthful results without an “overdone” look.

Ideal Candidates
The Contour Defining Liquid Facelift is suitable for:

Possible Risks & Complications
The procedure is safe when performed by Korean dermatologists, but temporary side effects may include:
- Redness or Swelling: Common, subsides within 1–3 days.
- Bruising or Tenderness: May last up to a week.
- Small Bumps or Asymmetry: Temporary, usually self-resolving.
- Very Rare Risks: Infection, vascular issues, or uneven contouring (minimized with expert injection mapping).
Surgical Techniques Used
Although it is non-surgical, the Contour Defining Liquid Facelift requires advanced precision:
- Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid): Add volume and contour to cheeks, chin, and jawline.
- Collagen-Stimulating Fillers (Sculptra, Juvelook): Regenerate skin tissue for lasting lift.
- Skin Boosters (Rejuran, Nucleofill): Improve hydration, elasticity, and glow.
- Multi-Layer Injection Mapping: Targets both deep structural layers and surface skin for balanced results.
- Combination Care: Often paired with Shurink HIFU, Thermage FLX, or thread lifting for sharper contours.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild swelling or redness at injection sites.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms, contour definition begins to show.
- 2–4 Weeks: Wrinkle softening and collagen stimulation effects appear.
- 2–6 Months: Full results emerge as collagen builds naturally.
- Downtime: Minimal—patients can return to daily life immediately.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid massaging or pressing the treated area for 1 week.
- Refrain from alcohol, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours.
- Use hydrating and collagen-supporting skincare.
- Always apply SPF sunscreen to protect results.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Lifted contours, sharper jawline, improved definition.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Wrinkle reduction and refreshed skin.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Collagen-stimulating injectables strengthen elasticity.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–24 months; annual maintenance recommended.
