A Deep Plane Facelift is one of the most transformative anti-aging procedures available—but it’s also more complex than traditional facelift techniques. Many patients wonder: How long will I need to recover? and Can I return to my routine quickly?
At 345 Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, recovery doesn’t mean long hospital stays or weeks hidden away. Thanks to their advanced surgical techniques and science-backed post-op care protocols, 345 has developed a comprehensive recovery system designed to minimize downtime and maximize healing.
Here’s how 345 Plastic Surgery helps you bounce back faster after your Deep Plane Facelift—so you can enjoy your youthful transformation sooner.
🧪 The Science Behind Faster Recovery at 345 Clinic
At 345, recovery starts before the first incision. Their strategy combines:
- Minimally invasive dissection techniques
- Tissue-sparing surgical methods
- Preserved blood supply for better healing
- Advanced technology for real-time nerve and vessel monitoring
By avoiding unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues, the Deep Plane Facelift performed at 345 causes less swelling, bruising, and discomfort than outdated facelift methods.
🧠 “The less we disturb, the faster you heal.” — Dr. Lee Seung-Min, 345 Clinic
💼 What Is the Typical Downtime After a Deep Plane Facelift at 345?
| Stage | Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate Recovery | Days 1–3 | Mild swelling, tightness; rest recommended |
| Early Healing | Days 4–7 | Sutures in place, noticeable improvement in swelling |
| Suture Removal | Day 7–10 | Incisions healing well, bruising begins to fade |
| Return to Normal Activities | 2–3 weeks | Light activities, travel, and work (non-strenuous) possible |
| Final Results | 3–6 months | Natural contours fully revealed; scars fade |
With 345’s protocol, many international patients are ready to fly home in 10–14 days.
