Facelift, jawline and neck
114 source posts connected by subject, across Dr. Moon’s personal blog and the ILCHI clinic blog.
Writing in this collection discusses facial lifting, the jawline and neck, including how earlier operations and the amount of loose skin enter the planning discussion. Some posts compare approaches; others describe a particular case or the clinic’s own terminology.
The archive preserves these differences. A case discussion is a record of the writer’s interpretation at that time, and a clinic education post explains the clinic’s position. Neither should be read as a guarantee of an individual outcome. The current facelift guide provides a starting point for discussing the operation actually proposed, its incision plan and the areas it aims to address.
