The V-Line Redefined

PRESENTED BY DREAM AESTHETICS & PLASTIC SURGERY, AS SEEN IN HARPER’S BAZAAR SINGAPORE AUGUST 2016

How often do you find yourself standing in front of the mirror, tugging at your skin to reminisce about how you looked when it was still taut? We might get wiser as we get older, but the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate slows down, which causes a decrease in the levels of collagen and elastin. Plus, the cheeks and undereye area start to lose volume, resulting in the “hollow” look. Add gravity into the mix and nasolabial folds begin to deepen while jowls around the jawline start to form. In short, that youthful V-line gives way to a U-line, before eventually becoming a W-line.

Needless to say, pushing your cheeks backwards and pulling your skin upwards not only gives you a slimmer and more V-shaped face, it also takes years off your face—which is what Dream Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery’s Mega V-Lift procedure is meant to do. Fine threads are inserted beneath the skin’s surface to promote collagen synthesis so that over time, the collagen strands produced can act like suspenders to hold and lift the skin upwards. The result? Sculpted facial contours that leave no surgical scars and allow you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.

Devised in Korea, each thread has tiny barbs throughout its length so skin tissue can adhere to it more seamlessly, minimising the risk of any dimpling or rippling effects. These sites of contact also help stimulate skin cells to produce more collagen over time, which in turn helps improve skin texture and firmness. Derived from an innovation of surgical sutures, these threads are 100 percent dissolvable, which means the body produces enzymes that will break them down naturally without

the need to remove any stitches. With optimal results expected for those aged 25 to 40, this treatment is applicable to virtually any part of the body, including the face, neck, breasts, waist and buttocks. In addition, the use of these tiny threads also allows for more flexibility, being able to treat the different concerns of individual patients—such as enhancing facial contours, balancing facial asymmetry, and tightening lax skin around the nasolabial folds, jowls, double chin and sagging neck. Ideal for mild to moderately sagging skin, the Mega V-Lift takes just about 30 minutes to an hour and offers outstanding results with little swelling and bruising. Compared to a traditional facelift surgery, which requires weeks of downtime, this minimally invasive procedure is truly a modern facelift solution. Expect naturally resculpted facial contours that can last for three years or more.
