After the age of 40, Mia began noticing increasingly visible signs of facial aging. Her skin gradually lost firmness, facial contours became less defined, and excess fat accumulated in her upper arms, making her hesitant to wear her favorite sleeveless outfits. Wanting to restore a youthful appearance while maintaining natural-looking results, Mia chose Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital for a facelift combined with upper arm liposuction.

Mia has always believed that self-care is an important part of maintaining confidence. However, despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a consistent skincare routine, she could not prevent the natural signs of aging from becoming more noticeable.
Her facial skin gradually developed skin laxity, particularly around the cheeks and jawline, causing her facial contours to lose definition. At the same time, localized fat accumulation in the upper arms made them appear bulkier, leaving her self-conscious whenever she wore sleeveless dresses or short-sleeved clothing.
After reading numerous positive reviews from local patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients, Mia decided to visit Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, a medical center well known for facial rejuvenation and body contouring procedures performed according to modern surgical standards.
At Kangnam, Mia was personally evaluated by Dr. Nicolas Hung (Duong Viet Hung), who assessed both the degree of facial aging and the amount of excess fat in her upper arms.
After carefully analyzing her condition and discussing her aesthetic goals, Dr. Hung developed a personalized treatment plan consisting of:
According to Dr. Hung, combining these two procedures within a single treatment plan allowed Mia to achieve a more comprehensive transformation by rejuvenating her facial appearance while enhancing her overall body proportions.
What reassured Mia most was the highly individualized treatment approach. Rather than dramatically altering her appearance, the surgical plan focused on achieving harmonious, natural-looking results appropriate for her age and facial characteristics.
Following surgery, Mia was closely monitored by Kangnam’s surgeons and nursing staff throughout her recovery.
She received detailed postoperative instructions regarding wound care, follow-up appointments, and daily precautions to support optimal healing.
As recovery progressed, her facial skin became noticeably firmer, her jawline appeared more defined, and visible signs of skin laxity were significantly improved. At the same time, the removal of excess fat from her upper arms resulted in a slimmer, more balanced silhouette, allowing her to confidently wear clothing she had previously avoided.
What pleased Mia most was the natural quality of her transformation. Her face looked noticeably younger while preserving her unique facial features, and her improved body proportions boosted her confidence in both her professional and personal life.
Facelift surgery and liposuction are technically demanding procedures that require extensive surgical expertise and strict clinical protocols to ensure both patient safety and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
At Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation before surgery. Treatment plans are individually tailored according to the patient’s degree of aging, facial anatomy, body composition, and aesthetic goals.
For facelift procedures, Kangnam emphasizes correcting visible signs of aging while preserving natural facial expressions. For liposuction, surgeons carefully determine the appropriate amount of fat to remove in order to create balanced body contours rather than pursuing an excessively thin appearance.
The hospital features modern operating rooms, advanced surgical technology, and an experienced medical team, including Dr. Nicolas Hung, a specialist in facial plastic surgery.
With standardized medical protocols, state-of-the-art facilities, and high-quality patient care, Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital has become a trusted destination not only for patients throughout Vietnam but also for overseas Vietnamese and international patients seeking facelift surgery, liposuction, and comprehensive facial and body rejuvenation.
If you are looking to improve visible signs of aging or achieve a more balanced body contour, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicolas Hung and the expert team at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital to receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Note: Cosmetic surgery outcomes vary depending on each patient’s anatomy, degree of aging, overall health, and adherence to postoperative care instructions.
