The issue with soft tissue
Why support matters
After age 20, our skin loses about 1% of its collagen each year —causing the soft tissue to become thinner and less elastic.
And after surgery, soft tissue only heals to 80% of its original strength.

In fact, clinical studies show that within 10 years after plastic surgery, 32-48% of patients undergo a second procedure to revise their initial results—most commonly citing soft tissue weakness or deficiency as the reason behind these secondary procedures.
