Anti-aging & lifting

Multi-layer facelift

Repositions the skin, fat and SMAS layers together to correct cheek sagging, deep nasolabial folds and a jawline blurred by ageing.

Who it suits

  • Clear cheek and jawline sagging
  • Thread lifting no longer sufficient
  • Wants a long-lasting result

Technique highlights

  • Lifts the SMAS layer, not just the skin
  • Scars hidden around the ear and hairline
  • Can be combined with fat grafting to restore volume

Surgical steps

  • Direction of sagging assessed layer by layer
  • SMAS lifted and excess skin trimmed
  • Layered closure and facial compression dressing

Recovery & aftercare

  • Downtime ranges from none to 1-2 weeks depending on the procedure
  • Sutures removed at day 7-10 for surgical cases
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days for surgical lifting
  • The full result appears at around three months

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

How many years does it last?

Typically 5-10 years, depending on age at surgery and skin care.

Will my face look unnaturally tight?

Because tension is held in the deep SMAS layer, the surface skin is not over-pulled.
