Lifting

SMAS face lift

MOOi's face lift pulls the SMAS layer where sagging originates rather than only the outer skin, so the result is clearer and longer-lasting. Surgery takes two to three hours under sedation or general anaesthesia.

Who it suits

  • Whole-face skin laxity
  • Nasolabial folds and jowls that no longer respond to tightening devices

Technique highlights

  • Reaches the SMAS layer instead of only tightening the surface
  • Incisions follow the hairline and around the ear to hide scars

Surgical steps

  • Assess how far each layer has descended
  • Undermine and lift the SMAS in the planned vector
  • Trim excess skin and close without over-tension

Recovery & aftercare

  • Two follow-ups with sutures removed at seven and 14 days
  • Daily life after about two weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on individual anatomy and after-care.
  • Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist first.
  • Surgery time and recovery figures come from MOOi's official pages and may change after the doctor's assessment.
