Customized Lifting Based on the Degree of SaggingImproves not only the skin but also the SMAS layer, effectively correcting sagging deep within the skin.

Facelift

Lifting sagging skin
that has lost elasticity for
semi-permanent wrinkle improvement

After precisely analyzing sagging, wrinkles and loss of elasticity caused by skin aging,
the fascia (SMAS), fat and skin layers
are lifted together to improve wrinkles across the face.

A Customized Lift Tailored to Your Facial Structure

We carefully analyze each individual's facial structure, including the depth of the SMAS layer, thickness of the fat layer and any asymmetry,
to precisely design the most suitable surgical method.

Less scarring, natural even as time passes

Incisions that follow the ear's creases and delicate suturing minimize scarring for a natural change.

Three-Dimensionally Designed, Balanced Lifting

Precise lifting in different directions for each skin layer preserves volume and naturally pulls up loose skin.

Lifting in different directions for each layer

Facelift Surgical Method

After the incision, the SMAS layer and the skin are lifted in layer-specific directions, the excess skin is trimmed,
and the wound is sutured naturally to redefine the facial contours.

  • Skin Incision and Subcutaneous Dissection

    An incision is made from inside the hairline along the ear line
    to behind the ear.

  • Retaining ligament and SMAS dissection — nasolabial folds, mouth-corner wrinkles, deep cheeks, neck wrinkles

    Retaining Ligament and SMAS Dissection

    The skin and fascia (SMAS)
    are sufficiently dissected.

  • Lifting and Retaining Ligament Re-fixation

    The sagging fascia (SMAS) layer is lifted vertically,
    and the skin is pulled diagonally.

  • Delicate Suturing

    Excess skin remaining after lifting is removed
    and multi-layer sutures are placed without deforming the ear.

*Complications such as infection and inflammation may occur after surgery,
and satisfaction varies from person to person.
