Pulling from the SMAS layer
is the true facelift

As we age, the skin stretches and loses elasticity, and facial tissue visibly sags. By firmly lifting and securely anchoring the SMAS layer, the cause of sagging, you can see a lifting effect across the entire face, jawline, and neck.

Without damaging the facial nerves,
the improvement is assured

Pulling only the skin surface damages the connection between the facial expression muscles and the skin, which easily results in an unnatural or awkward face, and the effect does not last long. For that reason, a lifting surgery that pulls the skin layer, fat layer, and SMAS layer together is needed for natural, long-lasting results.

The most powerful lifting effect:
SMAS Facelift

The connective tissue that forms the skin loosens and loses elasticity, and as the skin sags, wrinkles begin to form on the face and neck. Through a facelift, we improve the fat and fascia layers beneath the sagging skin together, removing wrinkles on the face and neck and tightening the skin tissue to achieve a natural lift.

Worried about scars?

The incision begins inside the temple hairline, follows the line in front of the ear, and continues behind the earlobe.
