ABOUT

What is a Facelift?

A surgery that fundamentally improves overall facial wrinkles and sagging by pulling from the SMAS layer.

Fundamental lifting pulling from the SMAS layer

the face from the SMAS layer is a surgery that improves sagging skin, facial lines, and overall facial wrinkles by pulling, and among anti-aging surgeries, the most definitive effectis a method where you can expect.

Unlike procedures that only pull the skin surface, it corrects the sagging of the SMAS layer itself, which is the fundamental cause of aging, so the results are stable and long-lasting.

Facelift is traditionally the oldest and most advanced method. It is a surgery that brings out the best results by pulling the internal tissue (SMAS layer) and excising the remaining skin.

Most of the scars are hidden in the hairline and behind the ear, and the actually exposed part is a small area in front of the ear, which looks like a wrinkle line.

โ€ป Incisions are made in invisible areas inside the hair, so scars are barely visible.

WHY SMAS

Pulling only the surface
does not last long

The skin is a complex structure composed of the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, and SMAS layer. Sagging due to aging is not a phenomenon of the surface skin stretching, but as the SMAS layer itself sags downward, it occurs. If only the surface is pulled and sutured, it will return to its original state, but if the SMAS layer is dissected and pulled, the essence of sagging is corrected and the results are stably maintained.

Is pulling only the surface OK? NO!
Is thread lifting enough? NO!
All at once? YES!
Anatomical Precise Dissection

Proceeds safely with precise dissection considering the location of facial nerves and blood vessels.

Invisible Incision Line

Incisions are made inside the hair, so scars are barely visible.

KNSY DIFFERENCE

Gangnam Seoyeon's Unique Differences

Fast Surgical Technique

We believe there is relatively less swelling due to the fast surgical technique.

Scar Minimization through Aftercare

We minimize scarring through post-operative aftercare (swelling laser, scar laser, etc.).

Lifting to the Deep Layers

It lifts not just the skin, but deep into the internal tissue layers.

Minimization of Nerve Damage Risk

By acquiring accurate anatomical surgical techniques, we minimize fatal risks such as nerve damage.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take?
Major swelling subsides in about 2-3 weeks, and minor swelling and bruising may last up to 1-2 months. Natural results settle in about 3-6 months.
Are the incision scars visible?
Because the incision line goes inside the hairline and along the contour of the ear, it is barely visible in daily life. It fades further over time.
How long do the effects last?
It is the longest-lasting lifting procedure because it corrects the SMAS layer itself, generally lasting 7-10 years or more. Individual differences exist as aging continues.
How is it different from thread lifting?
Thread lifting is a non-incisional procedure that pulls the surface skin, while a facelift is a full surgery that dissects and corrects the SMAS layer itself. The recommended procedure varies depending on the depth of sagging.
Can I get it with fat grafting or other procedures?
Yes, it is often recommended to undergo it alongside fat grafting, eye surgery, or thread lifting. Correcting sagging and filling sunken areas provides a more natural youthful effect.
Surgery GuidelinesComplications such as bleeding, infection, inflammation, nerve damage, scarring, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, and results vary by individual. Please consult thoroughly with a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate procedure decision.
