SMAS facelift tightens the SMAS layer along
with the skin
Facelift is an incisional lifting operation
that tightens the face by releasing the muscles and the skin of the entire
cheek area by inserting incisions behind the earlobe along the temporal and the
sideburn hairlines.
Much more proven and reliable results will
be seen as the facelifts at Area88 Plastic Surgery Clinic are solely operated
by our highly-skilled surgeon with incomparable techniques and abundant surgical
experiences.
Understanding where the wrinkles are and
what causes them are the most crucial factors for a facelift.
As we age, the SMAS layer loosens and
descends due to gravity. Accordingly, the upper skin layer and the fat layer
gradually sag as well.

1:1 Customized surgery appropriate for the individual’s
aging process is chosen.
To find the most suitable surgical procedure
for the patient, it is important to understand the extent of loosening of retaining
ligaments, which support the soft tissues in different parts of the face.
The extent of loosening of retaining
ligaments supporting the cheekbone area,
Whether the sagging of the retaining
ligament is limited to the anterior malar,
If the sagging is only prominent along the
jaw line, etc.
The condition of the individual’s face must
be assessed in detail.
Likewise, we offer 1:1 customized facelift
according to the individual’s thickness of the skin, the extent of sagging and
the direction of the wrinkles rather than a unified facelift to help the
patients to achieve highly satisfying results.

Lifting is divided into
incisional and non-incisional procedures. Currently, many different lifting
operations are being performed. Dr. Joo Heon Lee at Area88 Plastic Surgery
Clinic operates facelift, neck lift, and mid-cheek lift that require advanced
surgical techniques effective for deep wrinkles to improve facial wrinkles
around the eyes, forehead and cheek area as well as the neck by tightening the
SMAS layer deep under the skin to its original state.
Why a facelift, not a threat lift?
There
are people who prefer non-incisional thread lifting and other lifting
procedures using lasers or ultrasound because they are simple and fast.
However, those procedures tighten only the skin layer leading to their pitfall
of short lasting effects.
Therefore,
the only real surgical procedure for improving deep wrinkles is the SMAS
facelift.
Our facelift expert, Dr. Joo Heon Lee brings
high quality results by understanding the extent and the direction of lifting
needed for each patient in order to achieve maximum lifting results.

incisions behind the ears and below the chin where it is not too noticeable (3cm
in width).

Many people think that neck lift surgeries
are dangerous. However, this is not true. Since all the important nerves are distributed in the inner side to that
of the area being lifted during the neck rejuvenation that there will be no
harm done to the tissues. Furthermore, there will be no interference in daily
life from 10 days after the neck lift surgery due to its rather short recovery
time.

understands the tissues under the skin in detail with his countless surgery
experiences is in charge of the full process from consultation to surgery and even
up to the follow-up sessions.

If
the skin and SMAS (fascia) are not dissected in a uniformed matter or not
dissected enough, it will be difficult to achieve lifting effects where bumpy
results may occur.
For
more definite and highly satisfying results, it is crucial for the skin as well
as the SMAS (fascia) to be dissected in a uniformed matter and pulled tightly.

been consistently publishing academic journals and performing research
presentations in the fields of facial rejuvenation (facelifts) and
