FACE LIFTING Face Lift Surgery

With Powerful Lifting Effects
Simultaneously Resolve Facial Sagging and Wrinkles
Face lift surgery addresses extensive sagging and wrinkles from the midface to lower face
caused by decreased skin elasticity due to aging.
By dissecting as widely as possible from the SMAS fascial layer, the root cause of aging,
and sequentially lifting the fat and skin layers, powerful lifting effects can be achieved.
Among all types of lifting procedures, this is the most effective method for wrinkle improvement
and can be considered the most fundamental approach to maintain facial elasticity and slow aging.

※ Surgical methods may vary depending on individual conditions, and there may be differences in swelling, bruising, and recovery time after surgery.

WHY? Why Must We Lift
to the SMAS Layer?

Skin sagging is not just the skin drooping;
the SMAS layer also sags simultaneously.
Generally, as we age, skin sags due to collagen deficiency and gravity's effects.
In fact, the fat tissue and SMAS layer inside the skin sag along with the skin.
Therefore, if only the skin is lifted during facelift surgery, significant results cannot be achieved.
Only by simultaneously lifting the SMAS layer can we achieve good results.
What is the SMAS Layer?
The SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is a fascial layer surrounding muscles, a very thin fibromuscular layer located at 4.5mm depth between the subcutaneous fat and muscle layers, which is difficult to reach with lasers.

Q&A MyLine Face Lift Surgery
Frequently Asked Questions

Q.I heard facelift incisions are extensive. Will there be significant scarring?
A. Immediately after surgery, scars may appear red but will gradually fade over time.
Additionally, we make incisions along the ear line to minimize scar visibility
and suture meticulously to minimize scarring, so there's no need for major concern.
Q.Will sagging recur after facelift surgery?
A. Since aging cannot be completely prevented, sagging and wrinkles may develop over time after surgery.
At MyLine Plastic Surgery, we help improve your appearance to look younger
for several to over ten years depending on your condition, maintaining long-lasting results.
