Facelift Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you noticing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or a loss of definition in your jawline and cheeks? Facelift surgery—also known as rhytidectomy—is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to reverse visible signs of aging by lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues of the face. In Korea, a global leader in aesthetic innovation, facelift procedures are performed using advanced, minimally invasive techniques to deliver rejuvenated, natural-looking results.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in customized facelift surgeries tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Whether you want a full facelift or a more targeted lift for the lower face or neck, our board-certified surgeons are committed to helping you age gracefully—with elegance and confidence.

Why Choose Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is ideal for individuals who:

• Have sagging cheeks or jowls
• Notice deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines
• Experience loose skin or banding in the neck area
• Want to restore volume and contour to the mid and lower face
• Seek long-lasting results beyond what non-surgical treatments can offer

Whether your goal is to look more refreshed or turn back the clock by 10+ years, a facelift can dramatically rejuvenate your appearance.

Types of Facelift Procedures Offered

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer several facelift options depending on your age, degree of skin laxity, and personal preferences.

1. Full Facelift:
Addresses the entire midface, jawline, and neck by lifting deeper layers of facial tissue (SMAS layer), repositioning fat, and removing excess skin.

2. Mini Facelift:
A less invasive option ideal for younger patients or those with early signs of aging. Focuses on the lower face and jowls with shorter incisions and quicker recovery.

3. SMAS Facelift:
Targets the deeper muscular layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) for more natural, longer-lasting results by repositioning and tightening beneath the skin.

4. Neck Lift (Optional Add-On):
Often performed with a facelift to address sagging neck skin, double chin, and vertical banding for complete lower-face rejuvenation.

Consultation and Planning

Your facelift journey begins with an in-depth consultation at our Seoul clinic. Our surgeons will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, aging patterns, and skin quality to design a surgical plan that delivers harmonious, age-appropriate results.

During your consultation, we will:

• Analyze facial volume loss, skin elasticity, and underlying muscle tone
• Discuss your desired level of lifting and rejuvenation
• Show before-and-after cases of similar age groups
• Explain the procedure, incision placements, and expected outcomes
• Answer all your questions regarding anesthesia, safety, and recovery

We focus on natural results that reflect your best self—never pulled or “overdone.”

The Procedure: What to Expect

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or twilight sedation, depending on the technique and patient preference. It typically takes 2 to 5 hours and may be combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or brow lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Surgical Overview:

1. Anesthesia: Administered for comfort and safety.
2. Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically made along the hairline, around the ears, and under the chin (if needed) to minimize visibility.
3. Tissue Repositioning: The SMAS layer is lifted and tightened; excess skin and fat are removed or redistributed.
4. Suturing and Dressing: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a compression bandage is applied.

All procedures are tailored to your individual needs and performed with attention to detail.

Recovery and Aftercare

Facelift recovery is generally well tolerated, and most patients can resume normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Final results become more visible over several months as swelling subsides and tissues settle.

Recovery Timeline:

• Days 1–7: Bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort are common. Cold compresses and medication help ease symptoms.
• Week 1: Sutures are removed, and light activity can resume.
• Weeks 2–3: Most swelling resolves; patients often return to work or social events.
• Months 1–3: Incision lines fade, and facial contours continue to refine.

You’ll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-ups to ensure smooth healing and excellent results.
