Natural Rejuvenation by Lifting the Deeper SMAS–Ligament Layer

A deep plane facelift repositions the SMAS and retaining ligaments as a unified layer—lifting the midface, jawline, and neck without skin tension. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facelift specialist delivers refined, long-lasting rejuvenation that looks like you—just fresher, smoother, and naturally youthful.

Why Patients Choose a Deep Plane Facelift

  • Softens nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Lifts the midface (cheek–under-eye transition)
  • Defines the jawline and reduces jowls
  • 结合颈阔肌训练，可改善颈纹和颈部松弛。
  • Longer-lasting results vs. skin-only lifts; softer, more natural movement

Are You a Good Candidate?

  • Midface descent, jowling, neck laxity, or deep folds
  • Desire for natural results without a “pulled” look
  • Good overall health and realistic expectations
  • Suitable for primary or revision facelift patients

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

We evaluate facial vectors, SMAS thickness, ligament laxity, neck anatomy, skin quality, and photo history to plan:

  • Midface elevation for tear-trough/cheek harmony
  • Jawline contouring and prejowl smoothing
  • Neck refinement (platysmaplasty, deep fat management)
  • Volume strategy (micro-fat grafting) where needed

流程运作方式

  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia (select cases: deep sedation)
  • Incisions: Discreetly around the ear and within hairlines
  • Technique: Release key retaining ligaments → mobilize SMAS/midface → lift and redrape without skin tension
  • Add-ons (as indicated): Platysmaplasty, deep neck contouring, micro-fat grafting, laser refinement
  • Time: ~3–5 hours; outpatient in most cases

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Swelling/bruising: most settle in 7–14 days
  • Light activities: ~1 week; strenuous exercise: ~3–4 weeks
  • Sleeping elevated and meticulous incision care
  • Numbness/tightness gradually resolves as tissues settle
  • 结果将在 6-12 周内持续改进

Results You Can Expect

  • Lifted midface with smoother cheek–lid junction
  • Defined jawline and softened jowls
  • Improved neck contour and youthful angles
  • Natural expressions since tension is placed deep, not on skin
  • Outcomes that age gracefully with you

Combining Procedures for Best Harmony

  • Lower blepharoplasty for under-eye bags/hollows
  • Brow/temporal lift for lateral hooding (when indicated)
