LUHO Facelift

Detail 1 (1)

The LUHO facelift is a lifting surgery for patients in their 50s and older that improves skin sagging by lifting the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer beneath the facial skin. When aging has significantly progressed or sagging is severe, lifting procedures that pull only the skin may provide insufficient results. In such cases, a facelift that can elevate the SMAS layer is needed to achieve appropriate results.

LUHO Plastic Surgery Facelift

Powerful lifting for long-lasting improvement of severe sagging

What is the SMAS layer?

The SMAS layer refers to a very thin fibromuscular fascial layer that covers the muscle layer beneath the skin. Because the SMAS layer is a very thin structure and vulnerable to gravity, it is a major cause of facial skin sagging.

The most important thing is minimizing scars!

Even if a facelift is performed successfully, prominent scars left in front of the ears can undermine confidence.

At LUHO Plastic Surgery, we perform in-depth surgery based on anatomical structures and, even if it takes a little longer, meticulously carry out fine suturing to help conceal surgical traces.

✅ Concealed surgical traces

✅ Without deforming the earlobe shape

✅ Meticulous fine suturing

Suitable for these cases

01 Middle-aged patients with severe skin sagging

02 Older patients with advanced aging

03 Skin sagging such as nasolabial folds, double chin, and neck wrinkles

04 Sagging that occurs after facial contouring or double-jaw surgery

    Overall, this online consultation for aesthetic eye treatment was quite good. The consultant provided detailed and patient explanations, analyzed the issues based on my eye condition, and offered suitable improvement options. There was no aggressive sales pressure during the process, which made me feel comfortable and gave me a clearer understanding of the subsequent treatment plan.
