This is an incisional lifting procedure that elevates sagging facial skin and the underlying tissues. An incision is made along the ear contour within the temporal hairline, followed by dissection of the fascial (SMAS) layer and release of retaining ligaments. The skin, fat, fascia, and muscle are lifted and secured in four layers, aiming to improve cheek sagging, nasolabial folds, and jawline laxity.
Procedure Overview
This is a Surgical Midface Lift procedure that lifts sagging facial skin and the underlying tissues. An incision is made from inside the Temple hairline along the ear contour, after which the fascia (SMAS) layer is dissected and retaining ligaments are released.

What Is a Facelift?
Before surgery → 6 months after surgery This procedure improves sagging caused by the effects of gravity on the skin and underlying tissues as collagen and elastin decrease with age, resulting in reduced skin elasticity. It analyzes the weakened facial structure and lifts it firmly to help restore a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Definitive Lifting Results with Retaining Ligament Release and Four-Layer Lifting
To effectively lift the fascia (SMAS) layer beneath the skin, loosened retaining ligaments are released, and the skin, dermis, fascia, and muscle layers are lifted in four layers.
Wonderful Facelift POINT
Point 1. Customized Design for Each Area of Concern
· Forehead lift: Glabellar lines, Forehead wrinkles · Facelift: Nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, deep cheek fat · Neck lift: Jawline, neck wrinkles A customized design is created according to each individual's areas of concern to prevent excessive Lifting in unnecessary areas and achieve natural-looking results that preserve unique facial characteristics.
Point 2. Retaining Ligament Release and Dissection
Retaining ligaments, which secure the facial structure and maintain its shape, loosen over time, causing decreased elasticity and sagging. By releasing the retaining ligaments along with Dissection of the fascia (SMAS) layer, the underlying cause of skin sagging is addressed and the Lifting effect is enhanced. · What is Dissection? It is the process of separating the skin tissue from the muscle layer and is the most important step in fascia (SMAS) layer treatment and retaining ligament release. If Dissection is not properly performed, there may be excessive bleeding, severe bruising and swelling, and placement of a drain may be necessary.
Point 3. Minimized Scar Revision Through Meticulous Suturing
A design tailored to the degree of sagging effectively repositions the skin and deep tissues for a natural lift. Precise, delicate suturing minimizes Scar Revision and supports a faster recovery.
