SMAS Face Lift
See the Face Lift▼
In South Korea, the number one surgery that can dramatically reverse the signs of aging is the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) Face Lift surgery. SMAS Face Lift surgery is currently the most effective surgery in smoothening out the wrinkles and excess droopy skin, restoring the youthfulness of the face. The effects are also very long lasting at 10 ~ 12 years. However, this is a complex surgery and should only be undertaken by highly qualified and experienced surgeons.

The SMAS layer lies deep in the skin and is mainly in charge of supporting the skin’s tissue, it lies under the soft subcutaneous fat layer. The subcutaneous fat layer is where collagen is found and is mainly in charge of keeping the skin firm. However, as we age, collagen production slows down, and thus the SMAS layer collapses and becomes flabby. This is the cause of the wrinkles in the face.
Hence during the SMAS Face Lift surgery, the SMAS layer is separated out and pulled firm, the excess elongated tissue is cut and remove. Lastly the surface level skin is fixed in its new position and seams are sewed along the hair line, so the scars are not visible.
