What is
a SMAS Facelift?

Many people undergo multiple sessions of lifting procedures like laser
treatments or thread lifts but often do not achieve satisfactory results.
These individuals might consider a "mini facelift" or a "full facelift."
A facelift involves making incisions around the ears to separate and lift
the sagging and wrinkled skin, giving a youthful appearance.
This procedure is also known as a "rejuvenation surgery"
and offers the most definitive results among various lifting procedures.

Geunal SMAS Facelift Before&After

Geunal Facelift Technique

We perform customized lifting surgeries based on the skin elasticity and degree of sagging of individual.
Step 1

Based on the hairline individual,
incisions are made from the front or back
of the ear to the back hairline,
then the wrinkled areas are separated.

Step 2

The sagging SMAS layer, skin,
and fat layers are pulled
in different directions,
and the excess skin is removed.

Step 3

The pulled skin
and SMAS layer are securely fixed,
and the incisions are sutured
as they were.

Geunal SMAS Facelift Features,
Capturing both volume and elasticity

01

Manipulating the SMAS Layer

After manipulating the SMAS layer beneath the skin above it
needs to be repositioned. Facial aging can be caused
by a loss of skin elasticity, which leads to fine wrinkles. However, deeper
wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and neck wrinkles are
caused by the sagging of the fat layer within the SMAS.

02

Proper Incision Method

Unlike the traditional straight-line incision method,
incisions should be made along the contours of the ear
to minimize the visibility of scars.

03

Minimizing Incision Scars

1 Large scars from improper SMAS manipulation
2 Scars are barely visible with proper SMAS manipulation

What's the SMAS Layer?

The SMAS layer is the layer between the skin and muscles.
Traditional methods that only pull the skin can cause scars and deformation of the ear shape.
To achieve effective lifting, the SMAS layer, which is the root cause of facial sagging, must be properly lifted.

Consistent Academic Activities and Presentations

Having encountered many challenging revision surgeries and anti-aging plastic surgery cases,
I am constantly studying and conducting research in the field of plastic surgery.
Through regular academic presentations, I aim to bring not only aesthetic and functional improvements
but also to instill confidence in patients and enhance their mindset, ultimately delivering aesthetic beauty.
