[Candidates for facelift] #If you want to improve deep wrinkles across the entire face #If previous lifting procedures didn’t deliver satisfying results #If you want to address the root cause of skin aging #If you want to tighten and lift sagging facial contours [What is the SMAS Layer?] The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is a thin layer of fibrous tissue located between the skin’s fat layer and the underlying facial muscles. Because the SMAS layer is vulnerable to gravity, it gradually loosens over time, contributing to sagging skin and deep wrinkles. In facelift surgery, simply tightening the skin is not enough lifting and securing the SMAS layer is essential to achieve long-lasting, satisfying results. By addressing the root cause of facial aging the SMAS layer we can deliver a much more effective and natural-looking lift.

What is a facelift?

Facelift

As we age, sagging skin and deepening wrinkles can make us look older than we are. A facelift tightens and refines loose skin and wrinkles, setting the scope according to the degree of sagging and your skin condition to aim for a natural contour.

For international patients

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.

QHow long do facelift results last?

AIt depends on the extent and method of the lift and your skin condition, so we explain the expected longevity individually during consultation. Natural aging continues afterward.

QWhere are the scars?

AIncisions follow the hairline and the natural folds around the ear, so the scars stay well hidden.

QAt what age should I consider a facelift?

AThe degree of sagging matters more than age. We assess your skin and tissue condition during consultation.

QHow long do I need to stay in Korea after surgery?

AIt depends on your procedure. For typical double eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty, stitches are removed 7-10 days after surgery, so staying at least about one week is standard.

QI do not speak Korean. Do you provide interpretation services?

AWe are a government-registered medical institution for international patients, with dedicated English-, Chinese-, and Japanese-speaking coordinators on staff. They support smooth communication through every step, from consultation to the operating room and aftercare.

QDo I need a special visa for plastic surgery in Korea?

AFor short stays (usually up to 90 days), citizens of visa-waiver countries can enter Korea without a visa and receive surgery during their stay. The K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is temporarily waived for 22 major countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan, through December 31, 2026 - please check the official K-ETA website for your nationality before departure.

QWill the surgeon I consult with actually perform my surgery? Is there any risk of ghost surgery?

AThe board-certified plastic surgeon who consults with you performs 100% of the surgery. Under Korean law requiring CCTV in operating rooms, our operating room CCTV is in operation to protect your rights as a patient.

QWhen can I fly home after surgery?

ACabin pressure changes can cause swelling or bleeding, so it is medically recommended to fly only after your stitches are removed (7-10 days after surgery). Rhinoplasty can be more sensitive to pressure changes, so it is safest to board after a final check with your surgeon.

QHow can I check that a clinic is safe and verified?

AAn objective indicator is the KAHF mark, the accreditation program designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare for medical institutions serving international patients. You can also verify that the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon on the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons website.
