Powerful lifting effect to simultaneously resolve facial sagging and wrinkles! Respect Facelift We bring back a beautiful, youthful face that satisfies lifting, wrinkle improvement, and increased elasticity. PROLOGUE A facelift is a surgery that can resolve extensive sagging and wrinkles in the mid and lower face caused by reduced skin elasticity due to aging. By widely dissecting the SMAS fascia layer, which is the root cause of aging, and sequentially pulling the fat layer and skin layer, you can achieve a powerful lifting effect. It is the most fundamental method to significantly improve wrinkles among all types of lifting, maintaining an elastic face and slowing down aging. Surgery time: 2-3 hours Hospitalization: Not required Clinic visits: 2-3 times Anesthesia method: Sedation anesthesia Suture removal: 7 days later Recovery period: 1-2 weeks Results and surgical methods may vary depending on the patient's condition. Why Respect Facelift is special! You can expect highly satisfying lifting effects by addressing the root causes of sagging and wrinkles. Precise diagnosis and surgical planning We establish a precise diagnosis and surgical plan to perform a customized facelift for each individual. Maximizing lifting effect By pulling both the SMAS layer and the skin together, we maximize the lifting effect of the facelift. Beautiful, youthful face Improve sagging and wrinkles to achieve a beautiful, youthful face. Why should lifting be done up to the SMAS layer? Skin sagging does not only affect the skin but also the SMAS layer simultaneously. Generally, as one ages, collagen deficiency and the influence of gravity cause the skin to sag, but it is actually the fat tissue and the SMAS layer inside the skin that sag simultaneously. Therefore, in a facelift, simply lifting the skin will not produce significant effects; lifting up to the SMAS layer simultaneously is necessary to achieve good results. Direction of gravity Skin sagging SMAS layer sagging Deep fat Skeletal structure SMAS Fat Skin SMAS layer What is the SMAS layer? The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer is a very thin fibromuscular layer located at 4.5mm, between the subcutaneous fat layer and the muscle layer, making it difficult to reach with a laser. It envelops the muscles and lies beneath the subcutaneous fat layer, where facial expression muscles, connective tissues, fascia, and blood vessels are located. As the skin sags with aging, the SMAS layer also sags. In addition, lifting only the skin without addressing the SMAS layer reduces the lifting effect and can cause severe scarring or pixie ear. What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift? Facelift Incision from the front of the ear to the back of the ear For those in their 50s and older Improves mid-face, lower face, and neck wrinkles all at once About 2 weeks Incision area Age group Lifting effect Recovery period Mini Facelift Small incision in the temporal area Generally for those in their 30s to 40s Mainly improves nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and mid-face About 1 week (minimized bruising and swelling) Great for those who want a powerful wrinkle improvement effect! 01 | If you want to improve sagging and wrinkles across the entire face 02 | If you want to definitively improve the facial line caused by sagging 03 | If the effects of other lifting procedures are minimal 04 | If you want a definite lifting effect from one surgery 05 | If you want to improve sagging caused by contouring or double jaw surgery It is important to pull the SMAS fascia layer along with the skin to solve overall wrinkles and sagging! By pulling both the SMAS layer and the skin together, we maximize the lifting effect of the facelift. Before surgery Wrinkled and sagging face Incision Make an incision from the front to the back of the ear. Dissection Delicately dissect above and below the SMAS layer. Lifting and excess skin excision Lift the SMAS layer and excise the remaining skin. Suturing and dressing of incision site Carefully and delicately suture the incision site. After surgery The overall sagging and wrinkles of the face are improved. Improve the cause of wrinkles for a youthful face with elasticity! Fundamental improvement of wrinkles Elastic face Semi-permanent effect Facial reduction effect Postoperative complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation are common and can vary among individuals, so caution is necessary.
