Hello, this is JW Garden Plastic Surgery. :D

These days, it is the era of self-promotion. Thanks to SNS, as well as personal broadcasts that anyone of any age or gender can become the main subject of content, more and more people are meeting ordinary people of the same age even if they are not celebrities or broadcasters. As a result, many people want to look younger and have a firmer appearance. Because of this, the number of people seeking facial wrinkle lifting has increased, and among them, inquiries and interest in the SMAS facelift, which delivers clear results, are growing day by day.

Until just 5 to 6 years ago, #facelift surgery was usually thought of as a procedure for middle-aged and older adults. But as of 2021, JW Garden Plastic Surgery’s SMAS facelift is receiving inquiries from people across a wide range of ages, starting with people in their 20s.

Some people may think, “Why already at such a young age?” But in fact, the physical aging process begins slowly after age 20, and it usually becomes noticeable in your 40s or 50s. That is why the best way to maintain a youthful appearance is to manage it from the start of aging.

By pulling up sagging, wrinkled skin from the deep muscle layer, the face can be made firmer and more elastic. The muscle layer being lifted at this time is called the SMAS. This facial wrinkle lifting procedure, called an SMAS facelift or SMAS facelift surgery, may sound unfamiliar, but the facelift we already know is a tightening lift that approaches more deeply through the SMAS layer.

The face is made up of the skin layer, subcutaneous fat layer, muscle layer, the space containing retaining ligaments, and the periosteum. A facelift that is effective for facial wrinkle lifting pulls the fascial (SMAS) layer, including the muscle layer beneath the fat layer, and separates the retaining ligaments, allowing for more definite wrinkle improvement and longer-lasting results.

[JW Garden SMAS Facelift Key Points]

ⅰ Scar that is not noticeable

A facelift is a surgery that improves widespread wrinkles and sagging facial contours, and it requires a broad incision area. Because a small incision cannot produce a definite lifting effect, the surgery is performed with a wide incision and deep dissection. JW Garden Plastic Surgery’s SMAS sculpting lift technique uses abundant experience and refined know-how to make incisions from inside the scalp along the inner curve of the ear, leaving scars that are barely noticeable after surgery.

ⅱ Retaining ligament dissection

The face has retaining ligaments that connect the skin and fat to the bone. These retaining ligaments play a role in holding various tissues in place. However, as aging progresses, the retaining ligaments also loosen, causing the skin and fat to sag downward.

During facial wrinkle lifting, the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer must be cut; otherwise, they will simply pull the lifted SMAS layer back downward. However, these retaining ligaments are located deep within the skin, and various nerve pathways are present nearby, making them difficult to cut properly. That is why the medical team’s extensive experience is important.

ⅲ Rolling fixation instead of cutting

Conventional facial wrinkle lifting pulls up the sagging SMAS layer and then cuts away the remaining portion. However, JW Garden’s facelift, the SMAS sculpting lift, does not cut it off; instead, it is rolled and fixed in place. This provides an additional secure fixation effect, allowing the improvement in sagging to last longer. In addition, by placing the rolled portion in the hollow area below the outer cheekbone, it simultaneously creates a volumizing effect.

[When an SMAS Facelift Is Needed]

♡ When you want a strong lifting effect

♡ When the nasolabial folds are pronounced

♡ When the jawline has sagged

♡ When overall facial wrinkles are bothersome

♡ When the facial contour is not smooth

♡ When there are neck wrinkles

♡ When you want long-lasting results

The surgery also takes a relatively long time of 4 to 5 hours, unlike simple procedures such as laser lifting or thread lifting. Therefore, to achieve more effective and satisfying surgical results, it is most important to carefully choose the medical team and find the surgical method that is right for you.

Through extensive experience and know-how, JW Garden Plastic Surgery has developed the existing facial wrinkle lifting SMAS lift into the SMAS sculpting lift, which produces more definite results. This is a facelift technique that requires advanced skill, and even though it is the same SMAS lift, it can produce different results. As the foundation of next-generation lifting, its excellent surgical outcomes have been recognized through numerous academic presentations and society activities.
