Why Is SMAS Facelift Drawing Attention from People in Their 40s and 50s These Days?

Hello, this is Marble Plastic Surgery Clinic ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Today, we’d like to share information about the SMAS facelift, a surgery that can help you regain the youthful look and facial line you had 10 years ago with just one procedure!

Aging that comes with the passage of time is a natural phenomenon,

but when the jawline loses firmness and becomes blurred, and wrinkles appear,

there are limits to managing them with lifting procedures or functional cosmetics alone!

In cases like this, what you need is the SMAS facelift💎

What is the SMAS layer?

The thin fascial layer (SMAS layer) directly beneath the skin

supports the facial expression muscles and skin,

and is a key structure that determines the face’s contours and elasticity.

What is a SMAS facelift?

While general non-surgical lifting procedures or facelift surgeries

temporarily pull only the skin layer for a short-term effect,

a SMAS facelift, which involves making an incision in the SMAS layer itself,

lifting it upward, and fixing it in place,

offers the effect of repositioning the entire facial structure!

When the skin and fascial layer are lifted and fixed at the same time,

you can feel a more fundamental improvement and a longer-lasting effect,

which is why more customers in their 40s to 50s, and even older, have recently been visiting Marble :)

Recommended candidates for a SMAS facelift

✔ Those whose jawline has collapsed due to loss of elasticity and whose face shape has become less defined

✔ Those who want to fundamentally improve wrinkles across the entire face

✔ Those who were disappointed with the results even after multiple thread lifts or lifting lasers

✔ Those who hope for long-lasting results from a single surgery

How is the procedure performed?

1️⃣ Customized design & incision

• Analyze the degree of sagging, wrinkle locations, jawline condition, and more

• Make an incision along the area in front of and behind the ears and the hairline (not easily visible)

2️⃣ Skin dissection and SMAS layer separation

• After dissecting the skin layer, pull the loosened SMAS layer upward and reposition it

3️⃣ Fixation and finishing

• Secure the lifted SMAS layer with special sutures

Expected effects of a SMAS facelift

✔ Improve sagging cheeks and define the jawline → Restore a sharp V-line

✔ Improve neck wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and mouth-area wrinkles → A more youthful appearance

✔ Reset the overall facial line → Restore a clearer impression

✔ Long-term effect maintained after a single surgery (5 to 10 years or more) → Semi-permanent duration

Recovery time varies by individual, but swelling and bruising generally improve after about 1 to 2 weeks,

and from one month onward, scar healing and sensation recovery gradually stabilize, allowing a quicker return to daily life.

In addition, at Marble Plastic Surgery Clinic, the minimally invasive method makes the scars difficult to see :)

Because this is a high-difficulty procedure, if performed incorrectly, side effects such as unnatural facial expressions, nerve damage, and asymmetry

may occur, so consultation with an experienced medical professional is essential.
