If You’re Looking for a Good Place for Smile Lifting

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic.

When aging begins, skin sags and wrinkles appear regardless of my own will.

Because of this, a different impression can appear compared with one’s younger years.

As the overall facial skin sags downward due to gravity, the face may come to look sleepy or angry.

Today, I’ll introduce Smile Lifting, a shortcut to a more youthful appearance.

What is Smile Lifting?

Smile lifting is a method that focuses on lifting the midface and helps improve wrinkles around the eyes and nasolabial folds.

Because the incision area is small, the procedure time is relatively short, so it can also be helpful for people with limited time.

You can return to daily life immediately after surgery, which is why it has recently been drawing a lot of attention as a lifting method.

How is the procedure performed?

After making a diagonal incision of about 2 cm near the sideburn area, the surgeon lifts multiple layers, including the fascial layer.

The extent of skin dissection during that process may vary depending on the individual, and if needed, other procedures may be performed together.

Conventional mini lifting is performed by making a straight incision and pulling upward, so its improvement effect was larger mainly along the jawline. In contrast, smile lifting can also improve nasolabial folds, eye-area wrinkles, and the front cheekbone area.

The surgery time is short, at about less than one hour, and the recovery period is also brief enough that you can wash your hair the next day.

Expected effects

For younger age groups whose wrinkles are not yet deeply set but who want to prevent them in advance, relatively simple procedures or injections may be enough to expect improvement.

If the wrinkles are already deep and the degree of sagging is enough to affect your overall appearance, simple procedures alone may not provide sufficient results.

In such cases, smile lifting can offer a clear sense of firmness not only along the jawline but also across the overall sagging and wrinkles of the face.

Who is it recommended for?

Since this is a procedure that can help improve overall elasticity in the midface, it may be helpful for those who want an overall facial lifting effect.

It can also help people who are concerned that sagging skin around the mouth makes them look sad or angry by changing their usual expression.

And because the incision is made near the sideburn area, the scar is not visible and it is also recommended for those who want a natural change and those who want to see the effect right after surgery.

The importance of aftercare

Even with simple procedures or injections, everyone’s skin condition is different, so a careful check should be done before treatment.

In the case of smile lifting, which involves incision and dissection, the detailed examination and skill of the medical team are even more important.

Also, excessive dissection and pulling of the skin can instead cause inflammation or necrosis at the suture site.

At our clinic, experienced medical staff perform surgery carefully, and we also take responsibility for aftercare to help with scar management and recovery.
