About This Treatment

Facelift in Korea is surgery intended to reposition selected facial tissues and address sagging around the cheeks, jawline and lower face.

Surgical approaches include SMAS, deep-plane and mini facelift techniques. These differ in tissue dissection, incision planning and the areas treated. The appropriate method depends on facial anatomy, degree of laxity and surgical assessment. Not every technique is available at every clinic.

A facelift is different from non-surgical tightening or a thread lift.

Read the Korean Face Lift Guide for detailed comparisons, explore Plastic Surgery in Korea, or enquire through Fornur.

Benefits

  • May improve selected facial sagging and jowls
  • Can refine lower-face and jawline contours
  • May reposition deeper facial tissues when appropriate
  • Surgical techniques can be tailored to individual anatomy

Before Your Treatment

Discuss facial sagging, jowls and your desired improvements. Disclose previous facial procedures, medical conditions, medicines and allergies. Confirm the surgical technique, incisions and anaesthesia plan. Ask about scarring, recovery, risks and realistic results. Confirm the total cost, postoperative reviews and travel timing.

Aftercare

Follow the surgeon's instructions for wound care and medication. Keep your head elevated as advised during early recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise until cleared by the surgical team. Attend scheduled reviews and suture-removal appointments. Seek urgent medical advice for severe pain, sudden swelling or unexpected symptoms.

Important Notes

Facelift surgery carries risks including bleeding, infection, visible scarring, prolonged swelling, asymmetry, altered sensation and poor wound healing. Rare but serious complications include facial nerve injury and skin loss. Mini, SMAS and deep-plane facelifts use different surgical approaches and should not be considered interchangeable. Results depend on technique, anatomy and healing. A facelift cannot stop ageing or guarantee a specific appearance. Suitability and surgical planning require assessment by a qualified surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions

A facelift is surgery that repositions selected facial tissues to address concerns such as sagging cheeks, jowls and reduced lower-face definition. The surgical approach depends on anatomy and treatment goals.
A mini facelift usually focuses on more limited facial laxity through a shorter-incision approach. A deep-plane facelift involves dissection and repositioning of deeper facial tissues. The procedures differ in scope, complexity and suitability.
Swelling and bruising commonly last around two to three weeks, although recovery varies. Residual swelling, tightness and scar changes may continue for several months.
Pricing depends on the surgical technique, surgeon, facility, anaesthesia and aftercare. Request an itemised quotation for the exact proposed operation.
They are different procedures. A surgical facelift can reposition deeper tissues and address more substantial sagging. A thread lift uses placed threads for more limited lifting. Neither is appropriate for everyone, and a clinician should assess the treatment goals.
