A Leading Expert in Facelift Surgery in Korea
Over 23 Years of Expertise in Wrinkle Improvement Surgery

SAERO, with over 23 years of clinical experience in facelift surgery, pursues safe procedures with highly satisfying results.
For a natural and firm lifting effect, it is crucial to effectively lift the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer.
Since this layer is located beneath the skin and intertwined with various nerves and retaining ligaments, a delicate approach is essential.
Rather than simply pulling the skin, the key technique involves precisely separating the SMAS layer and lifting it safely in an upward direction.
This method not only protects important anatomical structures but also ensures a noticeable and long-lasting lifting effect.

What is SMAS Facelift Surgery?

Unlike conventional lifting techniques that only tighten the skin surface,
SMAS facelift surgery is an advanced lifting procedure that fundamentally addresses facial sagging.

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is a fibrous layer located between the facial muscles and fat.
As we age, this structure stretches, leading to wrinkles and sagging cheeks.

SMAS facelift surgery directly lifts this fascial layer,
providing not just surface-level improvement but restoring deep facial elasticity for long-lasting results.

Features of SMAS Lifting

✔ Stronger lifting effect by directly pulling the fascial layer
✔ Improves sagging skin, drooping cheeks, and loss of jawline definition
✔ Delivers natural-looking results with long-lasting effects
✔ Customized surgery tailored to each individual’s facial structure

Since the SMAS layer is located near dense networks of nerves and blood vessels,
a high level of anatomical expertise and precision is required for this procedure.
At SAERO Plastic Surgery, we leverage extensive clinical experience and high-definition
endoscopic equipment to delicately separate and lift the SMAS layer,
ensuring safe and effective results.

Precision Dissection Considering Retaining Ligaments

What are Retaining Ligaments?

Retaining ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect the skin layer to the dermis,
subcutaneous fat, fascia, and muscle layers.
They play a crucial role in supporting the skin and preventing sagging.
During a facelift procedure, if only the SMAS (fascia) layer is lifted without carefully addressing the retaining ligaments beneath,
the underlying tissues may not be effectively elevated, reducing the overall lifting effect.
Therefore, it is essential to delicately separate and identify the retaining ligaments before lifting the overlying fascia layer together.
This technique ensures a natural, long-lasting lifting effect with optimal results.

Precision SMAS Facelift with FULL HD Endoscopy

At SAERO Plastic Surgery, we utilize premium endoscopic equipment to perform highly precise and safe SMAS facelifts.
By using high-resolution endoscopy, we can directly visualize nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, ensuring minimal tissue damage
and precise dissection throughout the procedure.
With HD endoscopic-assisted surgery, the incisions are made using a minimally invasive approach,
resulting in barely visible scars. This technique allows for faster recovery,
easier return to daily activities, and significantly reduced risks of complications or bleeding after surgery.
