A Facelift in Seoul with Dr. Ki Yup Kim is a highly individualized surgical procedure that rolls back years of aging to help you achieve smooth, tight, youthful skin and facial features.
Facelift Overview
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A Facelift involves lifting the skin, removing excess, and tightening muscles to enhance facial contours, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin. This creates a smoother, firmer profile and a more defined jawline, effectively reversing signs of aging for a more youthful appearance. Despite common misconceptions, a Rhytidectomy, or Facelift, focuses on the lower face, jawline, and neck. Lifting the entire face would require multiple procedures, including a Lower Facelift, Brow Lift, Eyelid Lift, and possibly a Midface Lift.

Duals : Dual Plane SMAS
The DualS Facelift is a proprietary surgical technique developed by Leaf Plastic Surgery, in which the skin and the SMAS layer are simultaneously lifted in different vectors to address the root causes of facial sagging. After creating a wide skin flap, the SMAS flap is dissected medially beyond the retaining ligaments, allowing for effective improvement of nasolabial folds, marionette lines, midface sagging, and a double chin.

Traditional Facelift
Dr. Kim customizes various facial rejuvenation techniques to meet individual needs and preferences. Typically, the underlying muscles and deeper supportive tissues are vertically elevated, the skin is then redraped, and the excess skin is removed to enhance your overall facial appearance. In order to reposition and tighten, an incision is required. The specific incision length is tailored to address specific corrective needs, and will vary based upon the type of lift being performed. Dr. Kim offers a range of advanced techniques, such as:
– Endoscopic Midface and facelifts
– S-lifts or Minilifts
– Standard or extended SMAS lifts
– Deep Plane Facelifts
Mid Facelift
The Endoscopic Midface Lift is well-suited for individuals experiencing the following:
Sagging cheeks
Hollows beneath the eyelids
Deep nasolabial folds
Increased jowls
This procedure aims to rejuvenate the lower eyelids and cheeks, diminish nasolabial folds, and promote a fuller, more youthful appearance. Dr. Kim utilizes small incisions in the temporal hairline to lift and adjust the midface tissues. To maintain the new position until the structures are securely reattached, an Endotine® absorbable implant is employed. Additionally, the mid-facelift can be combined with an endoscopic brow lift or a face or neck lift to address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
Lower Facelift
A lower facelift targets the rejuvenation of the lower third of the face, encompassing the area from below the ears to beneath the chin. Dr. Kim performs this procedure for patients primarily concerned with:
Jowl laxity
Loose skin along the jawline
Deepening nasolabial folds extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth
Incisions are typically made around the ears, commencing at the temple, behind the tragus and extending around the earlobe behind the ear. In certain instances, an incision under the chin may also be necessary.
Complementary Procedures
Facial implants and fillers
may be used during surgery to restructure your face and create a more defined look. The implants can be inserted into the cheek, jaw, or chin to augment your appearance.
Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, non-ablative skin tightening, and daily strategies
can be incorporated to improve overall skin health.
Facial fat transfer
can fill in dark areas and hollows under the eyes that may not be corrected by a traditional facelift.
