Non-incision facelift
This non-invasive procedure is excellent for those who begin to notice mild to moderate signs of aging. This procedure is also commonly known as mini lift as it uses minimal thin incisions (if necessary). With no incision or small incision, strong threads such as elasticum or suchlike are used to lift the SMAS layer, droopy tissue, and saggy skin on the middle and lower part of the face. The biggest benefit of this method is that the incisions (if any) can be easily hidden and covered by hair. Another benefit of this customized lifting procedure is less discomfort, less pain, fast recovery, and improved skin elasticity. Docfinderkorea’s anti-aging specialist will help you to attain desired lifting result while maintaining natural facial expression.
What will get improved if I have non-incision facelift surgery?
SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer is a very thin muscle layer that covers all surfaces of the face and transmits the movement of facial muscles to the skin. SMAS layer is sensitive to gravity, therefore, it creates wrinkles and causes saggy skin as time goes by. If only the skin layer is lifted, then signs of aging will be visible again due to the SMAS layer. In order to obtain a stronger lifting effect, it is important to not only lift the skin but also improve the SMAS layer.
Possible incision location
Depending on the case, if necessary, a small and thin incision might be made behind the hairline (on the temporal area), behind the ears, etc. Accurate diagnosis, surgery plan, and incision plan will be made by our board-certified specialist after physical assessment.
