Not pulling, we restore the structure
A facelift is a structural lifting surgery that analyzes sagging tissue, lower-face heaviness, and jawline/neckline changes together to reposition the SMAS layer.
When Lifting Isn't Enough
If non-surgical feels insufficient
Jowls and lower-face heaviness, marionette lines, a blurred jawline, a lax neckline — when sagging is advanced, support/elasticity reinforcement alone may fall short.
If sagging has deepened the structure must be seen
Sagging Analysis
We first analyze where and how much has sagged
Mid-face descent
When the cheeks descend, the front grows heavy, and the nasolabial folds deepen
Jowls · blurred jawline
When sagging bunches along the mandible and the jawline contour blurs
Mouth corners · marionette
When the mouth corners drop and the lower face looks tired
Neckline laxity
When the neck sags and the face–neck transition becomes blunt
How It Works
We reposition the structure, not the skin
It's structural repositioning of the SMAS layer, not skin pulling
Lower-face · neckline analysis
We analyze the depth of sagging, skin elasticity, and jawline/neckline changes together.
SMAS-layer approach
We approach not only the skin but the SMAS-layer structure beneath it.
Structural repositioning
Rather than pulling, we reposition the sagging tissue back into place.
An overcorrection-free finish
We adjust so that tension is not excessively applied to the skin, for a natural finish.
Where It Fits
Thread lift and facelift, we first judge the boundary
Thread lift
Approached as support/elasticity reinforcement when sagging is mild
Energy-based procedure
When elasticity/contour support is the main goal
Facelift
When sagging is advanced and structural repositioning is needed
NB Design Principles
Keeping my facial identity, without overcorrection
01
Repositioning, not pulling
Pulling only the skin becomes unnatural. We reposition the SMAS-layer structure to aim for a result that doesn't look pulled.
02
Overcorrection prevention
We aim for a natural improvement that keeps your original facial identity, not an over-pulled impression.
03
Integrated lower-face–neckline design
We consider not only the face but the line running from face to neck, designing the overall balance.
Consultation First
We analyze precisely, starting from the depth of sagging
depth of sagging, skin elasticity, neckline contourand lower-face balance, we analyze to judge whether you are at a stage suited to a facelift. As a principle, we design as much structural correction as needed, not an excessive surgery.
After the Lift
Not a pulled face, but a refined impression
We aim for a result where the lower face and neckline are refined naturally, not an over-pulled impression. Results, duration, and recovery may vary from person to person.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from a thread lift?
A thread lift supports and reinforces tissue when sagging is mild. A facelift is a surgical method that repositions the SMAS-layer structure when sagging is advanced — the indications themselves differ.
Is it a surgery that pulls the skin?
It is the concept of repositioning the SMAS layer beneath the skin, not simply pulling the skin. We adjust so excessive tension isn't applied to the skin, considering naturalness and scar burden together.
Won't the result look unnatural?
We design to avoid overcorrection and keep your original facial identity. That said, results and recovery vary with your individual tissue condition.
How long does it last?
Because it corrects the structure, longer-lasting results than non-surgical approaches can be expected; however, duration varies from person to person and is not uniformly guaranteed.
What about recovery and swelling?
As it is an incisional surgery, a certain period of recovery with swelling/bruising may accompany it. Recovery speed and degree vary from person to person, and we explain them in detail during consultation.
In what cases is a consultation needed?
When it's hard to judge on your own whether a thread lift or energy-based procedure is sufficient, or whether you are at a stage needing structural lifting, it's good to first confirm the indication through consultation.
