Full Facelift in Gangnam –
Comprehensive Surgical Rejuvenation for Lasting Youthful Contour

A Full Facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift, tighten, and reposition facial tissues that have descended due to aging. Unlike non-surgical treatments, a Full Facelift addresses the deep layers of the face and neck, restoring definition to the jawline, smoothing deep wrinkles, and reversing sagging in a long-lasting and natural-looking way. In Gangnam’s world-renowned plastic surgery clinics, this procedure is performed by board-certified facial specialists who combine surgical precision with aesthetic artistry for rejuvenation that enhances—not alters—your unique features.


πŸ”Ή What Is a Full Facelift?

A Full Facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, is a comprehensive facial surgery that lifts the mid-face, lower face, and neck by repositioning underlying muscles (SMAS layer), removing excess skin, and restoring youthful contours. The procedure goes beyond skin tightening—it restructures the foundation of the face for long-term correction of sagging, with incisions discreetly hidden around the ears or hairline. It can be combined with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or neck lift for full facial harmony.


πŸ”Ή What Concerns Can It Address?

A Full Facelift is ideal for those experiencing:

  • Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Jowls and sagging along the jawline
  • Loose neck skin or "turkey neck"
  • Flattened cheeks or midface descent
  • General facial sagging due to age-related volume loss

It’s recommended for patients seeking dramatic, lasting improvement in facial laxity and aging signs.


πŸ”Ή How Does It Work?

The surgeon makes carefully placed incisions—typically hidden in the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin. Through these incisions:

  • The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer is lifted and repositioned
  • Excess skin is removed without over-tightening
  • Fat may be redistributed or added for volume
  • The neck may be contoured through muscle tightening (platysmaplasty)

The result is a refreshed and natural look, not a pulled or artificial appearance.


πŸ”Ή Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for a Full Facelift if:

  • You are generally healthy and in your 40s to 70s
  • You have moderate to severe facial sagging or neck laxity
  • You want a long-term solution rather than temporary lifts
  • You understand the procedure, downtime, and expected results
  • You are not satisfied with the effectiveness of non-surgical options

A personal consultation is essential to evaluate facial structure and treatment goals.


πŸ”Ή What Is the Procedure Like?

  • Duration: 3 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of correction
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or deep sedation
  • Hospital Stay: Typically same-day discharge or 1 overnight stay
  • Additional Options: May be combined with neck lift, brow lift, or facial fat grafting


πŸ”Ή Post-Treatment & Downtime

Initial swelling and bruising last 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients returning to social activities by week 3 or 4. Bandages are usually removed after a few days, and sutures within 7–10 days. Full healing and final results become apparent over 2 to 3 months. Scars fade significantly over time and are well concealed.


πŸ”Ή When Will I See Results?

Early results are visible within 2 to 3 weeks, with full tightening and reshaping evident by 8 to 12 weeks. Results typically last 10 years or more, depending on genetics, lifestyle, and skincare maintenance.
