What is Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift (안면거상술) is a surgical anti-aging procedure designed to reposition sagging facial structures by lifting deeper layers of tissue, including the SMAS layer and retaining ligaments. Unlike superficial skin-lifting procedures, this technique targets both skin and underlying muscle laxity to restore natural facial contours, reduce deep wrinkles, and tighten loose skin around the cheeks, jowls, chin, and jawline. This approach provides a more stable and natural-looking result without an overly tight or artificial appearance.

This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing moderate to severe facial sagging, deep wrinkles, volume descent, or visible jowls that cannot be corrected with non-surgical lifting or thread-based treatments. Patients with skin elasticity loss due to aging, previous lifting procedures with minimal improvement, or localized fat accumulation around the jawline or chin region may greatly benefit. It is especially suitable for those seeking long-lasting, natural, and dramatic facial rejuvenation.
