SMAS Lifting in Gangnam, Seoul


Achieve Structured Lifting by Targeting the SMAS Layer


SMAS lifting focuses on stimulating the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), the deep layer responsible for facial structure and firmness. This treatment—often performed using HIFU or advanced RF devices—lifts sagging cheeks, redefines jawlines, and tightens neck skin by delivering energy directly to the foundation beneath the skin. With results comparable to surgical facelifts (but no cuts or downtime), SMAS lifting is ideal for those seeking strong, long-lasting lift with a natural finish.

What Is SMAS Lifting?

SMAS lifting targets the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System, a foundational support layer underneath the skin responsible for facial firmness and contour. By tightening this deep plane, SMAS lifting effectively improves sagging, restores definition, and delivers long-lasting facial rejuvenation.


The Treatment Experience in Seoul


1. Layer-Focused Consultation

Your specialist evaluates the degree of sagging at the SMAS layer and recommends the most suitable method—Ultrasound, RF-based SMAS tightening, or surgical lifting—based on anatomical needs and desired results.


2. Direct SMAS Layer Treatment

Energy-based or surgical techniques are applied specifically to the SMAS layer. Ultrasound or RF devices precisely heat and contract the deep tissue, while surgical SMAS lifting repositions the deeper structures for more dramatic correction.


3. Mild Post-Treatment Reactions

Temporary redness, tightness, or tenderness may occur, especially after energy-based treatments. Most patients resume daily activities immediately, while surgical SMAS lifting requires a short recovery period.


Results and Maintenance

Collagen remodeling progresses over 4–6 weeks, with visible lifting and tightening becoming more pronounced at 2–3 months. Depending on the technique, results may last 12–24 months, and surgical SMAS lifting can maintain effects for several years.


Cost in Seoul

SMAS lifting ranges widely depending on the method:

  • Non-surgical (HIFU/RF): ₩1,000,000–₩3,000,000
  • Surgical SMAS Lifting: ₩7,000,000–₩18,000,000+ depending on scope and surgeon expertise
