What is id Premium SMAS Lifting?

It is a id Premium SMAS lift procedure developed with id's advanced know-how. By precisely lifting the SMAS layer beneath the skin, it corrects the root cause of sagging and restores a firm, youthful facial line.
With only tiny incisions that are barely visible, you can return to daily life quickly while enjoying a natural and lifted appearance.

POINT 1
Almost scarless! Fast recovery!

id Premium SMAS lifting treatment

Because the incisions are minimal and hidden, there are no visible scars and very little swelling or bruising. The recovery is quick, allowing you to look refreshed in a short time.

POINT 2
Lifting from the SMAS layer

SMAS layer UP!

Unlike simple skin tightening, id's method directly lifts the SMAS layer, the key layer responsible for facial sagging and wrinkles. This provides a longer-lasting and more youthful elasticity from deep within.

What is SMAS layer?

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is a thin layer located between the subcutaneous fat and facial muscles. Because it's sensitive to gravity, it gradually loosens over time - leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. If only the skin is lifted, the SMAS layer remains stretched and sagging soon returns. That's why id's id Premium SMAS Lifting directly tightens and fixes the SMAS layer - the root cause of facial aging - to achieve a longer-lasting and more natural lifting effect.

  • No side effects!

    With id's precise technique and medical-grade materials, the risk of infection or side effects is extremely low. No allergic reactions are caused after the procedure, ensuring safe and reliable results.

    With id's SMAS lifting technique, there are no visible scars or marks after surgery. The result looks completely natural and seamless, as if nothing was done — only fresher and more lifted.

  • Personalized Surgical Design

    Before the procedure, id specialists analyze each patient's skin, aging factors, and facial structure to create a customized lifting plan for the most natural and balanced results.

Patient's skin condition, causes, and other issues will be considered in detail before undergoing surgery.
We make a personalized design that considered the direction, location, and quantities of elastic band.

A

Normally, in case of mini v-line surgery and cheekbone reduction surgery, it is possible to get discharged the same day according to the patient’s condition. However, it is necessary to confirm the state of the patient after waking up from anesthesia and proper disinfection of the surgical area. Admission is preferable. 2 to 3 days after surgery, it is possible to resume normal activities (please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital). Major level of swelling and bruises may last for 3 to 5 weeks, and minor swelling lasts from 3 to 6 months. It is recommended that you wash your mouth frequently with mouthwash after surgery and avoid hot or spicy foods because they may irritate the surgical site. It is also recommended that about two weeks after surgery, you start mouth exercises to widen the jaw, and help the nerves heal faster by using those exercises.

A

Generally, you can be discharged on the same day for cheekbone reduction surgery. In many cases, patients who undergo surgery in the morning can wake up from anesthesia and return home alone in the afternoon. However, when going home, do not bend your head or bow down when sleeping. It is good for decreasing your swelling and pain, and use of a fluffy pillow to support yourself in an upright position is advised. (Please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital.)

A

First of all, it is important to accurately analyze the facial structure before surgery. It is necessary to consult with a clinician who has extensive clinical experience based on X-ray and 3D-CT results. During surgery, tissues are adjusted based on diagnosis, and depending on skin elasticity, an additional lifting procedure may be recommended to lift the tissues together and achieve a natural lifting effect.

A

Facial bones do not grow after the growth period is complete. Cheekbone reduction surgery involves repositioning and fixing the protruding cheekbone inward, so you can be assured that the cheekbone size will not increase again after surgery.

A

In cases where the bone is completely cut during facial contouring surgery, fixation pins are used to securely stabilize skin tissue and muscles, allowing faster and safer healing between bones. This process is commonly applied across facial contouring and lifting-related surgeries. After approximately three months, the bone is fully healed and firmly bonded.

A

Fixation pins are made of medical-grade metal, the same material used for dental implants, and are harmless to the human body. Removal is entirely optional and based on personal preference. They do not interfere with airport security checks, CT scans, or MRI examinations.

A

T-osteotomy is a surgical technique that cuts the chin bone in a T-shape, gathers the resected bone edges, and secures them with titanium pins. This method allows for precise reshaping and can be combined with square jaw reduction surgery to create a smooth, natural V-shaped facial contour.
