Facelift surgery in Seoul, Korea
Facelift surgery in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: board-certified surgeons lift sagging cheeks, jowls and jawline with structured aftercare.
Typical ranges for facelift surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is surgery that lifts and repositions sagging facial skin and the deeper SMAS layer to restore definition to the cheeks, jowls and jawline. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a full-time anesthesiologist on site.
Unlike thread lifts or fillers, a facelift removes excess skin and tightens the supporting tissue underneath, so the result is longer lasting. Incisions are placed along the hairline and around the ear, where they are easiest to conceal. Marble also offers mini facelift, Endotine midface lift and endoscopic forehead lift, so the plan can match the area and degree of sagging.
Who is a facelift for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Sagging cheeks, jowls or a jawline that has lost definition
- Deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines that fillers no longer improve
- Loose skin on the lower face and upper neck
- Good general health and realistic expectations about what surgery can change
How a facelift is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon examines skin laxity, facial volume and bone structure, explains which type of lift fits, and marks the incision lines with you.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Lifting the deeper layer Through incisions hidden along the hairline and ear, the SMAS layer is lifted and secured, then excess skin is trimmed without tension.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling and bruising are most visible in the first two weeks and settle gradually over the following months. Stitches are usually removed within 7–14 days.
- Regenerative laser after surgery and in weeks 1–2
- 1:1 progress checks with your surgeon
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
How long do facelift results last?
A surgical facelift does not stop aging, but because it repositions the deeper SMAS layer and removes excess skin, results typically last for many years. How long depends on skin quality, lifestyle and the technique used.
What is the difference between a full facelift and a mini facelift?
A mini facelift uses shorter incisions and addresses mild sagging in the lower face, with a shorter recovery. A full facelift treats moderate to advanced sagging of the cheeks, jowls and jawline. Your surgeon recommends one after examining you.
How long should I stay in Seoul after a facelift?
Plan for about 10 to 14 days so stitches can be removed and your surgeon can check healing before you fly. Marble schedules regenerative laser care after surgery and in weeks 1–2.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
