What Is Dr. Chung’s Facelift?
As we age, facial wrinkles and sagging do not occur merely on the surface of the skin.
They result from aging-related weakening of the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system)
and the retaining ligaments beneath the skin.
A facelift precisely addresses these underlying causes of aging,
reconstructing the collapsed facial framework and providing a truly rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
Through the expertise of Retmus Plastic Surgery’s skilled medical team,
we deliver youthful results that are firm, harmonious, and never artificial.

Deep Plane Facelift Surgical Method
Retmus’s deep plane facelift lifts the SMAS layer as one unified structure while preserving the skin, creating a naturally refined facial contour.
A skilled specialist performs the procedure safely with precise diagnosis and meticulous surgical technique.
- Method 01
- Design & Customized Incision
The incision line is designed according to each individual’s facial structure, and the incision is made along the planned line.
- Method 02
- Dissection & Lifting
While protecting the sideburn area, the SMAS layer is dissected and then anchored to the periosteum together with the overlying skin.
- Method 03
- Deep Plane Technique
The skin and SMAS layer are lifted together as a single unit.This provides powerful and long-lasting lifting effects, with minimal subcutaneous dissection, allowing faster recovery.
- Method 04
- Skin Repositioning & Closure
Excess skin is trimmed, lifted, and secured, followed by suturing that minimizes visible scarring.

What Is the SMAS Layer in Facelift Surgery?
What Is the SMAS Layer Beneath the Skin?
The SMAS layer is a thin muscular layer located just beneath the skin.
As we age, it sags along with the overlying skin.
Lifting the skin alone provides only limited results.
By precisely lifting the SMAS layer—the root cause of sagging—together
with the skin, a powerful dual-layer lifting effect can be achieved,
delivering long-lasting results.
At Retmus Plastic Surgery, we meticulously lift the SMAS layer,
creating strong yet natural rejuvenation that harmonizes
with each patient’s unique facial structure.
