What Is Dr. Chung’s Mini Facelift?

The mini facelift is a scaled-down version of a full facelift.
With minimal incisions made only in front of the ears,
it lifts the face to reduce recovery burden while still providing a powerful lifting effect.

It improves nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and sagging cheeks,
creating a firmer and more sculpted facial contour.

Retmus 3 POINTS!

Customized Design — Precise analysis of individual facial structure and degree of sagging

Delicate Incision & Dissection — Minimizes unnecessary tissue damage

What Is the SMAS Layer in Facelift Surgery?

리트머스성형외과 안면거상 SMAS층 이미지

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.
