Signature procedure

Can you look young just by pulling the skin?

Not for long. Ageing loosens the retaining ligaments that hold skin and fat in place, so cheeks drop into nasolabial folds, jowls and a double chin. Grand’s Deep Plane Facelift corrects the ligaments, the SMAS layer and the skin at the same time — treating the cause, not just the surface.

Surgery time About 4 hours
Anesthesia General
Hospital stay Same-day discharge
Stitch removal 1–2 weeks
Retaining ligaments of the face
step 01

Release the ligaments

Loose ligaments around the cheekbone, masseter and chin are corrected so tissue can stay in its original place.

SMAS layer lifting
step 02

Lift the SMAS layer

The muscle layer is lifted firmly upward, preventing surrounding facial tissue from slackening again.

Skin redraping after facelift
step 03

Re-drape the skin

Skin is smoothed over the new foundation for a fresher, younger-looking face with natural expression.

Why Grand’s deep plane

Five reasons patients fly to Seoul for this lift

01

Face & neck, one surgery

Sagging, wrinkles and even deep neck lines are improved in a single procedure.

02

A V-line bonus

Cheeks, under-chin and neck tighten for a slim contour often compared to jaw surgery.

03

Natural expression

Volume and contour are restored in 3D, so your face still moves like yours.

04

Long-lasting

Fixing the SMAS layer gives a durable anti-ageing effect, not a short-term pull.

05

Custom design

Planned around your facial proportions and the degree of sagging and wrinkles.
