Face Lift

The Most Certain Way to Regain Youth 
Tighten the Entire Skin, Permanently Restore a Youthful Appearance












FACE LIFT


A face lift is a treatment designed to restore natural firmness and refined facial contours by repositioning the skin, fat, and underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layers that naturally descend with age to their original positions.

This approach addresses age-related facial changes across different layers, such as softening of the jawline and sagging in the cheeks, and is carefully adapted to each person’s unique facial structure. Both surgical options, including SMAS, neck, and brow lifts, and non-surgical treatments such as fat modulation and regenerative therapies may be considered.

Rather than creating an over-tightened appearance, the focus is on three-dimensional structural restoration, helping patients achieve a natural, balanced, and youthful look.

Explained by a Specialist


The decision to consider a face lift is not based solely on visible sagging, but on the moment when facial changes begin to affect how you feel in everyday life. When your reflection seems unfamiliar, when others frequently remark that you look tired, or when photographs reveal a softening of the jawline or cheeks, these may be signs that age-related changes are becoming more evident.


What matters most is gaining a clear understanding of the specific changes taking place in your own face. As each patient differs in skin thickness, fat distribution, muscle and fascial strength, and lifestyle, there is no single approach that suits everyone. During consultation, we carefully explain your current facial structure, how it is likely to change over time, and propose the most natural and balanced options for improvement.












We believe the purpose of a face lift is not to create a “younger” face, but to restore “harmony with your original features“. Identifying the approach that is truly right for you begins with an accurate and thoughtful assessment.

WOOA’s Brings Out 
Natural Youthfulness

Guaranteed Results

Since the type of lifting should vary depending on age and the condition of skin aging, we recommend a facelift for older individuals to effectively lift and tighten the sagging skin and fascia, ensuring noticeable results.

Natural Expression

To avoid an overly tight, unnatural look, WOOA enhances your natural features by tightening the skin while preserving facial expressions and movements.

Quick Recovery With Minimal Incision

With fewer incisions, the recovery time is also shorter. WOOA's lifting surgery makes incisions in the crease near the front of the ear and behind the ear where it meets the neck, ensuring that scars are not visible and swelling is minimal, resulting in a short recovery period.


Recommended for

✓ Those concerned about deep wrinkles on their face.


✓ Those who appear older due to sagging or loose skin.


✓ Those seeking definite and long-lasting surgical results.


✓ Those who haven't seen results with simple treatments.


✓ Those who experience skin sagging after contour surgery or double jaw surgery.


✓ WOOA's expertise brings out your natural beauty and youth.

SMAS LIFT

SMAS Targets Deep Wrinkles and Severe Sagging

SMAS lifting is a method that lifts the fascia of the skin, allowing for permanent wrinkle improvement. It is the most effective anti-aging solution for improving deep wrinkles, severe sagging, and overall signs of facial aging that cannot be effectively treated by fillers, Botox, thread lifting, or laser treatments.

Neck Lift

The Secret to Looking Younger
Than Your Age

The neck has thin skin and a lot of movement, making wrinkles appear easily, revealing the true age of the body. WooA's neck lift addresses the fundamental causes of aging by lifting the fascia, fat, and dermal layers in three layers, tailored to the severity of neck wrinkles for each age group. This procedure effectively resolves both the causes of skin sagging and provides lifting in one treatment.

Please read carefully and check the information below.

Follow-up Appointments

Post-operative follow-up appointments are essential. Please ensure that you attend the clinic according to the scheduled timetable.


Washing & Hygiene

Before your stitches are removed, you may gently rinse your face with water, taking care to avoid the surgical area. You may also wash your hair using water only. (You may resume using facial cleansers and put make-up the day after stitch removal.)

Special Notes

If you notice any unusual changes or concerns in the surgical area, please contact the clinic.

Post-operative Care & Important Notes

1. Swelling and recovery times vary between patients. Temporary asymmetry may occur due to differences

    in swelling on either side of the face.


2. If you experience sudden or severe swelling, persistent bleeding, or unexpected bruising,

    please contact the clinic immediately or come in for a review.


3. Any bandages or tape applied to the forehead must remain in place until removed by clinic staff.


4. Swelling and bruising are usually most pronounced during the first 48 hours, gradually improving over 3–6 weeks.


5. Tightness or a numb sensation in the face is normal and may continue for up to six months.


6. Normal eating is allowed, but minimise facial movement to lower the risk of swelling or haematoma.


7. Take all prescribed medications as instructed. Avoid aspirin-containing medications

    for one week after surgery, as these can increase bleeding risk.


8. After upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), avoid rubbing your eyes, tightly closing your eyelids, or excessive tearing.



⚠ Failure to follow post-operative care instructions may lead to bleeding, infection, or inflammation.



FAQ

A face lift is well suited to individuals experiencing noticeable sagging in the lower face, including descent of the cheeks, reduced definition along the jawline, or a less distinct separation between the jaw and neck. When ageing affects not only the skin but also the deeper supporting structures such as the SMAS layer and ligaments, surgical lifting may provide the most effective correction.

Most patients are able to resume normal daily activities within approximately 7-10 days. Bruising and Swelling typically subside gradually over 2 to 4 weeks, although this varies between individuals. The facial tissues continue to stabilise over time, with the final result becoming apparent at around 3 months.

Surgical incisions are carefully placed in natural creases around the ears and along the hairline to ensure minimal visibility. While healing differs from person to person, any resulting scars generally soften and become less noticeable once recovery is complete.

The repositioned deeper tissues, including the SMAS layer, are intended to provide durable results, often lasting 5 to 10 years or longer. As the natural ageing process continues, the longevity of results may vary according to skin quality, lifestyle, and individual factors.

A face lift corrects sagging at its source by repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face, rather than addressing the surface alone.

Non-surgical treatments such as thread lifting or liposuction can be effective for mild laxity or specific areas of concern, but in cases of moderate to advanced sagging, a face lift offers more comprehensive and longer-lasting improvement.
