Lower Facelift in Seoul, Korea | Grand Plastic Surgery


A Lower Facelift is one of the most requested facial rejuvenation procedures at Grand Plastic Surgery in Seoul, designed to lift and tighten the lower third of the face. This targeted approach improves sagging cheeks, jowls, smile-line heaviness, and jawline laxity—creating a cleaner, firmer, more youthful lower-face profile.

This procedure is ideal for patients who want visible improvement in the lower face without undergoing a full facelift.

What Is a Lower Facelift?

A lower facelift focuses on the areas most affected by early to moderate aging:

  • Jowls forming along the jawline
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Deepening nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Drooping corners of the mouth
  • Blurred jawline contour

Instead of tightening only the skin, a lower facelift lifts the SMAS layer—the deeper architecture responsible for facial sagging—resulting in a natural, long-lasting lift.

Lower Facelift at Grand Plastic Surgery

Grand Plastic Surgery is known for refined facial lifting techniques that create elegant, natural results without the “pulled” look. Their lower facelift approach emphasizes structural repositioning of deeper tissues for a youthful lower face that blends smoothly with the midface and neck.

Common goals include:

  • Sharper jawline definition
  • Reduction of sagging around the mouth
  • Softer smile lines and marionette lines
  • Lifted lower cheek contours
  • A more youthful and balanced facial shape
  • Natural expression with no distortion

The lift is targeted but significant, creating a noticeable yet natural improvement.

How the Lower Facelift Works

While each surgical plan is individualized, a Grand Plastic Surgery lower facelift generally includes:

1. Incisions Along the Ear and Hairline

Placed discreetly within natural creases for minimal visibility.

2. SMAS Layer Tightening and Repositioning

Deep tissues are lifted upward and inward to correct sagging at the root.

3. Jowl Reduction and Jawline Sculpting

Restores clean definition along the jawline.

4. Cheek Support and Lower-Face Elevation

The lower cheek area is lifted to improve sagging around the mouth.

5. Skin Redraping Without Pulling

Skin is gently smoothed over the lifted structure, preventing tightness or unnatural contours.

This technique gives a youthful, refreshed look while maintaining facial identity.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A lower facelift is ideal for individuals who have:

  • Visible jowls
  • Sagging along the jawline
  • Drooping lower cheeks
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Mild to moderate neck heaviness
  • Early aging that doesn’t require a full facelift

Most suitable patients are in their 40s–60s, but candidacy depends on tissue laxity, not age.

Recovery Timeline

Healing after a lower facelift is generally manageable and follows a predictable pattern.

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, mild tightness
  • Day 5–7: Stitch removal
  • 1–2 weeks: Ready for light daily activities
  • 3–4 weeks: Noticeable refinement
  • 2–3 months: Final, natural contours appear

International patients typically stay in Seoul for 10–14 days.

Expected Results

A Lower Facelift at Grand Plastic Surgery delivers:

  • A sharper, more sculpted jawline
  • Significantly reduced jowls
  • Smoother lower-face contours
  • Lifted, firmer cheeks

Lower Facelift vs. Full Facelift

A Lower Facelift focuses on:

  • Jowls
  • Jawline
  • Lower cheeks
  • Nasolabial and marionette lines

A Full Facelift also addresses:

  • Midface
  • Neck
  • Deeper structural descent

Choose a lower facelift if your main concerns are jowls and lower facial sagging. For more advanced aging, combining with a neck lift or midface lift may provide the best overall result.
