Ultrasound Lifting in Seoul, Korea | Grand Plastic Surgery


Ultrasound Lifting is a popular non-surgical tightening treatment offered at Grand Plastic Surgery in Seoul, using focused ultrasound energy to lift deeper layers of the face without incisions or downtime. This treatment targets the SMAS layer—the same layer lifted during facelift surgery—to improve sagging, enhance jawline definition, and restore youthful firmness naturally.

It’s an ideal option for patients who want a noticeable lift but prefer a non-invasive approach.

What Is Ultrasound Lifting?

Ultrasound Lifting uses high-intensity or micro-focused ultrasound energy to heat and contract deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin. This stimulates collagen production, causing the skin to gradually tighten and lift.

Ultrasound lifting is especially effective for:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Early or moderate jowls
  • Softened jawline
  • Under-chin heaviness
  • Mild midface descent
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Overall skin laxity

Results build gradually over 2–3 months and continue improving as collagen increases.

Ultrasound Lifting at Grand Plastic Surgery

Grand Plastic Surgery provides customized ultrasound-lifting protocols to match each patient’s aging pattern and desired level of tightening. Their treatment approach focuses on:

  • Safe, controlled energy delivery
  • Comfortable sessions with minimal discomfort
  • Multi-depth targeting for strong lifting
  • Natural, subtle contour improvement
  • Protecting the skin surface while heating deeper layers
  • Enhanced jawline and midface definition

Ultrasound lifting is an excellent option for patients who want visible improvement with zero downtime.

How Ultrasound Lifting Works

While the exact device varies, the treatment typically includes:

1. Multi-Layer Ultrasound Energy Delivery

Energy targets the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and SMAS layer for deeper lifting.

2. Collagen Stimulation

Heat triggers the body’s natural repair response, creating new collagen and elastin.

3. Gradual Lifting and Firming

As collagen rebuilds, the face becomes tighter, more defined, and more youthful.

4. Skin Smoothing and Texture Refinement

Fine lines soften and overall skin quality improves.

This layered approach helps replicate the lifting support of a surgical facelift—without surgery.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ultrasound lifting is ideal for individuals with:

  • Mild to moderate sagging
  • Early jowls
  • Loose jawline contour
  • Soft midface structure
  • Fine lines around the mouth or under the chin
  • Aging that does not yet require surgery
  • Desire for natural lifting with no downtime

Patients in their 20s to 50s benefit most, while older patients often use ultrasound lifting as maintenance after a facelift.

Treatment Areas

Ultrasound lifting can effectively treat:

  • Jawline
  • Cheeks
  • Chin and under-chin
  • Midface
  • Temples
  • Nasolabial region
  • Neck
  • Around the eyes (depending on device)

This makes it a versatile option for overall non-surgical rejuvenation.

Expected Results

Ultrasound lifting at Grand Plastic Surgery delivers:

  • Firmer, tighter skin
  • Improved jawline definition
  • Reduced jowls
  • Lifted midface and under-chin area
  • Smoother, fresher overall appearance
  • Gradual but noticeable improvement
  • Natural results with no scars or downtime

Results typically last 6–12 months depending on aging and skin quality.

Recovery Timeline

One of the biggest advantages of ultrasound lifting is its zero downtime.

  • Immediately: Skin feels warm and slightly tighter
  • 1–3 days: Any mild sensitivity fades
  • 2–4 weeks: Early lifting effects begin
  • 2–3 months: Full lifting effect appears

Patients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

Ultrasound Lifting vs. Other Lifting Methods

Ultrasound vs. RF

  • Ultrasound: deeper lifting (SMAS)
  • RF: surface tightening + texture improvement
    They complement each other well.

Ultrasound vs. Thread Lift

  • Ultrasound: non-invasive, subtle lift
  • Threads: mechanical lifting, stronger but more invasive

Ultrasound vs. Facelift

  • Ultrasound: early sagging, minimal downtime
  • Facelift: moderate to severe sagging, long-lasting result
