The cost depends on the extent of dissection (mid-face, lower face, neck), any accompanying procedures (brow lift, fat grafting) and the type of anesthesia. Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam gives an individual quote based on the surgical plan drawn up after assessment.
The incision is designed along the pre- and post-auricular lines and the hairline, so it is hidden by the hair and the structure of the ear. The REAL SMAS facelift at Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam is closed with reduced tension on the incision so that the scar fades.
Generally 1 to 2 weeks until suture removal and 2 to 4 weeks for the major swelling to settle, with most people returning to daily life at around two weeks. It varies between individuals, so Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam explains the recovery process stage by stage.
A mini lift reduces the incision and dissection for faster recovery but improves a limited area, while the REAL SMAS facelift lifts the SMAS layer fully and improves the cheeks, jawline and neck far more. We advise on the recommended approach according to the degree of sagging at a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetics in Gangnam.
Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided at a free one-on-one consultation. We prioritize a personalized quote tailored to each patient's diagnostic results, rather than comparison quotes or promotional prices.
Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and the natural final result settles in after 2–3 months. Non-incisional and minimal-incision methods have a shorter downtime, while incisional and revision surgery can take somewhat longer to recover. We provide the precise recovery schedule for each procedure during your consultation.
You can visit our main clinic on Dosan-daero in Gangnam for an in-person consultation, or have a remote consultation by phone, KakaoTalk, or online form. At a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule.

Every surgery carries some possibility of side effects. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam monitors recovery-phase symptoms such as swelling, bruising, tightness, and a foreign-body sensation through a post-surgery regular check-up and care system (the Mihak Care System). We operate a 24-hour emergency contact line and an aftercare program.
