SMAS Mini Lifting

SMAS Mini Lifting can be performed for a wide range of age groups,

and because it lifts the midface, it can address the underlying sagging

in the areas of concern with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam communicated?

Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided through 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.

How long does recovery take?

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.

How can I get a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam?

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. Through a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule. In accordance with Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, reviews and before-and-after materials are provided only on the basis of prior consent.

Can I see before-and-after photos in advance?

In accordance with the advertising provisions of Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, before-and-after cases may be viewed for medical purposes only by patients who have given prior consent and attended an in-person consultation. Publicly available materials are limited to de-identified cases for which consent has been completed. Detailed cases are explained directly by our medical staff during your consultation.

How are post-surgery side effects and aftercare handled?

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.

What is the difference between non-incisional and incisional lifting in Gangnam?

Non-incisional lifting (thread or mini lifting) has a short downtime and aims for natural results, but the effect may not last as long. Incisional lifting such as the SMAS facelift requires a longer recovery but lasts longer and offers greater improvement of sagging. The choice depends on the degree of skin laxity, your age, and your lifestyle.

How long do the lifting results last?

Our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic SMAS facelift generally lasts about 5–10 years, while non-incisional mini and thread lifting typically lasts 2–3 years. Results vary from person to person depending on the progression of aging, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Can a forehead lift or forehead surgery also be done at the same time?

Our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic forehead surgery (endoscopic forehead lift) simultaneously improves drooping eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and glabellar lines. When performed together with a facelift, an integrated lift of the upper, mid, and lower face is possible.
