What Is a face Lift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic surgery in Korea designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls. This procedure involves tightening drooping tissues, repositioning or removing excess fat, and smoothing the skin for a youthful and refreshed appearance. Results often include:
- Fuller cheeks
- A more defined jawline
- A smoother and firmer neck
Korean surgeons are renowned for tailoring each facelift to enhance natural features, creating a balanced and harmonious look.
How Much Does a Facelift Cost in Korea?
The cost of a facelift in Korea typically ranges between ₩7,000,000 to ₩15,000,000 (approximately $5,500 to $12,000 USD). Factors influencing the price include the complexity of the procedure, the type of facelift, and the clinic’s reputation. A personalized consultation will provide a detailed estimate based on your goals and treatment plan.

Deep Plane Facelift
A cutting-edge technique that repositions deeper tissues for optimal results, ideal for significant sagging and deep folds. Korean surgeons are highly skilled in this advanced method, known for its long-lasting, natural outcomes.
Mini Facelift

FAQ
Are Facelift Results Permanent?
Weight loss isn’t the primary goal of a Mommy Makeover. A tummy tuck combined with liposuction may result in 2 to 8 pounds of reduction, depending on your starting weight. But remember that the real purpose of a Mommy Makeover procedure is to contour your shape and boost your confidence.
How Soon Will I See Results After a Facelift?
While a facelift can provide long-lasting results, it doesn’t stop the natural aging process. Most patients enjoy a more youthful appearance for 5–10 years or longer, depending on lifestyle and skincare habits.
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Facelift in Korea?
Recovery times depend on the type of procedure:
- Mini Facelift: 7–10 days for most swelling and bruising to subside.
- Traditional or Deep Plane Facelift: 2–4 weeks for initial recovery, with final results visible in a few months.
Korean clinics often provide detailed post-op care plans to ensure a smooth recovery
