Facelift Surgery
The definitive SMAS facelift — repositioning the deep layer for a decade of change that still looks like you
Overview
A true facelift works beneath the skin: the SMAS layer — the structural sheet that has actually descended — is lifted and fixed back where it belongs, and only then is skin redraped without tension. That deep-layer logic is what separates a ten-year result from a tight, wind-blown one.
Dr. Oh performs DU's facelifts personally over 4–5 hours, hiding incisions along the hairline and ear contours. Jowls, deep folds and neck laxity are corrected in one operation; stitches come out across weeks one and two with daily activities resuming quickly.

Facelift Surgery — FAQ
How long do facelift results last?
Aging continues, but the reset endures — patients typically look meaningfully younger than their untreated course for roughly a decade.
Will I look pulled?
No — because lift tension is carried by the SMAS, the skin lies naturally; the over-tight look comes from skin-only lifts DU does not perform.
What is recovery honestly like?
Swelling and bruising are real for the first two weeks; most patients feel socially presentable at 2–3 weeks with scars maturing over months.
Can eyes or forehead be combined?
Yes — brow, eye and face age together, and combined plans under one anesthesia are common for visiting patients.
