About
What is a Clip SMAS Lift?
Delicate Design, Precise Transformation
Based on a wider dissection range than a semi-lift
Addressing deep nasolabial folds, jowls and sagging around the mouth, a collapsed jawline and double chin, etc.,
this is a face lift surgery that pulls up the deep SMAS layer to improve overall facial sagging.
Case Concept
Suitable for these cases
The approach and incision line vary depending on the degree and extent of sagging.
CASE 02
Cases of soft tissue sagging
after facial contouring or orthognathic surgery
CASE 03
Nasolabial folds, marionette lines,
collapsed jawline,
and sagging of the mid-face and lower face
progressing at the same time
Before & After
Clip SMAS Lift Before & After Surgery
If only the skin surface is pulled, the surgical effect is insufficient and fundamental sagging improvement is not achieved.
The skin layer, fat layer, and SMAS layer must be pulled together to achieve the maximum lifting effect, and
the effect lasts longer.

How It Works
Clip SMAS Lift Surgical Method
Incisions are made from inside the hairline to behind the ears, simultaneously lifting and fixing the skin, fat, and SMAS layers.
This can improve overall facial wrinkles and sagging, and the results are long-lasting.
STEP 01
Consultation · Design Planning
Through thorough consultation and examination before surgery, we meticulously design the procedure according to the degree of wrinkles, age, and individual characteristics.
STEP 02
Incision Design · Incision
The incision area is designed according to the degree of wrinkles and sagging, and incisions are made in front of and behind the ear.
STEP 03
Dissection · Lift
Precisely dissecting the skin layer, fat layer, and SMAS layer, appropriately releasing retaining ligaments, naturally lifting the sagging tissues, and then removing excess skin.
STEP 04
Precise Suturing
The incision sites at the hairline and behind the ears are meticulously sutured to ensure scars are as inconspicuous as possible.
Difference
CLYVE face lift is different
Instead of forcibly pulling the skin, we sufficiently dissect the sagging tissues to allow them to move freely before lifting.
This reduces the burden on the skin and allows for a more natural lift.
Inadequate dissection
If forcibly pulled without proper dissection, the continuous outward tension makes fundamental improvement of facial sagging difficult and can result in significant scarring.
CLYVE face lift: Reliably severing retaining ligaments
and proper dissection.
By safely and precisely dissecting and severing obstructive ligaments, there's no need for excessive pulling, resulting in natural improvement of sagging with minimal scarring.
Lifting Step

After Care
Post-Surgery Premium Aftercare
Recovery is managed with the same care as the surgery. This is CLYVE's post-operative recovery program.
Care 01
Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHyperbaric Chamber
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a program that helps supply oxygen to tissues, enabling more systematic management of the recovery process. It is provided for a more comfortable recovery after surgery.
Care 02
HealiteSmart LUX
Utilizing specific wavelengths of energy, it aids cell activation and tissue recovery, as well as alleviating post-surgical swelling and bruising, and can help with skin regeneration and scar management.
Care 03
Shampoo Service
To minimize discomfort after face lift surgery, we provide a shampoo service. With post-operative care that considers even the smallest details, we enhance satisfaction with recovery.
Care 04
Scar Management LaserFractional CO2
After surgery, laser care is performed on the incision area to aid skin regeneration and tissue recovery, supporting stable healing.
The post-operative care program may vary depending on the scope of surgery and recovery progress, and detailed information will be provided during consultation.
Why Clyve
Clip SMAS Lift: The Difference
Multi-layer Lifting
Beyond the skin surface, we lift multiple layers including the SMAS and deep tissues for a firmer, more resilient improvement.
Natural Wrinkle Improvement
By improving not only the skin but also deep tissues, you can expect natural and highly satisfying changes.
Structure that pulls up to deep tissues
We improve firmness by pulling not only the skin surface but also the fascial layer (SMAS) and deep tissues together.
Accurate and Precise Dissection
The fascial layer (SMAS) and retaining ligaments are meticulously dissected according to anatomical structures to achieve a more definitive lift.
