Face and Neck Lift in Korea
A face lift that tightens the SMAS and deep cheek fat
Triple face and neck lift
The Triple Facelift at LABOM targets the skin, the SMAS layer, and the deep fat layer simultaneously, providing multi-layered lifting down to the deep tissues that cause facial sagging. Unlike conventional face and neck lifts that only lift the skin, this technique lifts the underlying fascia and fat layers together—refining facial contours for a remarkably natural and long-lasting result.

What is the Triple Face and Neck Lift at LABOM?
This is LABOM’s unique facelift, a 3-step lifting procedure that lifts from deep within to the skin.
How Is a Triple Face and Neck Lift Done?
Focuses primarily on tightening the skin to improve superficial sagging;
Fundamental improvement of facial sagging is difficult.
A fundamental and powerful lifting effect that simultaneously tightens the skin, SMAS, and deep fat layers.
01
Fundamental & Powerful Results with Triple Lifting
Unlike conventional procedures that only pull the skin, this technique simultaneously lifts the underlying SMAS layer (the fibro-muscular layer between the skin and muscle) and the deep fat layer to address the root cause of facial sagging.
Because the SMAS layer easily loses elasticity due to gravity and aging, lifting down to this deep tissue is essential for delivering fundamental improvement and long-lasting results.
02
Simultaneous Improvement of Skin Elasticity, Wrinkles, and Volume
- Skin Layer Lifting: Improves surface elasticity and fine lines.
- SMAS Layer Lifting: Smooths deep wrinkles and redefines facial contours.
- Deep Fat Layer Repositioning: Addresses volume concerns like double chin and sagging cheeks.
By targeting all three layers simultaneously, you achieve comprehensive restoration of skin firmness, smooth texture, and balanced volume across the entire face.
03
Natural & Long-Lasting Results
Lifting the SMAS layer and deep fat layer prevents excessive tension on the skin alone. This promotes faster recovery while delivering natural-looking, long-lasting lifting effects. Furthermore, it stimulates collagen regeneration, leaving the skin structure significantly firmer and more resilient.
Triple Face and Neck Lift Surgery Method
1. Skin incision
2. SMAS and retaining ligament dissection
3. Deep cheek fat removal and fascia lifting
4. Removal of excess skin and suturing
Solving facial sagging post-contouring surgery
Face and neck lift after contouring
While corrective jaw surgery and facial contouring surgeries refine the facial structure by reshaping the underlying bone, reducing or shifting bone volume leaves behind excess skin and soft tissue. This can lead to sagging skin, drooping cheeks, and deep wrinkles. Because bone surgery alone cannot improve skin elasticity or address surface sagging, combining it with a Triple Face and Neck Lift ensures a smooth, seamless transition across all facial contours—delivering a significantly firmer, younger, and more defined appearance.
During corrective jaw (orthognatic) surgery or facial contouring surgery, the periosteum, skin, and soft tissues are separated as the bones are reduced or repositioned. Because the overall bone volume decreases, the remaining soft tissue easily sags under the pull of gravity.
When retaining ligaments are damaged, excessive bone is removed, or skin elasticity is compromised, sagging along the cheeks and jawline becomes particularly pronounced. Over time, these effects can worsen, making it difficult to achieve a smooth, natural facial contour without targeted tissue lifting.
Limitations of Non-Surgical Lifting
01
When the deep cheek sags downward after cheekbone reduction surgery
02
When a double chin develops due to sagging muscles under the chin after double jaw surgery
03
When jawline sagging is prominent after square jaw reduction
04
When nasolabial folds (smile lines) have worsened after facial contouring surgery
Thread Lift
- Duration of Results: 1 to 2 years (threads are eventually absorbed by the body)
- Mechanism & Limitations:
- Performed without removing excess skin and underlying tissue
- Pulls only the surface-level skin, creating a brief illusion of lifting that often leads to early recurrence of sagging
Minimal Incision Lift (Mini Lift)
- Duration of Results: 2 to 3 years (skin re-sags over time)
- Mechanism & Limitations:
- Features small incision sites and only partially pulls the SMAS layer
- Provides limited lifting capacity and shorter-lasting overall results
Laser Lifting
- Duration of Results: Requires repeated sessions every 6 months to 1 year
- Mechanism & Limitations:
- Primary action occurs within the dermal layer of the skin
- Cannot provide fundamental improvement for severe sagging or when lifting of deeper structural tissues is required
Post-contouring and jaw correction sagging is fundamentally a structural imbalance between the reshaped bone and the remaining soft tissue—meaning non-surgical approaches can only deliver temporary, surface-level improvements.
The Triple Face and Neck Lift effectively targets widespread sagging across the cheeks, jawline, and neck, while correcting deep wrinkles and overall loss of skin elasticity. It delivers natural-looking, semi-permanent results that fundamentally restore youthful balance to the entire face.

Face and Neck Lift Surgery Method After Contouring
Midcheek Groove removal surgery
Midcheek grooves, known as Indian Wrinkles in Korea, are depressed lines that start from the inner corner of the eye (medial canthus) and extend diagonally along the cheekbone.
This area marks the boundary between the front cheek and deep cheek fat. As aging occurs, volume decreases across the skin, subcutaneous fat, and deep fat layers, while the retaining ligaments of the midface remain relatively strong. This creates a distinct contrast in sagging between the upper and lower tissues, forming the groove.
These lines can remain visible even without facial movement, often giving the face a tired, harsh, or aged impression. The groove becomes particularly pronounced when there is insufficient volume in the front cheek or when deep cheek fat sags downward.
Midcheek Groove Treatment with MIFT: Only at LABOM

Improve facial lines sagging due to sagging salivary glands
salivary gland removal surgery
Salivary gland hypertrophy refers to a condition where the salivary glands become excessively enlarged. The three pairs of salivary glands located in the face are the parotid glands (below the ears), the submandibular glands (under the jaw), and the sublingual glands (under the tongue). Salivary gland hypertrophy occurs when these glands grow abnormally large. In particular, when submandibular glands drop and sag after facial contouring surgery, it breaks the definition of the jawline and creates a heavy, double-chin appearance.
Salivary gland removal surgery to restore sagging facial lines
By excising and lifting a portion of the sagging salivary glands, not only the jawline but also the overall facial contours become slimmer.
LABOM’s Core Technology for Salivary Gland Removal
Definite Results
Results are clear and guaranteed as the portion of the sagging salivary gland is directly visualized and resected during surgery.
Permanent Results
Since the procedure involves surgical resection rather than repeated treatments, the results are permanent.
Safe Procedure
Because the sagging salivary gland is directly visualized and resected, key anatomical structures such as nerves and blood vessels can be safely avoided.
Enhanced Facelift Results
Performing this procedure alongside a face and neck lift maximizes the overall lifting effect.
LABOM PLASTIC SURGERY

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Triple Facial and Neck Lift?
It is a three-step lifting procedure that addresses deep cheek fat, the SMAS layer, and the skin to improve facial and neck sagging from the deeper tissues outward.
How does the Triple Facial and Neck Lift differ from a conventional face and neck lift?
Rather than focusing only on tightening the skin, it lifts the skin, SMAS, and deep fat layer together to refine facial contours and address deeper sources of sagging.
What concerns can a Triple Facial and Neck Lift address?
It can help improve surface elasticity and fine lines, deep wrinkles, facial contours, sagging cheeks, double-chin volume concerns, and overall loss of firmness.
What happens during a Triple Facial and Neck Lift?
The procedure involves a skin incision and peeling, dissection of the SMAS and retaining ligaments, deep cheek fat removal with fascia lifting, and suturing after excess skin is removed.
How long does Triple Facial and Neck Lift surgery take?
The surgery typically takes about 3 to 4 hours.
What type of anesthesia is used for a Triple Facial and Neck Lift?
Sedation and local anesthesia are used.

When are stitches removed after a Triple Facial and Neck Lift?
Stitches are generally removed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
How long is recovery after a Triple Facial and Neck Lift?
The recovery period is usually about 1 to 2 weeks.
Why might a face and neck lift be considered after facial contouring or two-jaw surgery?
When bone volume is reduced or repositioned, excess skin and soft tissue may sag. A face and neck lift can address sagging cheeks, jawline looseness, deep wrinkles, and reduced skin elasticity.
What are Indian wrinkles?
Indian wrinkles, also called midface grooves, are depressed lines that begin near the inner eye corner and extend diagonally along the cheekbone. They can become more visible as facial volume decreases and deep cheek fat descends.
Who may consider Indian wrinkle removal surgery?
It may be considered when sunken cheeks create a tired appearance, wrinkles make the face look harsh or scarred, cheek sagging is severe, or fillers and fat grafting have been ineffective or worsened the wrinkles.
How is Indian wrinkle removal surgery performed?
It includes a personalized consultation, an incision beneath the eye, dissection of the eye muscle and suborbital fat pocket, separation of retaining ligaments and the zygomatic fat pocket, and periosteal fixation.
How long does Indian wrinkle removal surgery take and what is the recovery time?
The surgery takes about 1 hour. It uses sleep or local anesthesia, allows same-day discharge, has stitch removal at 7 days, and typically requires about 1 to 2 weeks of recovery.
What is salivary gland removal surgery intended to improve?
It is intended to improve a heavy or less-defined jawline and double-chin appearance associated with sagging or enlarged submandibular salivary glands.
How is salivary gland removal surgery performed?
A portion of the sagging salivary gland is directly visualized, resected, and lifted to help create slimmer facial contours and a more defined jawline.
