What does "sagging" really mean?

It’s not just the skin that sags NO!
It’s the underlying tissue that sags YES!

The term "Sagging" does not simply refer to the drooping of the visible skin.

Skin lifting

A technique that involves lifting only the skin layer without addressing deeper structures

Incision along the natural crease around the ear

Surgery Time: Approximately 2 hours

Advantages: Simple procedure with quick recovery

Effect: Temporarily improves mild skin sagging

VS

SMAS Lift

A method that involves plicating (folding and suturing) the sagging SMAS and lifting it in selected areas

Incision along the natural crease around the ear

Surgery Time: Approximately 2–4 hours

Advantage: Effective for patients with mild to moderate sagging

Effect: Provides lifting results, but may have limited effect on deep nasolabial folds, jowls, or significant sagging

VS

Stem Cell Deep Plane Facelift

A technique that releases retaining ligaments, lifts all facial tissue layers, and promotes skin regeneration by applying stem cells

Incision along the natural crease around the ear

Surgery Time: Approximately 4 to 8 hours

Advantage: Delivers dramatic results in cases of severe facial sagging

Effect:Effectively lifts the entire face, including the underlying facial expression muscles. Particularly effective for deep nasolabial folds, jowls, and neck sagging.

VS

What is facial sagging?

It refers to the loosening of multiple layers — the skin, the underlying fat, and the SMAS layer —as well as weakened facial muscles, leading to overall drooping of the face.

The Deep Plane Facelift
lifts all layers of facial tissue.

To achieve dramatic and long-lasting results, dissection must reach the deep anatomical plane.

1

Dissection down to the deep plane for exceptional lifting results!

The key to a Stem Cell Deep Plane Facelift isV

By releasing the retaining ligaments and allowing the SMAS layer to move freely,
deeper plane dissection becomes possible — leading to superior surgical outcomes.

2

Restoration of wrinkled skin through the exceptional regenerative power
of fresh stem cells

Injecting fresh stem cells (SVF) harvested from your own body into the surgical area acts as a regenerative booster, leading to:

Reduced tissue lumping Down
Enhanced skin radiance UP
Improved firmness and elasticity UP

When combined with consistent postoperative treatments, it not only accelerates recovery but also provides excellent anti-wrinkle effects.

3

Tension-free suturing minimizes scarring — less worry about visible scars

A person is not an object — the tension applied during suturing directly affects blood circulation after surgery. To prevent prominent scarring, the skin must be closed with minimal tension.

That’s why experience matters in facelift surgery!

4

Use of Advanced Equipment: Minimizes Bleeding and Tissue Damage

At TheLINE, advanced surgical equipment is used for immediate hemostasis and precise tissue control.

During surgery, the Harmonic Scalpel is used to deliver high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations that allow for immediate hemostasis and tissue sealing. This minimizes tissue damage and shortens the overall operation time.

A Stem Cell Deep Plane Facelift must be performed by
highly experienced surgeons with in-depth anatomical knowledge to ensure both safety and precision.
