SMAS Pro Facelift is an aesthetic procedure that effectively eliminates sagging skin and signs of aging—such as excess skin, redundant fat, and laxity on the facial region over time. Let’s explore this procedure with JW Hospital!
What is SMAS Pro Facelift?
What do you know about SMAS Pro facelift technology?
Time, aging, and stressful working environments gradually cause the skin to lose firmness, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and skin laxity. To “revitalize” youthful beauty, an increasing number of people are turning to the SMAS Pro facelift solution – an advanced facial rejuvenation technology at Bệnh viện JW Hàn Quốc.
SMAS Pro (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) is a lifting technique that acts directly on the superficial aponeurotic layer beneath the skin – the primary structure determining facial firmness and youthfulness.
SMAS Pro provides skin-tightening benefits with superior advantages among contemporary skin rejuvenation techniques. It is categorized into 3 groups: mid-to-lower facial lift, neck lift, and combined face and neck lift.

This procedure:
- Eliminates long-standing excess skin and stubborn fat deposits.
- Lifts sagging facial muscles and neck contours.
- Delivers firm, glowing skin, looking 10 to 20 years younger.
Specifically, SMAS Pro is divided into 3 primary categories:
- Facial lift.
- Neck lift.
- Combined face and neck lift.
Incisions are meticulously concealed within the hairline, temporal area, and around the ears, ensuring optimal aesthetic results with virtually invisible scars.
The surgeon creates precise incisions at designated anatomical markings such as the temples, the retroauricular crease, and around the ears. Incisions are hidden along the hairline, removing excess skin and subcutaneous fat while simultaneously tightening the facial skin, underlying facial musculature, and neck area…
This surgical procedure re-drapes and restructures aged, sagging skin across the face and neck. It eliminates most accumulated excess skin and fat over time, restoring a smooth, revitalized complexion.
Ideal Candidates for SMAS Pro Facelift
First and foremost, when performing this technique, the surgeon precisely identifies the SMAS layer. Through plication or a continuous Z-plasty suture technique, the facial muscle layer is tightened and elevated, while sagging excess skin and fat are excised.
This visibly improves facial contours, restoring firmness and rejuvenating appearance by up to 10–20 years. This approach is indicated for individuals presenting with:
- Lax, sagging facial skin with deep wrinkles
- Facial aging with excess localized fat causing tissue drooping
- Individuals who underwent previous facial rejuvenation procedures without satisfactory results
- Candidates seeking profound facial rejuvenation through surgical lifting

SMAS Pro Facelift Protocol at Bệnh viện JW
Step 1: Examination and consultation with Bệnh viện JW surgeons to determine the tailored surgical plan for each individual patient.
Step 2: Comprehensive pre-operative health check-up, including blood pressure monitoring, ECG, etc., ensuring accurate preoperative evaluation and safety.
Step 3: Selection of the appropriate anesthetic approach based on individual evaluation—typically local anesthesia for younger patients and light general anesthesia/sedation for older candidates.
Step 4: Performing the surgical procedure
- The surgeon makes discreet incisions hidden in the hairline extending along the temporal region downward. Through this access, the subcutaneous tissue is dissected, followed by secure plication and anchoring of the SMAS layer to restore muscle firmness.
- The dissection technique is precise and swift. Crucially, the operating surgeon must possess extensive surgical experience to target the anatomical SMAS plane accurately.
Step 5: Postoperative recovery and monitoring
Step 6: Follow-up examination and strict adherence to postoperative clinical care guidelines

How Does the Surgeon Perform the Procedure on the Face?
According to plastic surgery specialist Dr. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung, MD, PhD – General Director of Bệnh viện JW:
“With advanced surgical equipment, the surgeon accurately identifies and isolates the SMAS layer across the facial anatomy. Then, limited skin undermining is performed, followed by robust plication and fixation of the SMAS layer to firm up the facial musculature.“
Sutures placed adjacent to the hairline follow continuous folded or Z-plasty patterns across key anatomical regions to tighten facial skin while repositioning soft tissues to their pre-ptosis anatomical position.”

The suturing process is carried out using folded plication lines concealed within the hair-bearing skin, running down along the temporal line to the pre-auricular crease. Thanks to these concealed incisions, the procedure leaves no conspicuous scars on the face while maintaining optimal safety and superior efficacy.
