Comparison

SMAS facelift options compared

The benefits and recovery times shown are averaged for each technique and given for guidance: the scope of correction and rehabilitation depend on your anatomy and individual features, and the surgeon confirms them at the consultation.

At the consultation the surgeon draws up a plan for your case and explains how your SMAS facelift will go.

Recovery after a SMAS facelift

For the first 7–10 days you need rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. For the first few days you may feel discomfort and tightness, which are relieved with medication prescribed by your doctor.

Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks, and full recovery takes about 2 months. The first clear changes appear once the swelling goes down, after 3–4 weeks; the face takes on its final look within 3–6 months. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

FAQ

We answer what
people ask before booking

What is a SMAS facelift and who is it for?

City Medical Centre performs surgical facelifts only. The surgeon tailors the scope of surgery at the consultation, after assessing the changes and explaining every stage. The skin, subcutaneous fat and the SMAS layer (muscles and ligaments) are corrected layer by layer, so the face looks natural, without an “overdone” effect, and the result is long-term — while natural skin ageing continues.

After 40–50 the skin loses firmness step by step: tissues visibly sag, jowls form, the jawline is less defined and the cheeks droop. A surgical SMAS facelift works deeper than cosmetology — repositioning the muscle and fascia layer, it treats the root cause of sagging rather than its effects, so the result is lasting even with significant changes.

  • Three levels of correction

  • Hidden incisions

    Incisions are hidden along the hairline and around the ears, so once healed the scars are barely visible

Facelift in Osaka: from consultation to result

What changes after a facelift? The lower-face contour becomes crisp, the cheeks are lifted, the chin line is clean without a double chin and nasolabial folds soften. Brows rise and the eyes look more open. The aim for patients from Osaka is a younger, fresher look without an overdone effect or a mask-like appearance. One surgery gives a complete result; the result is long-term, while natural skin ageing continues.

Inside the operating room the SMAS facelift runs through three levels of correction. First the skin flap is lifted and redraped, and excess skin removed. Next, fat in the cheeks and lower face is redistributed. Finally the muscle and fascia layer is lifted and secured, treating weakened ligaments and descended muscles. This is how the operation goes for patients from Osaka.

What do you pay for? From $2,400 (≈ ¥380,000) covers the operation and everything around it: a one-to-one consultation, the medical team, anaesthesia, inpatient care with meals, 24/7 monitoring and twelve months of surgeon follow-up. The first consultation is free and comes with no pressure to decide. Anyone in Osaka can apply via any messenger to arrange a convenient time.
