Mini Facelift in Willbe Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
A mini facelift at Willbe Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, focuses on lifting the deep facial layers to restore a youthful appearance. This procedure uses the SMAS technique, which stands for the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. By tightening this deep tissue rather than just the skin, the results appear more natural and last much longer.
Expert Care by Dr. Kim Jun-young
Dr. Kim Jun-young is a board-certified plastic surgery specialist who manages every step of the treatment. He personally handles the initial consultation, the surgery itself, and all follow-up care. This one-on-one approach helps the patient receive consistent attention throughout their stay. Dr. Kim Jun-young specializes in facial aesthetics and uses precise methods to minimize visible scarring. Patients can also choose to combine the mini facelift with endoscopic forehead lifting to elevate the brows and smooth the upper face.
Advanced SMAS Technique
The clinic focuses on the SMAS facelift method to address sagging in the lower face and jawline. Traditional mini lifts often only pull the skin, which can lead to a stretched look. In contrast, the SMAS approach involves lifting the underlying muscle and connective tissue. This provides a firmer foundation for the face and prevents the skin from dropping again quickly. The surgery is performed at the clinic's facility in the Gangnam District, a known center for medical tourism in Seoul.
Patient Experience in Seoul
Willbe Plastic Surgery operates as a single-doctor practice, which means there are no "shadow doctors" or ghost surgeons. This setup helps build trust between the patient and Dr. Kim Jun-young. The clinic is located in a convenient area of Seoul and provides support for international visitors. The medical staff can communicate in English, Japanese, and Chinese to help patients understand their treatment plan. Before the procedure, every patient meets with the surgeon to discuss their goals and review the surgical steps. To learn more about treatment options, you may leave a request on Bookimed.

Willbe Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Willbe Plastic Surgery is a private aesthetic clinic in Seoul, South Korea. It's located in the Nonhyeon-dong neighborhood of Gangnam District. The clinic operates as a single-doctor practice focused on detailed facial cosmetic procedures.
Surgeon-Led Aesthetic Planning
The clinic follows a surgeon-led model for all treatments. Dr. Kim Jun-young, a plastic surgery specialist, serves as the representative director. He handles the entire care process – from initial consultation to treatment design to surgery itself. This means patients work with the same doctor throughout their experience.
Specialized Facial Procedures
The surgical team focuses on facial aesthetics and volume restoration. The clinic offers several options for eye, nose, and lifting surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty: Both implant-based and natural, non-implant options are available. Ear cartilage is often used to create natural-looking nose tips.
- Eye Surgery: The clinic performs primary eye shape corrections and complex revision surgeries.
- Facial Fat Transfer: This procedure uses PRP micro fat grafting to restore volume. A centrifuge processes the fat to improve skin elasticity and texture.
- Hand Rejuvenation: Micro fat grafting is also applied to the back of the hands for smoother skin.
Each surgical plan is customized to balance the patient's existing facial features.
Advanced Lifting Techniques
Willbe Plastic Surgery offers both surgical and non-surgical lifting methods for sagging skin. The SMAS facelift lifts the deep fascial layer under the skin. This gives more durable results than surface-level tightening alone. Endoscopic forehead lifting is also available, offering a younger look with smaller incisions.
The clinic's signature non-surgical method is PDO 1:1 customized thread lifting. This technique uses specialized melting threads with bidirectional cogs. Threads are placed into the tissue layer under the skin to support it in a specific direction. This triggers collagen regeneration in the dermis, improving skin elasticity naturally.
Technology and Materials
Surgeons use MFDS-approved PDO threads for all thread-lifting procedures. These materials are designed for safe absorption by the body. For fat grafting, a centrifuge isolates high-quality micro-fat cells. This purification process enhances volume retention after injection.
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients visiting from outside South Korea. Staff offer assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese. This helps international patients understand the consultation process and surgical instructions clearly.
