🔹 Revision Facelift: Correcting Pixie Ears and Achieving Powerful Lifting – Dual Plane High SMAS Lift

💎 Revision Facelift Case: 40-year-old Female

Achieving definitive lifting results and pixie ear correction with Dual Plane High SMAS Face & Neck Lifting!!

* This case involves a patient from Thailand who underwent a facelift at another clinic 4–5 years ago. She experienced almost no lifting effect and was left with ear deformities (pixie ears), causing long-term discomfort and dissatisfaction.

* As time passed, her cheeks and jawline sagged further, and the loss of elasticity around the neck became severe, leading her to seek fundamental improvement through revision surgery.

* Note: Patients from Thailand often have very thin skin and SMAS layers, requiring a different level of care and delicate tissue handling compared to Korean patients.

🔹 Surgical Approach: Dual Plane High SMAS Face & Neck Lift

At VIBE Plastic Surgery, we do not simply pull the skin. We apply the Dual Plane High SMAS lifting method, which treats the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer and the skin layer on different planes.

✔ Dual Plane

Separates the skin and SMAS layers to adjust the tension of each independently.

Results in a natural surface appearance while providing a powerful lift from the deep layers.

✔ High SMAS Approach

Extends the lifting range to the deep layers of the upper cheek.

Improves nasolabial folds and mid-face sagging.

✔ Combined Face & Neck Lift

Pulls the lines connecting the jawline and neck together.

Completes a natural silhouette by refining the double chin and neck wrinkles.

🔹 Pixie Ear (Earlobe Deformity) Correction

Due to excessive skin tension during the previous surgery, the earlobes were pulled downward, resulting in a ‘pixie ear’ deformity.

In this revision surgery, we:

Restored the normal position and direction of the earlobes.

Resutured along a natural line to minimize scarring.

Recovered a clean ear contour without further deformity.

🔹 Post-Operative Progress

* Swelling and bruising were minimal immediately after surgery, and the patient showed a rapid recovery without facial nerve issues or sensory problems.

* From the 2nd week onward:

The facial contours became naturally refined.

The lifting effect on the cheeks and jawline became clearly visible.

* Currently, the patient maintains natural expressions with firm lifting results and has expressed very high satisfaction.

🔹 VIBE’s Specialized Aftercare System – ‘Wellness Center’

VIBE Plastic Surgery does not stop at the surgery itself.

We operate a dedicated ‘VIBE Wellness Center’ for rapid recovery and continuous anti-aging management.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Regenerates recovery cells and reduces bruising/swelling.

Swelling & Circulation Programs: Promotes swelling absorption and improves elasticity.

LED Regeneration & Solutions: Restores skin texture.

This system minimizes post-operative discomfort and maximizes results. Our aftercare goes beyond simple ‘recovery’ to ‘anti-aging maintenance,’ helping lifting results last longer.

💬 Dr. Yoo Young-moon on the Key to Revision Facelifts

‘A face that has already undergone surgery contains significant adhesions and scar tissue, so simply pulling it again will not solve the problem. We must meticulously analyze the existing incision lines and tissue adhesions, then redesign the direction of the SMAS layer to achieve both natural expressions and powerful lifting simultaneously.’
