South Korea is gaining global attention for its aesthetic medicine, where precise surgical technology meets artistic sensibility. As the global beauty and anti-aging market continues to grow rapidly, the nation has established itself as a leading medical powerhouse — recognized for its delicate surgical precision and natural, harmonious outcomes across Asia, North America, and Europe.
Among the country’s leading specialists, Dr. Dae Kwang Lee, Chief Director of Lovelyan Plastic Surgery, is highly regarded both domestically and internationally for his expertise in facial lifting and rejuvenation. His philosophy emphasizes a delicate anatomical approach and a steadfast commitment to patient safety, earning him recognition as a distinguished surgeon on international academic stages.
The Core: Structural Improvement with Solutions Tailored to Age and Degree of Aging
Dr. Lee’s representative procedures include the Deep Plane Facelift and the Mini SMAS Facelift. Both surgeries target the fascia and ligament structures of the face with great precision, focusing on structural improvement rather than simple skin tightening.
The Deep Plane Facelift involves dissecting beneath the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer to correct deep sagging tissues. It is suitable for patients with moderate to advanced aging or decreased overall facial elasticity, effectively improving sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline definition. This high-level lifting technique provides remarkable results for middle-aged patients seeking fundamental rejuvenation.
On the other hand, the Mini SMAS Facelift minimizes incision length and selectively lifts only the necessary fascia areas. Thanks to this refined and minimally invasive method, recovery is faster and patients can return to daily life more easily. The procedure has recently gained popularity among younger generations in their 30s and 40s who are beginning to experience early signs of aging. Rather than being viewed as a mere “anti-aging surgery,” it is recognized as a solution that restores natural expression and vitality — a trend that is gradually lowering the average age for lifting procedures.
Personalized Design Integrating Anatomy, Aesthetics, and Communication
Dr. Lee designs each surgery by comprehensively assessing the patient’s aging level, facial shape, muscle structure, occupational traits, and desired image. Instead of repeating a standard technique, he integrates anatomical understanding, aesthetic sensibility, and patient communication to deliver an individually optimized lifting design. This approach enhances both safety and aesthetic completeness, earning strong trust from patients in Europe and North America who value subtle, natural results.
“Facelifting is not simply about pulling the skin — it’s about restoring a person’s original expression, identity, and natural beauty,” Dr. Lee emphasizes. His procedures represent a blend of precise anatomical knowledge, artistic design, and a deep respect for safety — coming together as a true form of art.
As anti-aging medical technology continues to advance worldwide with the rapid evolution of digital imaging and precision surgical equipment, Dr. Dae Kwang Lee stands as a prime example of Korean plastic surgery that embodies both technical mastery and artistic sensitivity. Through continuous international academic engagement and research collaborations, he contributes to establishing Korean facelift techniques as a trusted global standard.
Dr. Lee concludes, “With Korean-style lifting solutions that fulfill both safety and beauty, I aim to set a new global standard in anti-aging care — continuing to expand the excellence of Korean medical aesthetics on the world stage.”
