I was contacting a Clinic in South Korea about my sagging cheek/eye area and they recommend a Non-incision SMAS Lift for my Jaw line(and other procedures,like fat grafting under my eyes etc.)The problem is,I never heard of a Non-incision SMAS Lift.I saw Videos about it, there is just one incision made behind the ears and a looot of threads.And apparently no other Clinics apart from ones in Korea are doing it.Has anyone heard about it?Is that technique effective and better for "younger" patients?
