If you have ever heard “my facelift only lasted 2 years and my face sagged again” — that is almost certainly because the procedure only pulled the surface skin, not the deeper structural layer causing the aging. The Face Lock technique at Teeraporn Hospital was developed to solve exactly that problem.
Why do most facelifts stop working after a few years?
Traditional facelift techniques pull the skin surface upward, creating a temporarily smoother appearance. But the SMAS layer beneath — the actual structural cause of facial sagging — is left untouched. Once the skin relaxes again, the face returns to its previous appearance, usually within 2-4 years.
How Face Lock works differently
Face Lock targets the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) — the same deep muscular layer responsible for genuine facial aging. By repositioning this layer directly, the results hold far longer and look completely natural.
- Deep layer repositioning — not just pulling surface skin
- Natural appearance — no “operated” or “pulled” look
- Results last 8-12 years — because the root cause is corrected
- Faster recovery — smaller incisions, only 5-7 days downtime
- Exclusive technique — available only at Teeraporn Hospital
