Elastic Band Lift in Gangnam –
Minimally Invasive Facial Repositioning for Lasting Lift and Contour

The Elastic Band Lift is a next-generation facial rejuvenation procedure that provides long-lasting lifting and facial reshaping through a minimally invasive approach. Developed as a hybrid between traditional facelift surgery and thread lifting, this innovative technique uses elastic suspension threads anchored to stable facial points to reposition sagging tissues—especially in the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Gangnam’s plastic surgery clinics are at the forefront of offering this advanced lift for patients seeking noticeable, durable results without full surgical dissection.


πŸ”Ή What Is an Elastic Band Lift?

An Elastic Band Lift is a surgical lifting method using elastic silicone-coated threads that mimic the stretch and resilience of facial ligaments. These elastic bands are inserted through small incisions and anchored in firm anatomical areas such as the temporal region or mastoid fascia. The elastic thread provides continuous tension and adapts to facial movement, resulting in natural-looking lift and repositioning of mid- and lower-face tissues. Unlike absorbable threads, these bands remain in place for long-term support, with results that may last 5 years or more.


πŸ”Ή What Concerns Can It Address?

This procedure is ideal for addressing:

  • Sagging along the jawline and lower cheeks
  • Jowls or blurred facial contours
  • Early neck laxity
  • Midface drooping or loss of definition
  • Recurrence of laxity after thread lifts or mini lifts

It provides strong mechanical support while preserving facial softness and expression.


πŸ”Ή How Does It Work?

Under local or twilight anesthesia, the surgeon:

  1. Makes small, hidden incisions (usually in the hairline or behind the ear)
  2. Inserts elastic bands through subcutaneous tunnels, targeting sagging areas
  3. Anchors the bands to deep fascia to create a lifted, sculpted contour
  4. Adjusts tension for symmetry and natural movement

The procedure avoids wide undermining of skin, reducing trauma and downtime compared to traditional facelifts.


πŸ”Ή Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for an Elastic Band Lift if:

  • You’re in your 40s to 60s with moderate facial sagging
  • You’ve had previous thread lifting or non-surgical treatments with limited effect
  • You want long-term results without full facelift surgery
  • You seek durable support and improved facial symmetry
  • You’re in good health and prefer a less invasive option with a faster recovery


πŸ”Ή What Is the Procedure Like?

  • Duration: 1.5 to 2.5 hours
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or light general anesthesia
  • Incisions: Small, hidden in the scalp or behind ears
  • Hospital Stay: Outpatient or short recovery observation


πŸ”Ή Post-Treatment & Downtime

Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness for 5–10 days. Recovery is generally faster than traditional facelifts, with return to daily activities in 7 to 10 days. Compression garments may be recommended, and results improve steadily over several weeks.


πŸ”Ή When Will I See Results?

The lift is immediately visible, with continued improvement in facial contour and skin elasticity over 1 to 3 months. Because the threads remain in place, results are long-lasting—typically 5 years or more, depending on skin quality and lifestyle.
