项目介绍

Elastic threads and endoscopic release reduce incision size while lasting longer than standard threads. The SMAS is lifted under endoscopic guidance to improve laxity and wrinkles. This combines quick recovery with the stronger correction of incisional lifting.

Elastic lifting threads and endoscopic release greatly reduce incision size while lasting longer than standard thread lifting. The SMAS is lifted under endoscopic guidance, improving laxity and wrinkles. It combines quick recovery with the stronger wrinkle correction of released incisional lifting.

Benefits of REAL mini elastic lifting

Minimally invasive, little scarring and fast recovery

Compared with standard thread lifting, wrinkle reduction is more visible and durable.

One plus one: after about one year, the inserted thread can simply be retightened for a secondary correction without adding new threads.

Common questions

Questions and answers

Review common concerns before your consultation

How many lifting procedures do I need?

One session can show results, but duration varies, so specialist assessment is essential.

How painful is lifting?

Pain may last through surgery day or the next day. Severe pain can be controlled with injections and medication during hospitalization.

Will lifting affect daily life?

Early swelling, bruising and tightness are expected. After major swelling and bruising subside in 1-2 weeks, daily activity can resume if strenuous exertion is avoided.

When can I see results?

Incisional facelift results are visible immediately. They may continue changing for up to six months, but stabilize from about 2-3 months onward.
