ElastiDream Lifting · SMAS Support

ElastiDream Lifting in Korea — lifting the SMAS, not just skin.

ElastiDream Lifting is a minimally invasive facial lifting procedure that uses an elastic lifting band to support the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). The technique is designed to improve facial contours while promoting natural facial movement and long-lasting support.

How It Differs

Deeper tissue, not tighter skin.

Unlike conventional thread lifts that rely on multiple barbed threads, ElastiDream uses a flexible elastic band designed to distribute lifting forces more evenly. The emphasis is on support of deeper facial tissues rather than tightening the skin alone. The band is positioned beneath the skin to reposition descended soft tissues, support the SMAS layer, improve jawline definition, reduce facial sagging, and maintain natural facial expressions.

Results

Lifted contours, angle by angle.

Who may benefit.

This may suit you if you

  • Have mild to moderate facial sagging
  • Want improved jawline definition
  • Prefer a minimally invasive lifting option
  • Seek natural-looking rejuvenation
  • Wish to delay or avoid more extensive facelift surgery

What determines the plan

  • Your degree of facial sagging — mild to moderate is the stated range
  • Findings from your personalized facial analysis
  • Where descended soft tissue actually sits
  • Whether a more extensive facelift is more appropriate for your case
  • Your medical suitability for the procedure

Treatment recommendations depend on each patient's anatomy and goals. A consultation and examination are required.

Recovery

Recovery follows the extent of treatment.

Initial Healing

Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, and tightness may occur.

Extent-Dependent

Individual Healing

Recovery also varies with individual healing.

Structured Care

Postoperative care is structured around your procedure.

Your surgeon provides a recovery timeline based on the specific procedure rather than a single universal schedule.

About Your Surgeon

Dr. Son Hee-dong,
plastic
surgeon.

Tighten the skin and the face looks pulled. Support the SMAS and it looks lifted.

That is the entire argument for going deeper — and the reason a face can still move afterwards, which is what patients actually notice first.
