Not a pulling lift, we lift by structure
New Circle Lift grips the SMAS layer with a semicircular loop, supporting sagging tissue as a plane rather than a line and lifting it naturally.
Why It Feels Heavy
A heavy-looking face isn't only about the skin
As we age and SMAS-layer support weakens, the cheeks and lower face descend, making the face look heavy and tired.
Cheeks have sagged and nasolabial folds have deepened
The jawline has blurred and the face looks wider
Even after thread lifts, the hold felt short-lived
Sagging Type Map
Is my sagging a New Circle Lift indication?
Mid-face sagging
When the cheeks descend and the nasolabial folds deepen, making the front of the face look heavy
Early jowls · blurred jawline
When the mandibular contour turns hazy and the cheek-to-jaw transition becomes blunt
Mouth corners · marionette sagging
When the mouth corners drop and the lower face sags, giving a tired impression
Sagging that thread lifts couldn't handle
When even repeated fine threads gave short-lived hold and lacked support
Structure & Mechanism
The principle of supporting by structure, not by lines
It's a planar lifting vector, not linear traction
01
SMAS-level design
We design the support structure at the SMAS layer level, not at the skin surface. It is fundamentally different from pulling only the superficial layer.
02
Semicircular closed loop
A semicircular loop is formed at the pre-auricular cheek area to wrap tissue as a plane, not a point. Being a closed structure, force is not concentrated on a single point.
03
Pre-auricular vertical vector
Adding a vertical lifting force along the front of the ear supports the lower face against gravity.
04
Via retaining-ligament structure + non-absorbable suture
Fixation passes through a firm support structure and uses a permanent suture in combination, aiming for stable support that does not loosen easily.
How It Works
We don't insert many threads — we design a single structure
Sagging direction · vector design
We analyze the direction and depth of sagging to design an individual lifting vector.
Ultrasound layer · thickness check
We check the layers around the SMAS, tissue thickness, at-risk structures, and the entry plane.
Precise plane entry
We enter precisely into the support plane at the designed SMAS level.
Semicircular loop formation
A closed semicircular loop path is created at the pre-auricular cheek area.
Vertical lift · fixation
After lifting along the vertical vector, it is anchored to the support structure and secured for a natural finish.
Ultrasound-Based Planning
Not threads placed by feel — we check the layer and design
With ultrasound we check the layers around the SMAS, tissue thickness, at-risk structures, and the entry plane. Because we design the loop position and vector to match your individual anatomy, the stability of the result differs even for the same procedure.
The Difference
Conventional cog threads vs New Circle Lift
| Category | Conventional cog-thread lift | New Circle Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation method | Inserts multiple lines and pulls | Plane support via a semicircular loop |
| Lift vector | Linear traction | Planar lifting vector |
| Support structure | Relies on the thread's own tension | Via a firm retaining-ligament structure |
| Suture | Mostly absorbable | Designed with a permanent suture in combination |
After the Lift
A lower face refined naturally, not overdone
We aim for a soft cheek-to-jaw transition, a refined jawline, and a brighter mouth-area impression. Results and duration may vary from person to person.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from conventional thread lifts?
Unlike inserting fine threads in several directions to pull along lines, New Circle Lift wraps and supports tissue as a plane with a semicircular loop structure. It passes through a retaining-ligament structure and uses a non-absorbable suture in combination, aiming for more stable support.
How long does it last?
It is designed with a non-absorbable loop structure to strengthen support, but duration varies from person to person depending on tissue condition, degree of sagging, and lifestyle. Some loosening may occur over time, so permanent maintenance is not guaranteed.
What kind of sagging is it suited for?
It may be suitable for mid-face sagging, early jowls with a blurred jawline, mouth-corner sagging, and lower-face sagging where conventional thread lifts lacked support. The exact indication is determined by consultation and diagnosis.
How is it different from a facelift?
A facelift is a surgical method that corrects by incising and dissecting skin and SMAS, whereas New Circle Lift supports with a loop structure without incision. Which is appropriate depends on the degree of sagging and is determined first by consultation.
Can it be combined with filler, Botox, or ultrasound lifting?
When sagging and volume loss occur together, a combined design may be considered. Whether and in what order to combine is decided in consultation based on your individual condition.
What about recovery, swelling, and pain?
It is designed with a special semicircular needle to reduce tissue damage, so swelling and bruising tend to be relatively mild, but recovery speed and the degree of swelling/pain vary from person to person.
Why check the layers with ultrasound?
Instead of inserting threads by feel, we use ultrasound to check the layers around the SMAS, tissue thickness, at-risk structures, and the entry plane, in order to design according to your individual anatomy.
