Looking 'sagging' isn't simply a matter of age. It's a structural phenomenon — the repositioning of fat pads, skin, and muscle layers under gravity over time.
Sagging is structural
From the 30s onwards, facial fat pads migrate downward and the skin and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer begin to descend with gravity. Techniques that only pull the skin surface produce temporary results. True lifting corrects the structure underneath.
NB Circle Lift approach
NB's New Circle Lift is a minimally invasive lifting surgery that uses a specially designed semicircular needle and non-absorbable suture to place the suture in a loop at the level of the SMAS layer and lift sagging tissue. Its surgical method differs from a general thread lift, and it is also distinct from a traditional facelift that involves extensive dissection. Incisions are limited to minimal incisions of about 1–1.5 cm in the temporal area and behind and below the ear.
Comparing non-surgical options
Thread lifts, HIFU, and radiofrequency improve skin elasticity effectively, but have limits when the structural descent is significant. In consultation, our surgeon will guide you on whether non-surgical, surgical, or a combination approach is right for your current condition.
