Natural-looking youth that lasts longer

Improvement must follow a precise understanding of the cause
Before any aging, our face features an abundance of collagen sustaining the skin and the subcutaneous fat layer, which is in turn held into place by the myofascial layer underneath.
Over time, the collagen level reduces and the fat increases: the balance is eventually broken, and the myofascial layer collapses as well. Once the myofascial layer loses its strength, it cannot be regained: on the outside, wrinkles take place and our skin starts to droop.
In the end, to fundamentally address facial drooping and wrinkling, the most important task is to restore the collapsed myofascial layer underneath the subcutaneous fat layer.

The elastic band strengthens the myofascial layer itself
Aging in the myofascial layer is the most fundamental cause of sagging and wrinkling in the skin. BANOBAGI uses elastic bands as a tool to strengthen the myofascial layer.
This special type of thread is designed by Italy’s Dr. Capurro, a top global figure in the reconstructive surgery field, and has great elasticity:
it fuses itself with the surrounding tissues in our body, functioning as a ligament.
This strengthens the collapsed myofascial layer itself and, therefore, is safe. In addition, the thread flexibly responds to muscle movement, creating natural-looking results. Another benefit is that only a small incision is required to introduce this type of thread: the procedure becomes less stressful, and the recovery is quicker.
Characteristics of the Elastic Band
-
High elasticity makes the band stretch at will -
Polyester is weaved around the band’s silicone core, resulting in higher tensile strength and more stable tissue fusion.
Surgeon’s capability means more effective results
To maximize the lifting effects of the elastic band, the surgeon needs to have accurate knowledge of the band, sufficient understanding and experience in each facial tissue type, and precise sensibility and techniques based on the previous two.
BANOBAGI has invited Dr. Capurro who designed the elastic band itself to learn his knowledge and skills in the procedure and is continuing the academic exchange even now. In addition, our antiaging specialist team has researched a method of elastic band application for Asian patients, based on their years of experience. This allows BANOBAGI to take full advantage of the elastic band and provide a more satisfying elastic band lifting.
BANOBAGI Elastic Band Lifting: More Effective
-
POINT 01Academic exchange with Dr. Capurro, creator of the elastic band
-
POINT 02Antiaging specialist team’s advanced sensibilities and skills
-
POINT 03Years of knowledge and experience in antiaging surgery that allows the surgeon to take the facial muscles into consideration: BANOBAGI aims for a fully individualized antiaging that puts you first.
BANOBAGI’s knowledge and experience bring elastic band into a facial lift
A facial lift is a procedure that involves an overall peeling of loose, wrinkly skin and removal of the excess skin. It is a relatively direct approach and, therefore, is effective and highly satisfying. However, the wide peeling area means that there will be tissue damage and a recovery period: this may be intimidating to patients.
BANOBAGI, based on its years of knowledge and experience, and with the assistance of an appropriate surgical material, the elastic band, has researched an incision-based elastic band lifting that is less intimidating.
Incision-Based Elastic Band Lifting
Correction of overall facial sagging and wrinkling
BANOBAGI’s Knowledge and Experience
-
Facial lift
that tightens sagging and wrinkling skin -
Elastic band
that conveniently strengthens the myofascial layer with minimal incision
Relatively convenient yet effective
Our incision-based elastic band lifting requires a smaller incision than existing facial lifts.
A minimal incision, for the elastic band to be introduced, is made; the band strengthens the collapsed myofascial layer; the loose skin is tightened as in regular facial lift; and the excess skin is removed.
This method reduces the area of incision and peeling, and because the remaining skin tissues are unharmed, there are almost no side effects, and it allows for a relatively faster recovery. At the same time, the strengthened myofascial layer gives a result that is as effective and long-lasting as a normal facial lift; and the flexibility of the elastic band gives a natural-looking muscle movement as well.
Advantages of Elastic Band Lifting(Incision-Based)
-
+ Reduced incision than existing face lift: faster recovery
-
+ Overall face effectiveness and longevity of an existing facial lift
-
+ Natural movement and flexibility of a ligament
-
+ Satisfying correction of sagging and wrinkling through vast surgical knowledge and experience

As the anesthetics wear off, pain may be experienced but will diminish over time.
Pain level during stitch removal or sterilization is that of a mild pinch.
Patients may experience mild tightness and numbness for a few days.
Patients may experience pain when smiling or opening the mouth widely for roughly two weeks after the procedure.

BANOBAGI’s knowledge and experience combine thread lifting and elastic band
Non-incision elastic band lifting is a procedure that corrects sagging skin as an existing thread lift but uses an elastic band. However, despite the same process, the difference in materials creates big changes in the effects and the goals of the surgeries.
Normally, a thread lift simply tightens the tissues under the skin using a thread. This offers a more temporary and superficial solution compared to improving the collapsed myofascial layer itself that is the root of all sagging skin. On the other hand, non-incision elastic band lifting affects the stretched myofascial layer itself, offering a more natural-looking improvement.
This means that the effects are longer-lasting than that of the existing thread lift, and that it can aim for a fundamental correction to sagging skin.

A natural-looking and effective lift: it even lasts longer
The greatest advantage of non-incision elastic band lifting is that it is an easier procedure than existing thread lifts, despite its greater effectiveness. Because it affects even the myofascial layer, it can provide a more fundamental improvement compared to the existing thread lift that simply tightens the under-skin tissues. In addition, the elastic band is bio-friendly and flexible: this removes post-surgery discomfort and gives you natural facial expressions. Moreover, the minimal incision reduces the pain and the recovery period. The procedure involves almost no tissue damage because it restores skin elasticity by tightening only the necessary areas.
These advantages allow non-incision elastic band lifting to be applied in various facial areas or combined with other procedures, resulting in a more effective antiaging.
