Signature Techniques: SMAS Facelift & Endoscopic Forehead Lift

At Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery, facial rejuvenation is both a science and an art. Dr. Choi uses a Full HD endoscopic system and his Secure Fixation Method to achieve long-lasting, stable results with minimal scarring.

The Gangnamseoyon Secure Fixation Method

Dr. Choi developed a Secure Fixation Method to address one of the biggest challenges in lifting surgery — long-term stability.

Firm Anchoring to the Periosteum – After lifting the skin and muscle, tissue is securely attached to the periosteum (the bone’s surface membrane) to prevent sagging.
Anatomical Customization – Using high-definition endoscopy, fixation points and angles are customized based on each patient’s facial structure.
Durable, Natural Results – The method ensures that the forehead and eyebrows maintain their position and elasticity over time, producing a youthful yet natural expression.
