 ◆ What is Elastic Lifting?

Elastic Lifting is a type of thread lifting that uses elastic threads instead of inelastic kind that is commonly used. The result of elastic liftig is very stable and natural yet, the incision is minimized and recovery is very fast that you almost have no downtime. The damage to tissue is reduced and it delivers a natual result that does not interfere with making facial expressions.
