The Invisible Lift Program
Endoscopic Facelift Program with Small, Concealed Incisions—For a Younger-Looking You Who Still Looks Like Yourself
Many people think facial sagging is simply “loose skin” and that tightening the skin alone is enough. In reality, laxity develops across every layer of the face—from the skin and fat to the muscles and retaining ligaments that support facial structure.

What Is The Invisible Lift?
The Invisible Lift is a full-face endoscopic facelift technique developed by Dr. Jay, Head of the Facelift Procedure Unit at The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital.
“It is not about pulling the skin as tightly as possible. It is about understanding facial structure
and lifting at the appropriate position.”

Patient-Care Process
1
Assessment
A comprehensive assessment of every facial layer using Ultrasound for soft tissue and CT scanning for the bony structure
2
3D Simulation
A three-dimensional plan helps you preview the anticipated result, supported by AI-based facial-age analysis
3
Premium OR
High-definition endoscopic surgery supports precision and reduced blood loss. An anesthesiologist monitors you throughout the procedure.

Who Is a Candidate?
An assessment with Dr. Jay is required to select the approach that best suits each person’s concerns and facial structure.
Potentially Suitable Candidates
– People who want well-concealed incisions, a relatively short recovery,
and the ability to return to work as appropriate
and the ability to return to work as appropriate
People Who May Not Be Suitable
– People with facial skin laxity after previous facial liposuction
– People whose facial contours have been distorted by previous filler or liquid-injection procedures
– People whose facial contours have been distorted by previous filler or liquid-injection procedures
“It is not only about tightening the face.
It is about restoring the face’s golden proportions.”

Softer Nasolabial Folds
Addresses laxity arising from the deeper facial layers

Safety and Risks to Consider
Dr. Jay believes that an informed decision should include both the anticipated benefits and the risks that should be considered before surgery.
Hospital Standards
Performed in a hospital-standard operating room under continuous anesthesiologist supervision
Controlled Surgical Technique
Endoscopic technique and fibrin glue support effective bleeding control
Temporary Numbness
Temporary numbness is a recognized postoperative effect. It is generally not severe and often improves gradually within three to six months.
Reducing Nerve-Injury Risk
Facial nerve injury is uncommon. Choosing a specialist plastic surgeon with advanced endoscopic skill and technique helps minimize this risk.
Choose an Experienced Plastic Surgeon
Every patient has different concerns. An effective facelift therefore requires a surgeon with a deep understanding of anatomy who can accurately assess each facial layer
and avoid over-pulling. Safety and natural-looking results should never be compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions
A thread lift works within the skin and fat layers. The Invisible Lift reaches the SMAS, the face’s principal supporting layer, so results are designed to be longer-lasting and more natural-looking.
Results generally last an average of 5–15 years, depending on skin quality, surgical technique, postoperative care, and lifestyle.
Most people should rest fully for the first 5–7 days and avoid strenuous activity for approximately 2–4 weeks.
It is often considered by people who begin to notice laxity from their mid-thirties onward, but individual assessment is always required.
It may be possible in many cases. The surgeon must first assess the amount, location, and type of material previously injected.
The surgery is performed in a hospital-standard operating room under the care of an anesthesiology team.
These procedures may be assessed and planned together to create a more harmonious result across the face and neck.
