Cheek Lift in Seoul, Korea
Cheek lift in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: Endotine midface lift raises sagging cheeks and softens tear troughs and nasolabial folds.
Typical ranges for cheek lift; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a cheek lift?
A cheek lift (midface lift) is surgery that raises sagging cheek tissue to restore fullness under the eyes and soften tear troughs and nasolabial folds. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons perform the Endotine midface lift using genuine, FDA- and MFDS-approved absorbable devices.
As the cheek fat pad descends, the lower lid looks longer, a hollow forms beneath the eye and the fold beside the nose deepens. The Endotine device holds the lifted tissue while it heals in place and then dissolves within about a year. The lift is stronger and longer lasting than thread lifting.
Who is a cheek lift for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Flattened or sagging cheeks
- Tear troughs and a hollow between lower lid and cheek
- Deepening nasolabial folds
- People who want midface rejuvenation without a full facelift
How a cheek lift is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon assesses cheek descent, lower-lid support and volume, and explains how a midface lift compares with fat grafting or a facelift.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Lifting the midface Through small incisions in the hairline or lower lid, the cheek tissue is released, lifted and secured on an absorbable Endotine device.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Endotine midface lift?
It lifts the cheek using an absorbable fixation device with small tines that hold the tissue in its new position. The device dissolves within about a year.
How is a cheek lift different from a thread lift?
A cheek lift releases and repositions the tissue surgically, giving a stronger, longer-lasting lift than threads, which are temporary.
Can a cheek lift be combined with lower eyelid surgery?
Yes, the two are often combined because lifting the cheek supports the lower lid and smooths the lid-cheek junction.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
The surgeon you consult with performs your surgery. Marble follows a surgeon-of-record policy with no substitute surgeons, and a board-certified anesthesiologist is on site full-time to manage anesthesia and monitoring.
