Lifting and body contouring at Marble Plastic Surgery
The lifting method at Marble depends on how far the tissue has descended: mild laxity is handled with thread lifting or volume restored by fat grafting, while significant sagging with excess skin needs a face lift or endoscopic forehead lift for a durable result.

Facial lifting
Thread lifting raises tissue along a designed vector with quick recovery but a temporary result; Accu Sculpt uses laser to melt superficial fat under the chin and jawline; Triangle Lifting and the endoscopic forehead lift work on deeper tissue layers and therefore last longer.
Body and breast contouring
Liposuction is judged by how evenly the fat layer is left rather than by how much is removed; a post-pregnancy abdomen with excess skin needs a tummy tuck; and the harvested fat can be grafted to the hips or face in the same session.
Related procedures at Marble Plastic Surgery
Thread lifting
Absorbable threads lift the nasolabial folds, jowls and sagging cheeks while stimulating collagen. It takes about 30 minutes and normal activity resumes the same day.
Facial fat grafting with stem cells
Fat from the thigh or buttock is mixed with stem cells and layered thinly across the face, improving graft survival and restoring youthful volume and contour.
Accu Sculpt laser contouring
A 1444 nm laser melts localised fat under the chin and along the jawline while tightening the underside of the skin, sharpening the contour with a tiny incision and short downtime.
Endoscopic forehead lift
Lifts the forehead, brows and heavy upper lids in one operation through small hairline incisions with an endoscope, reaching the subperiosteal plane while keeping scars hidden.
Face lift
Repositions the sagging SMAS layer and skin, correcting deep folds, nasolabial lines and jowls in one operation — for patients whose non-surgical options are no longer enough.
Triangle Lifting (Endotine midface lift)
Marble's signature lift raises the under-eye area and midface together with an absorbable Endotine fixation device; new tissue forms at the lifted position, so the result lasts.
Liposuction
Targeted liposuction of the thighs, abdomen, waist, arms or double chin. Removing fat cells themselves slims the body line and lowers the chance of fat returning in the same spot.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Excess abdominal skin is removed and separated abdominal muscles repaired — for post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss laxity where liposuction alone is not enough.
Hip-up (buttock contouring)
Creates an S-curve hip line with the patient's own fat or an implant, contouring the waist and thighs at the same time for a natural side profile.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does thread lifting last?
- Typically one to two years, depending on thread type, the number of threads and how lax the skin was to begin with.
- Can fat return after liposuction?
- The removed fat cells do not come back, but the remaining cells can enlarge if weight increases, so the shape can still change.
