AB Plastic Surgery to host Korea-Brazil live facelift exchange on Nov. 7

AB Plastic Surgery and TRM Korea will stage a live Korea-Brazil surgical exchange in Seoul on Nov. 7, highlighting endoscopic facial lifting and fixation methods used in the so-called Ponytail Lift. The event underscores growing international interest in less visible, tissue-lifting facelift techniques and the clinic’s push to refine them for Korean and overseas patients.

Why it matters: - Endoscopic facial lifting is drawing more global attention as patients look for facial rejuvenation with smaller scars and a less over-tightened look. - The Seoul exchange is aimed at sharing real-time surgical judgment on how to lift and secure midface tissue, not just presenting a lecture. - AB Plastic Surgery is positioning itself around genuine fixation devices and technique selection, which the clinic frames as key to safety and outcomes.

What happened: - AB Plastic Surgery and TRM Korea will host a Korea-Brazil Surgical Exchange on Nov. 7 in Seoul. - AB Plastic Surgery’s Dr. Choi Jae Ik and Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Igor Brazioli Slivinskis will take part. - Dr. Choi will perform the live surgery. - Dr. Igor will join in the operating room to exchange views on midface lifting, repositioning and fixation. - The event is designed as an in-room surgical collaboration rather than a stage presentation.

The details: - Endoscopic facial lifting uses small incisions hidden largely within the hairline. - The technique uses an endoscopic camera to lift and reposition deeper facial tissues, especially around the cheeks and midface. - For suitable patients, the approach is intended to reduce sagging cheeks and a tired or heavy appearance while keeping incision lines less visible. - During the live surgery, Endotine Ribbon will be used in the fixation strategy for repositioned midfacial tissues. - The fixation plan is based on Dr. Choi Jae Ik’s surgical plan. - AB Plastic Surgery says patients should evaluate surgeon experience, tissue fixation methods, surgical safety systems and the use of genuine medical devices when considering a facelift. - Endotine is a bioabsorbable fixation device used to support stabilized soft tissue during certain facial lifting procedures. - AB Plastic Surgery says it determines lifting and fixation methods based on facial anatomy, the degree and direction of tissue descent and each patient’s surgical needs. - The clinic says it has been recognized as one of South Korea’s top five medical institutions nationwide for Endotine usage across three consecutive recognition periods.

Between the lines: - The exchange reflects a broader push to internationalize technical know-how in facial rejuvenation, especially between Korea and Brazil. - AB Plastic Surgery is presenting the use of authentic devices and individualized planning as differentiators in a crowded cosmetic surgery market. - The focus on fixation technique suggests the clinic sees long-term support of repositioned tissue as central to results, not just the lift itself.

What’s next: - AB Plastic Surgery and TRM Korea plan to expand academic exchanges with medical professionals from other countries. - The organizations say they want to continue refining facial rejuvenation techniques for Korean and international patients. - Future collaboration will center on clinical experience, international exchange and the use of authentic medical devices.

The bottom line: - The Nov. 7 Seoul event is both a live surgical demonstration and a signal that endoscopic facelift techniques are becoming a more global, competitive specialty.
