Hello, we’re from Flexible Doctors. Ah.... Doctor, people have recently become very interested in thread lifting and face lift surgery, right? Yes. Please give us a brief explanation. When your face is drooping,

you may start to seriously consider thread lifting and lifting surgery. Thread lifting refers to a pulling operation that uses thread. There’s also face lift surgery. These are the two face lift procedures that are well-known for pulling the face. People may think it’s easier to go through thread lifting, so what type of surgery is required for that?

In simple terms, thread lifting is an operation that uses thread. We actually use a lot of thread with projections now. Both the thread and the name change each year, so doctors and patients get confused. In the end, if a procedure uses thread, you can think of it as thread lifting. Um... So, you said you haven’t been doing

thread lifting recently. Is there any special reason? With thread lifting, there’s no way to cut out the pulled tissue on the face. It's just pulling. The thread diminishes the ability to cut which means the face will start to sag again.

For that reason, I don't use thread lifting very often. You said the thread loses its function, right? It's a very important part, and we now call it the “cheese cutting” impact. It’s easier to understand if you watch the reference video. Our faces are slightly softer due to our facial muscles and fascia.

Your face moves every time you make a facial expression, right? So, even if an area is attached with thread, moving will occur if you make an expression like this. Our faces make tens of thousands expressions a day. No matter how well the doctor hangs and fixes things, moving will occur bit by bit because of natural movement.

This will eventually put force on the tissue. It basically disappears. This is what we call the “cheese cutting” impact. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of face lift surgery? The advantage of face lift surgery is that it directly cuts off the SMAS layer and skin.

If we pull it, we need to cut it out and sew it to make your face look straight and pretty. As the stretched skin is cut and sewn, the skin needs time to stretch before it goes back. The downside is that compared to thread lifting, the incision line is a bit longer,

and recovery is not as quick. When you do face lift surgery, you need to know about hemostasis, If you use the proper hemo-static technique, there won’t be as much swelling or bruising, which can really shorten the recovery period. There’s a scar-like part in the corner, so there is tension there, right? If that doesn’t work well,

surgery can be done to make sure it won’t hurt. That's right. People have already received thread lifting because of accessibility... Is it okay if I proceed with facial surgery? Oh, that's a great question. When I operate, seven out of ten patients have thread on their face.

I like to remove any thread that is visible in the operating room. I can remove thread without difficulty. Even if there are dozens of threads, the removal time should only be about 10 minutes. Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining things well. Doctor, many people have also asked

about revision face lift surgery. I’ll ask you about that in the next episode. Yes, sure. Thank you.
