Precautions after thread lifting

Hello,

This is Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic.

When consulting about thread lifting,

we often hear the question:

After having thread lifting once,

when should I get it again?

Thread lifting provides an immediate lifting effect

while also inducing collagen regeneration

over time, so setting an appropriate treatment interval

has a major impact on the naturalness and longevity of the results.

Today, we will summarize the recommended thread lifting interval

and the 기준 for deciding the spacing.

The process by which the effects of thread lifting appear

Right after the procedure, thread lifting gives a pulling sensation,

and you can immediately see the change as the sagging tissue

is reorganized upward.

After that, collagen production is stimulated around the threads,

and the process of improving skin elasticity and density gradually continues.

In general, the effects of thread lifting appear as follows:

• The immediate lifting effect begins right after the procedure

• The collagen regeneration effect appears gradually over about 1 to 3 months

Therefore, it is important to set the interval between thread lifting procedures

with this process fully in mind.

Recommended thread lifting procedure interval

① General recommended interval for thread lifting

Thread lifting is usually considered for retreatment every 8 to 12 months.

This is a standard based on a comprehensive consideration of

the thread absorption rate and the collagen maintenance period.

If this is your first thread lifting procedure,

after observing the point at which the effect gradually decreases,

it is advisable to plan the next procedure

at the appropriate time.

② Adjusting the interval according to skin condition after thread lifting

• If skin elasticity remains relatively good

→ A 9- to 12-month interval can still provide sufficient maintenance.

• If sagging progresses relatively quickly

→ Bringing the interval slightly forward to 7 to 9 months may be helpful.

• If aging progresses quickly or elasticity loss is pronounced

→ In the early stage, management at relatively short intervals can be considered,

followed by gradually lengthening the maintenance interval.

Why the interval between thread lifting procedures

should not be too short

Thread lifting is not a procedure that is better when repeated

in a short period of time.

Because time is needed for sufficient collagen to form

and stabilize around the threads,

if the interval is too short, the burden may be greater

than the benefit.

Also,

• unnecessary tissue stimulation

• unnatural appearance caused by excessive pulling

• repeated recovery periods

for these reasons, maintaining an appropriate interval is most important.

Precautions after thread lifting surgery

Main factors that affect the thread lifting interval

① Type of thread used

Depending on the material of the thread, such as PDO, PLLA, or PCL,

the absorption period and collagen retention vary.

If a thread with longer-lasting support is used for thread lifting,

the procedure interval can naturally become longer.

② Procedure design and fixation method

More important than the number of threads in thread lifting

are the direction and fixation points tailored to the facial structure.

When an effective thread lifting design is made,

the interval until retreatment can also be maintained more stably.

③ Lifestyle habits and facial expressions

Frequent facial movements, sleeping habits, and weight changes

directly affect how long thread lifting results last.

Managing lifestyle habits is also an important factor

in determining the thread lifting interval.

Who should definitely have a consultation

• If this is your first thread lifting procedure

• If the effect lasted for a short period after the previous procedure

• If the pattern of facial sagging is changing quickly

• If you are planning thread lifting for the long term

In these cases, it is good to set a reasonable procedure interval

through regular condition checks.

There is no single correct answer for the thread lifting interval;

it varies depending on individual skin condition, aging speed,

and the procedure method.

In general, it is ideal to use an 8- to 12-month interval as a 기준,

while flexibly adjusting it by considering changes in effect and skin response.
