Thread lifting results,
How much do they help improve sagging?
Hello,
This is Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic.
When facial sagging starts to become noticeable,
one of the procedures people think of most often is
thread lifting.
When surgery feels too burdensome,
but simple skin care seems to have its limits,
many people wonder how much thread lifting can
help improve sagging.
In this post, we’ll take a look at
how thread lifting actually improves sagging,
and the range of results you can expect.

Why facial sagging happens
Facial sagging is not simply a matter of
skin elasticity.
As we age, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease,
and the soft tissue and fat layers that support them
move downward, leading to changes such as
cheek sagging, nasolabial folds, and a weakened jawline.
In particular, the midface and lower face are
areas that are strongly affected by gravity,
and skin care alone often has limits when it comes to
lifting structural sagging.
Thread lifting is classified as a procedure that
addresses this structural sagging directly.
The basic principle of thread lifting
Thread lifting involves inserting medical threads
into an appropriate depth beneath the skin to
physically support sagging soft tissue
and pull it upward.
As the threads themselves help anchor the tissue,
immediate lifting results can be expected, and over time,
collagen production is induced around the threads,
which indirectly helps improve skin elasticity.
In other words, thread lifting is a procedure in which
• an immediate pulling effect
• a reinforcing elasticity effect that appears over time
work together.

How much can thread lifting
help improve sagging?
Thread lifting is most effective for mild to moderate sagging.
If the cheeks have slightly begun to droop,
or the jawline has become less defined,
or the nasolabial folds are just starting to deepen,
many people feel a relatively noticeable improvement
with thread lifting alone.
However, if the cause of sagging is a very large amount of fat
or excessively loose skin,
thread lifting alone may not be enough,
and combining it with other procedures may be considered.
As such, the range of thread lifting results varies
depending on each person’s skin condition and degree of sagging.
Why thread lifting results look natural
Thread lifting is a procedure performed without incisions,
so it does not excessively remove or alter tissue.
Because of this, if the direction and strength of the pull are properly adjusted,
the expression does not become unnatural,
and the facial contour is improved in a more refined way.
In particular, with recent improvements in
thread structure and fixation strength,
thread lifting has become capable of providing a more
natural type of support rather than the feeling of forcibly
pulling sagging tissue upward.
Thread lifting
duration of results and individual differences
The effects of thread lifting are usually felt immediately after the procedure,
and then gradually stabilize over the following months.
The duration of results varies depending on
the type of threads used,
skin elasticity, and lifestyle habits,
but in general, improvement in sagging can be expected
for a certain period of time.
However, because the threads are slowly absorbed or loosen over time,
it is better to understand the procedure not as producing a permanent effect,
but as helping to reduce current sagging and slow the aging process.
When thread lifting may help
Thread lifting can be particularly worth considering in the following cases.
• When cheek sagging or nasolabial folds are gradually deepening
• When the jawline has lost definition and the facial contour has become blurry
• When you want to improve sagging without surgery
• When you want relatively fast recovery and a quick return to daily life
As such, thread lifting is a procedure used to refine facial contours
and improve the overall impression of the face,
from the early to moderate stages of sagging.

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure that
covers facial sagging,
but a method that structurally improves it by
supporting sagging soft tissue.
However, rather than expecting the same effect for every type of sagging,
it is important to accurately understand your own skin condition and degree of aging,
and then establish an appropriate treatment plan.
How much thread lifting will help can vary depending on individual conditions,
so before the procedure, it is most important to check and compare enough information
and choose what is right for you.
