If you have had thread lifting even once,
you may have thought about this at least once.
You were satisfied right after the procedure,
but the effect disappeared sooner than expected,
leaving you wondering,
'How can I keep this firmness for longer?'
Many people look into thread lifting as an extension of that concern.
In this article, I will honestly organize two things centered on
what actually determines the maintenance period of thread lifting,
and what should be prioritized first if you want to increase the density of the effect.
If you are considering the procedure for the first time,
or if you are preparing for a repeat procedure,
you will gain criteria that fit your own case.
What determines the maintenance period is separate
Gangnam Thread Lifting
Doctor, I had it done 6 months ago,
and it already feels like it has loosened.
Is it supposed to end this quickly?
This is something we often hear during repeat procedure consultations.
And whenever we receive this question,
the first things we check are
how the thread was placed,
and how you spent the 4 weeks after the procedure.

The maintenance period of thread lifting depends on how long and how firmly the thread holds the tissue.
If a thread that pulls in only one direction is used,
the tissue gradually loosens over time,
and the thread may slowly shift.
On the other hand, if threads with bidirectional or multidirectional barbs are combined and placed in a zigzag pattern,
the contact area with the tissue becomes larger,
and the fixation strength lasts longer even with the same material.
This is why how the thread is designed and placed has a more direct effect on the maintenance period than the type of thread itself.

Next is the 4 weeks after the procedure.
This 4-week period is the time needed for the thread's barbs to firmly settle into the surrounding tissue.
During this period, opening your mouth very wide when yawning or repeatedly chewing hard foods can disrupt thread fixation,
and the same goes for massages with strong pressure.
Washing your face is possible from the day after the procedure,
but you should avoid rubbing your face hard for 1 to 2 weeks,
and swelling usually peaks on the third day before gradually subsiding.
Pain varies from person to person,
but in many cases it eases within about a week.

This is also why we check the progress separately at the one-month mark.
If dimpling or unevenness remains after the swelling has completely gone down,
we provide immediate massage-based correction on the spot.
If this is left untreated, that shape may become fixed in the skin tissue,
so detailed correction at an early stage is very important.
The density of the effect is determined by your skin
Gangnam Thread Lifting
Doctor, you said you used a good thread,
and the number was sufficient,
but why do I feel the effect less?
When this question comes up, the first thing we check is skin regenerative capacity.
The effects of thread lifting are divided into two axes.
There is the lifting effect, which pulls up sagging tissue immediately after the procedure,
and the regenerative effect, in which collagen gradually builds up in the surrounding tissue as the thread dissolves and elasticity is restored.
The lifting is handled by the thread,
and regeneration is handled by your skin.
But as we age,
this regenerative speed becomes noticeably slower.
Even with the same thread and the same number of threads,
the way it feels can differ between someone in their early 30s and someone in their mid-40s.
That is exactly why.
For people in their early to mid-30s, whose skin elasticity is relatively good,
general thread lifting alone is often sufficient.
On the other hand, if you are over 40 or have noticeably reduced elasticity,
you can also consider a method that rebuilds the skin environment itself.
One representative method is injecting SVF (stromal vascular fraction) separated from adipose tissue into each area where the thread was placed.
Because this is a way to fundamentally improve skin tissue damaged by aging,
it is effective when combined with thread lifting.
Adding this kind of ingredient does not mean that swelling or pain will be worse than with a standard procedure.
The recovery process itself proceeds almost the same as ordinary thread lifting.

If thread lifting precisely pulls up the sagging fascia layer,
SVF (stromal vascular fraction) strengthens the foundation by rebuilding aged skin tissue.
In other words, it pulls from the outside and fills from within,
allowing you to achieve both lifting and anti-aging at the same time.
In this way, when it is added on top of a solid design and well-managed condition,
you are more likely to feel that the density of the effect is different.
In the end, before choosing a procedure method,
what stage your skin is in,
and how you manage the 4 weeks after the procedure,
determine the final outcome.
It is the principle of Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic to transparently provide information,
including the possibility of side effects.
If you would like to check which design is right for your case,
please feel free to leave a consultation inquiry.
Without trial and error caused by incorrect information,
checking the exact plan that fits your condition is the wisest start.
※ Depending on each individual's skin thickness, degree of sagging,
and lifestyle habits, the maintenance period and effect may vary.
