A double chin, sagging cheeks, and nasolabial folds.

There are more people than you might think

who are concerned about all three areas at once.

Trying to address each concern separately

can be a heavy burden in both cost and time.

As a result,

people start looking for a way to smooth things out all at once,

and naturally begin considering thread lifting.

But once you actually start looking into it,

you’ll find mixed opinions like “It works” and “It doesn’t,”

which can make it hard to know where to begin.

In today’s article,

we’ll look at how thread lifting affects each of these three concerns,

and who it is actually suitable for.

I hope this serves as a guide for making your own judgment,

rather than as an advertisement.

A double chin, sagging cheeks, and nasolabial folds,

can thread lifting address them all at once?

Gangnam Thread Lifting

This is one of the questions that comes up most often in consultations.

I’m worried about all three—

can thread lifting solve everything with just one procedure?

To be honest,

thread lifting can be involved in all three areas.

However, it is not accurate to say that it can “solve everything at once.”

That is because the causes of sagging are different for each area,

and depending on the cause, thread lifting may be effective in some situations

and not in others.

Sagging cheeks are the area where the effects of thread lifting

appear most directly.

When cheek fat descends and causes sagging,

it can be lifted with the traction of the threads,

and in this process, nasolabial folds often become softer as well.

Because the cheeks and nasolabial folds are structurally connected,

when the cheeks are lifted, the nasolabial lines often

become less noticeable too.

However, if the nasolabial folds are already deeply etched,

improving sagging alone has its limits,

and for those cases, it is more realistic to consider adding volume as well.

A double chin is a bit different.

Depending on whether the cause is fat or sagging skin,

the approach changes completely.

If fat is the main cause,

it is difficult to expect dramatic changes from thread lifting alone.

Deciding on a procedure without an adequate diagnosis

can do more harm than good,

so during consultations we place the highest priority on

identifying the cause.

Even with the same double chin,

it’s important to remember that completely different planning may be needed

depending on the cause.

Who is thread lifting effective for, and where are its limits?

Gangnam Thread Lifting

After hearing the explanations by area,

there is a question that almost always follows.

Then am I someone who can have it done?

This is also the moment in a consultation when we need to be the most honest.

That is because while it is certainly a procedure that can be effective for the right person,

it is not something that can be recommended equally to everyone.

The people for whom thread lifting is a good fit are fairly clear.

Those in their mid-30s to early 40s, with moderate skin thickness and sagging that is just beginning,

and those whose cheekbones are not excessively prominent

are often likely to see relatively good results.

When these conditions are met, the traction force of the threads

is not only delivered firmly to the sagging tissue,

but the process of the threads dissolving can also naturally encourage

self-collagen regeneration.

On the other hand, for those with very severe sagging

or excessively thin skin,

we advise caution.

When sagging is severe, it is difficult for the thread’s traction alone

to adequately support the tissue,

and if the skin is too thin, the outline of the threads may be felt at the surface

after the procedure.

Pushing this procedure on someone in such a situation is not Glovi’s approach.

In those cases, we believe it is right to first guide the patient toward a more suitable method.

Concerns about the cheekbones becoming more prominent also come up often.

If the same side-pulling method is applied as is,

the cheekbones may appear wider,

but if the threads are inserted while avoiding the cheekbone area,

this problem can be prevented.

On the day of the procedure, due to the effects of anesthesia,

your facial expressions may feel somewhat awkward.

Swelling tends to be at its worst on days 2 to 3,

but in most cases, within about a week,

you can recover enough to go about daily life.

During the recovery period, avoiding opening your mouth wide when yawning

or eating hard foods has a surprisingly large effect on helping the threads settle into place.

From a double chin to nasolabial folds,

each person’s concerns run to different depths,

but the key ultimately is whether “a plan suited to me”

has been created.

Whether thread lifting can truly be the answer for you begins

with a careful analysis of your current condition.

It is Glovi’s principle to transparently disclose the precautions and possible side effects

that patients need to know.
