There is one thing that people considering thread lifting

often say first in the consultation room.

How can I tell whether a clinic is truly good at it?

When you actually search, every clinic seems to be filled with similar information,

making it difficult to find

the standards you are personally looking for.

In this article, we will honestly explain the factors

that make a difference in results in actual treatment settings.

What type of threads are used,

how the facial structure is analyzed,

and even in which cases

we do not recommend the procedure.

After reading for just three minutes, you may no longer be swayed

by the phrase “a clinic that is good at it.”

It Is the “Combination Method,” Not the Number of Threads, That Determines the Results

One of the questions we hear most often in the consultation room is this:

How many threads do I need to get proper results?

The number does matter.

But to be honest,

there is something else that should be considered first.

That is the direction of the threads

and how they are combined and inserted.

In thread lifting, the “traction threads”

that pull up sagging skin using barbs

are what directly create the lifting effect.

However, inserting these traction threads in only one direction

causes the effect to weaken sooner than expected.

This is because the skin is constantly affected by gravity

and moves continuously in various directions whenever we make facial expressions.

To address these limitations,

rather than finishing with a single bidirectional thread,

we also combine it with multidirectional fixation threads

arranged in a zigzag pattern.

It follows the same principle that securing a heavy load

with intersecting support from multiple directions, like a net,

lasts much longer than tying it with a single line.

Because the procedure is performed with this level of precision,

it is also important for patients to have a transparent understanding

of the realistic recovery process after the procedure.

Swelling is usually most severe on the second or third day after the procedure

and subsides within a week in most cases.

When sedation is used alongside the procedure,

pain is barely felt during treatment,

and afterward, a feeling of soreness

usually continues for several days.

However, regarding the return to daily life,

light face washing and going to work are possible the next day,

but strenuous exercise and lymphatic massage

should preferably be postponed for four weeks after the procedure,

until the threads have fully settled into place.

Why Results Differ Even When the Same Threads Are Used

— “Direction Planning” and the Criteria for Declining Treatment

The next question naturally follows:

Then how do you determine the direction?

No one’s face is completely symmetrical from left to right.

The direction of sagging, skin thickness,

and the distribution of fat layers also differ subtly.

For this reason, treating both sides in exactly the same way

can instead lead to a result

that makes asymmetry more noticeable.

For example, if the position of the right cheekbone

is slightly higher than the left,

pulling both sides at the same angle

could make the asymmetry more apparent.

Therefore, in such cases, the angles on each side

must be planned separately to achieve balance.

There is one more point we would like to address.

Since thread lifting originated in the West,

following the textbook method exactly

usually means pulling in a lateral direction.

While this may look natural with Western facial structures,

for Koreans, whose cheekbones are relatively wider,

it can instead make the outer cheekbones more prominent,

leading to an unnatural result that makes the face look wider.

Designing the thread directions differently to avoid the cheekbone area,

and first assessing differences in the left and right facial structures

before determining separate angles,

are not details found in a standard manual.

There are also cases where this type of planning is not necessary.

For people whose skin is so thin that the threads

are likely to be felt at the surface,

or whose primary concern is volume loss rather than sagging,

another approach may be more suitable than thread lifting.

For such patients, we do not recommend the procedure;

instead, our principle is to guide them

toward a more appropriate option.

The results of a procedure are not determined by the day of treatment alone.

Which threads were selected,

how precisely the facial structure was assessed,

and how thoroughly the post-treatment progress is managed—

all of these steps build upon one another and affect the outcome.

It is the principle of 글로비성형외과의원 to transparently disclose

the possibility of side effects and precautions,

and to be honest when a procedure is not suitable for a particular case.

Please accurately confirm whether thread lifting is suitable

for your facial structure,

and, if it is suitable, which approach should be planned for you.
