When considering male thread lifting,

there is one phrase we hear most often:

“I had it done, but I didn’t notice much of a difference.”

What is interesting, however, is that even the same procedure

can produce completely different results.

This is because there are far more variables that determine the outcome

than may appear on the surface, including the type and number of threads

and the method of insertion.

In particular, men and women differ in skin thickness and

tissue density, so approaching the procedure in the same way

can make it difficult to achieve the expected changes.

In this post, I will honestly summarize what we have directly observed

during consultations: where these differences come from,

and in which cases the procedure may not be suitable.

Male skin: Why can the results differ with the same threads?

Male thread lifting

I’ve heard that because men have thicker skin,

the effects of thread lifting are weaker.

Is that true?

That is not entirely incorrect.

However, it would be more accurate to put it this way:

If the characteristics of male skin are not properly understood

before performing the procedure, the results may fall short of expectations.

Men’s skin has a thicker dermal layer than women’s,

as well as a higher density of subcutaneous fat.

It does not respond easily to an ordinary amount of pulling force.

Therefore, in procedures for men, the tensile force of the thread

becomes a key variable that determines the outcome.

Tensile force determines how firmly the barbs on the thread—

that is, the projections—grip the skin tissue

and pull it upward.

Threads with more barbs and stronger fixation

are more likely to create a visible change

even in thicker tissue.

Conversely, threads without sufficient tensile force

may initially appear to create a lift,

but they tend not to withstand the weight of the tissue,

and the effect may disappear quickly.

Of course, choosing the thread alone does not solve everything.

The insertion angle and location must be designed

according to the direction and degree of facial sagging,

and a sufficient number of threads must also be used.

Only when this design is properly coordinated

can you expect changes such as a more defined facial contour

and lifted sagging lines.

One more point to add:

If the skin sagging is excessively severe or the skin has

lost a significant amount of elasticity, it may be difficult

to achieve the desired results with thread lifting alone.

We tend to explain this honestly during consultations.

The greater the gap between expectations and the actual results,

the lower the eventual satisfaction with the procedure is likely to be.

Can you go to work the day after the procedure?

Can I go to work immediately the day after the procedure?

I really don’t want it to be too noticeable.

To be honest, going to work the next day is possible,

but it may not be comfortable.

Swelling is usually at its worst two to three days after the procedure

and then gradually subsides.

Men tend to have thicker skin tissue and a richer distribution of blood vessels,

so bruising may appear more prominently.

Of course, recovery varies from person to person,

and some people recover relatively cleanly.

However, for those who say, “I’ll have it done over the weekend and go to work on Monday,”

we generally recommend allowing yourself a more comfortable amount of time.

It is realistic to allow approximately five to seven days

for the swelling to subside enough that outdoor activities

are not significantly uncomfortable.

You may wash your face starting the next day,

but there is one thing you must be especially careful about:

rubbing your face with a towel.

It takes approximately two weeks for the thread barbs

to become fully settled in the skin tissue.

Before then, repeated external pressure

may disrupt the fixation.

After washing your face, we recommend gently pressing with a towel

to absorb the moisture.

Although it may seem like a small difference,

one such habit can have a greater impact than expected during recovery.

You should also pay attention to your sleeping position.

For one month, avoid sleeping face down,

and sleeping with your head slightly elevated on a higher pillow than usual

may help manage swelling.

Please also make sure not to miss the one-month follow-up examination

after the procedure.

If dimpling, in which the skin appears sunken,

remains at this point, it can be corrected with a simple massage,

but if left untreated, it may adhere and remain that way.

This is why Glovi includes a one-month follow-up examination

as a standard part of the process.

Thread lifting is often determined more by the planning before the procedure

and care after the procedure than by the procedure itself.

For men in particular, if the thread selection and planning of a sufficient number

are not based on the characteristics of their skin,

the same procedure can lead to completely different results.

Glovi Plastic Surgery Clinic makes it a principle to provide realistic information first,

including the possibility of side effects.

If you are wondering whether thread lifting is suitable for your case

or which approach would be appropriate,

please feel free to contact us at any time.

※ Temporary side effects such as infection, inflammation, pain, bruising, swelling,

thread visibility, and dimpling (skin depression) may occur after the procedure.

A thorough consultation and examination with a specialist

are therefore necessary before the procedure.
