People who have had thread lifting for the first time

sometimes say this when considering a repeat procedure:

Please do it exactly the same way as last time.

At first glance, this may sound like a natural request,

but in fact, these few words can cause the results

to deviate significantly from expectations.

The skin changes little by little each time it undergoes a procedure,

and if the same method as before is repeated

without reflecting those changes, the desired effect may not be achieved.

Today, along with the reasons for this, we will also organize

the criteria for taking a different approach each time.

Please spare just three minutes.

Why the environment beneath the skin changes

as procedures are repeated

The results were good after the first procedure,

so why does the effect feel less noticeable the second time?

This is a question we hear quite often in the consultation room.

To be honest, when first encountering this question,

many people may assume that it is simply

a “subjective issue caused by the patient’s expectations being too high.”

However, when we actually examine the condition,

in most cases, the environment beneath the skin itself

has changed.

After thread lifting, the tissue around the threads hardens

and adhesions form.

Although this may commonly sound like a side effect,

these adhesions instead serve as

a support structure for the skin.

If the first procedure involves directly lifting the tissue with threads,

from the time of a repeat procedure onward,

the tissue that has formed in that area itself

acts as a supporting structure.

However, this adhesive tissue can also gradually harden

the paths through which the threads pass.

If threads are inserted along the same paths as before during a repeat procedure,

increased tissue resistance can make it difficult for the threads

to settle accurately in the desired locations.

This is why repeating the same method

can make the effect feel less noticeable.

In cases where patients visit us because of insufficient results

after repeated procedures, we often find that adhesions

are concentrated in particular areas.

In such cases, designing a new direction while avoiding the existing paths

can lead to more satisfactory results.

It is not that repeat procedures are ineffective in themselves.

The problem is repeating the exact same method as before.

The current condition of the skin and the extent of the adhesions

must first be assessed precisely, after which the type and path of the threads

must be redesigned.

before a repeat procedure

Then what should be viewed differently

when having a repeat procedure?

As mentioned earlier, changing the path is key,

and to do that, we must first determine

how the face has changed by now.

That is why this process must always come before

changing the number or type of threads.

Your face at the time of the first procedure

is not the same as it is now.

As time passes, the fullness of the cheeks settles downward with gravity,

and areas such as the jawline or beneath the cheeks

that initially seemed fine may become more noticeably sagging.

For example, even if nasolabial folds were the concern in the past,

the areas around the mouth or the jawline

may now require more immediate attention.

If these changes are overlooked and threads are placed in the same locations

based solely on past data, the areas that need lifting right now

may remain unimproved.

There is one more thing that needs to be considered.

Skin that has undergone repeated procedures may, due to reduced elasticity,

make the threads feel closer to the surface.

If the insertion depth is kept the same, the skin surface

may appear uneven after the procedure,

so the depth must also be adjusted.

Although it may seem minor, this detail determines

how natural the results look after the procedure.

For people with adhesions that have formed over an excessively wide area,

or those whose skin elasticity has already declined considerably,

the range of results that can reasonably be expected from thread lifting

may be limited.

We explain this honestly during the consultation.

Rather than saying that anything is unconditionally possible,

글로비’s approach has always been to accurately explain

the results that can realistically be expected

based on the current condition.

Ultimately, the correct order is to first assess the changes in your current face

and then newly design an approach suited to them

in order to achieve safer and more satisfactory results.

If you are concerned because the results differ from those in the past,

it may be time for a new design suited to your current skin condition.

Please feel free to visit us at any time and carefully assess

the “current condition” of your face first

together with our experienced medical professionals.
