When looking into thread lifting, you may notice that reviews for the same procedure can be polar opposites.
Some people say, "The difference is definitely noticeable," while others say, "I just wasted my money."
If you have wondered where this difference comes from, this post will provide a clear answer.
We will explain exactly what standards lead to satisfying results and what you should обязательно check before the procedure.
What creates the difference in results
is not the type of thread, but the 'number of threads'

One of the questions we hear most often in the consultation room is this:
Are more expensive threads also more effective?
Isn't the type of thread used the most important thing?
That is not entirely wrong.

The material and type of thread also have a significant impact on the results.
However, before choosing the type of material, there is one essential factor that must be checked first: the number of threads.
The materials used for thread lifting have barbs that grip and pull up sagging skin.
Naturally, the more severe the sagging and the thicker the skin, the more threads are needed.
To make this easier to understand, imagine lifting a heavy load.
It is much more stable to lift it using several strands than to lift it with a single rope.


Similarly, if too few threads are used, there will not be enough force to support the skin.
This is why some people say, "The effect was minimal," even after undergoing the procedure.
Even when proven materials are used, it is difficult to expect results if the number of threads has not been properly planned.
In other words, before considering the type of material, the first standard for satisfying results is to check whether the clinic accurately determines the number of threads appropriate for your degree of sagging.
Why results differ even with the same material and the same number of threads

Even when the number of threads is appropriate, results can still differ.
This is because of the placement and angle.

At thread-lifting training sessions, fellow doctors often ask:
Why are the results different when we did the same thing?
Whenever this question comes up, my answer is the same.
The difference lies in how accurately the patient's face is assessed.
The direction in which sagging has progressed, skin thickness, and face shape all vary from person to person.
This is why placing threads in the same location and at the same angle can create natural lifting for one person but an unnatural pulling effect for another.


In particular, pulling only sideways on someone with prominent cheekbones may make the cheekbones stand out even more, creating the opposite effect.
This is also why it is necessary to design the direction in a way that avoids the cheekbone area while taking Korean facial structure into account.
Therefore, rather than simply pulling the skin, combining multidirectional fixation in a zigzag pattern can distribute the traction more evenly and may produce a much more natural change.
Swelling generally occurs immediately after the procedure, becomes most pronounced around days 2–3, and then gradually subsides.
Most people can return to their daily activities within a week, but for four weeks after the procedure, it is best to avoid yawning widely or chewing hard foods.
This is because it is the period when the barbs settle into the tissue.
To be honest, if you are seeking a change in appearance caused by bone structure or fat distribution rather than skin sagging, it may be difficult to achieve the results you want with thread lifting alone.
During the consultation, we also examine the direction of sagging and the condition of the skin in order to identify such cases in advance.




Even with the same thread-lifting procedure, the results can vary significantly depending on the number of threads planned and the direction of placement.
It is the principle of 글로비성형외과의원 to transparently explain both the possibility of side effects and the appropriate planning approach for each individual case.
If you would like to first find out whether you are a case in which results can be expected and which approach is appropriate, please feel free to contact us.
Based on an accurate diagnosis, we will work with you to find the approach that suits you.
※ Plastic surgery procedures may cause side effects such as inflammation, infection, bleeding, or asymmetry depending on the individual, so please make your decision carefully after sufficient consultation with a doctor.
