Gangnam Thread Lifting

A Clinic That Follows the Principles of Plastic Surgery: 글로비성형외과의원
The most important thing in plastic surgery is following the fundamentals. Procedures should be planned with the patient's entire future in mind. Both the process and the results must be safe. 글로비 always puts patients first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help you feel satisfied with your results, we promise personalized consultations with medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience.
Post-procedure care can also be considered an extension of the procedure. We provide personalized care programs to help our patients recover quickly.

Many people come to plastic surgery consultation rooms

with similar concerns.

They feel upset that their face no longer looks the way it used to,

but are afraid of undergoing surgery and worry that

others might notice.

Thread lifting is a procedure that addresses exactly those concerns.

It can refine the facial contours by lifting sagging tissue

without incisions, making it one of the first options sought by people

who want a change without the burden of surgery.

However, even though it is a procedure rather than surgery,

approaching it too casually can lead to results that differ from expectations.

Who is it suitable for, and who may not be a good candidate?

How should you care for yourself after the procedure to help the results last?

Today, we will honestly go over these criteria first.

Why Lifting Is Possible Without Surgery

Gangnam Thread Lifting

It feels too burdensome to undergo surgery,

but it seems too saggy to simply leave it alone.

Whenever I hear these words in the consultation room,

I can sense how long these concerns have been present.

The longer you postpone making a decision, the deeper the sagging may become,

but the thought of undergoing surgery

still feels frightening.

Thread lifting is an option for people

who are looking for an answer somewhere between those two choices.

Fine threads are inserted into the dermal layer beneath the skin

without incisions, physically lifting sagging tissue.

The barbed structures on the surface of the threads catch and secure the tissue.

Because you can return to your daily activities on the same day

without scars, it can be a practical alternative for people

who want to minimize downtime.

However, when we directly examine the faces of people who visit the consultation room,

we find that even people of the same age respond differently because

skin thickness, the direction of sagging,

and fat distribution vary from person to person.

The effects tend to be most noticeable in people in their 30s and 40s

with moderately thick skin and less prominent cheekbones.

On the other hand, if skin elasticity has already declined considerably,

or if the excess skin itself needs to be removed,

it can be difficult to achieve the desired change with threads alone.

The same applies to people with prominent cheekbones

or excessive facial fat.

For such individuals, we adjust expectations

or honestly explain other possible approaches.

We believe that not recommending the procedure forcefully to someone for whom it is not suitable

ultimately leads to trust.

Post-Procedure Care: This Is Where Results Can Differ

Gangnam Thread Lifting

Isn't the procedure itself enough if it is performed well?

This is one of the questions we hear most often,

and it concerns us the most when we hear it.

That is because the factor with the greatest impact on the results

is your lifestyle during the following four weeks.

The barbed structures of the threads need a stabilization period

in order to firmly settle into the tissue.

During this time, yawning widely or repeatedly chewing hard,

tough foods can affect the threads' fixation.

To prevent the carefully performed procedure from being disrupted

by a small daily habit, 글로비 makes sure to explain

this point before the procedure.

The thing that surprises people most immediately after the procedure is dimpling,

which refers to localized indentations in the skin.

It is natural to feel anxious at first and think something has gone wrong,

but in most cases, it settles naturally within one week.

In one case, a patient returned three weeks later

because a dimple remained on one cheek.

After gentle massage was used to release the thread entanglement,

it improved within a few days.

If it remains even after four weeks,

it may become adhered in that position, so rather than judging for yourself,

it is safer to visit the clinic for an examination.

For the first three days, when swelling is most severe,

apply ice packs frequently at 10- to 15-minute intervals.

When sleeping, prop your head up with a pillow higher than usual

to prevent the swelling from settling downward

and help speed recovery.

You may wash your face starting the next day,

but avoid rubbing your face vigorously for one to two weeks.

It is safer to avoid perms and hair coloring for one month,

and to continue avoiding intense meridian massage after that.

Thread lifting is a practical way to create a change without surgery,

but its effects can only be fully realized when the procedure is planned

to suit your individual facial features and followed by proper aftercare.

It is 글로비's principle to transparently explain in advance

both the changes you may expect and the possibility of side effects,

as well as the precautions to follow.

Before going through trial and error based on incorrect information,

we recommend confirming through a consultation

what changes you can realistically expect in your current condition.
