For people considering thread lifting,

the word they search for most often before their consultation is

“side effects.”

Rather than wondering what effects they may see,

they often worry, “What if something goes wrong?”

We fully understand that concern.

The word “side effects” itself

can feel quite alarming.

However, not every change that occurs after the procedure is a side effect.

The normal recovery process and signs that definitely require confirmation are clearly different.

Waiting anxiously without knowing which is which, compared with knowing exactly how to respond, can make a significant difference in the outcome as well.

Today, we will clearly explain those standards.

Changes like these after the procedure do not require concern

Thread-Lifting Side Effects

“I looked in the mirror the day after the procedure, and my face looked so different that I was shocked.”

This is what people returning to the consultation room most commonly say.

Before that surprise turns into fear, let us first explain one thing.

Most changes that appear immediately after the procedure are temporary reactions as the body adapts to the threads.

Swelling is usually most severe on days 2–3 and gradually subsides afterward. During this period, it is also common for the facial contours to feel uneven.

The sensation of feeling the threads beneath the skin also naturally becomes less noticeable over time. An awkward-looking expression caused by the anesthetic effect on the day of the procedure usually returns to normal within a day or two.

Dimples, or localized depressions in the skin, also commonly appear.

They can be disconcerting at first, but they are not a dangerous reaction.

In most cases, they resolve when gentle massage loosens any tangling of the threads. Tiny needle marks remaining in front of the ears also disappear over time.

When we observe the skin reactions of people who visit our consultation room, these changes generally show noticeable improvement within one week.

The first few days are the most confusing, but accurate information allows you to focus on recovery without unnecessary anxiety.

For the three days when swelling is severe, apply a cold compress gently for 10–15 minutes at a time, and when sleeping, prop your head up higher than usual with a pillow so that the swelling does not pool downward. This can help speed recovery.

What you fear when you do not know, you can wait through when you do know.

This is what you must have checked

“It has been four weeks, but only one cheek is still indented. Is this normal?”

This is one of the most tense situations we encounter in practice.

Dimples generally resolve within four weeks. If one remains after that point, it may become adhered in place.

If left untreated, it may lead to a permanent depression, so rather than judging for yourself and continuing to wait, we strongly recommend visiting the clinic for an examination.

This is precisely why 글로비 обязательно checks the progress at the one-month mark.

Once the swelling has sufficiently subsided, if a dimple or unevenness remains, immediate action can be taken at that time.

It is extremely rare for a thread to be visible through or protrude from the skin, but if you feel that this may be happening, a specialist examination is necessary.

If you experience severe pain, warmth, and pronounced redness rather than simple bruising or swelling, the safest course is to visit the clinic without delay as an infection may need to be considered.

Many people also worry about repeated procedures, but when performed correctly, it is rare for the skin to become thinner or sustain significant damage.

Rather, the tissue that forms around the threads can serve as a support structure and help prevent sagging in the long term.

Ultimately, most of the side effects we see in practice depend on the timing of the initial response.

Knowing exactly which reactions are part of normal recovery and which are not is, in itself, the most reliable prevention.

Not every change that occurs after the procedure is a side effect.

However, if you cannot distinguish between them, you may experience unnecessary anxiety or, conversely, miss signs that require examination.

It is 글로비’s principle to provide honest guidance about the possibility of side effects and how to respond.

We recommend first confirming through a consultation what changes you can actually expect with your skin condition and what care plan is appropriate for you.
