Is Thread Lifting Effective Even at an Older Age?

Hello.

I’m Dr. Lim Seong-yoon, a plastic surgery specialist at Just Plastic Surgery, your personal plastic surgery doctor.

One of the questions I hear most often from patients who visit the clinic is:

“Is thread lifting effective even at an older age?”

To start with the conclusion: if the conditions are matched well, you can expect a meaningful improvement. Of course, the method and approach should vary depending on the skin condition and the degree of change you are hoping for.

If the skin is thick: thread lifting alone can be effective

Korean skin varies greatly from person to person,

but if the skin is thick and still has some elasticity left, thread lifting alone tends to show a fairly good response.

✓ If the skin is heavy or sagging, but the skin itself is firm:

→ The lifted contour can be maintained for a relatively long time with thread lifting.

✓ If there is a lot of fat:

→ The effect can be enhanced by combining it with supportive procedures such as liposuction or contour injections.

If the skin is thin and greatly stretched: a more precise approach is needed

The problem is when the skin is thin and already greatly stretched. In such cases, there is no need to give up on the possibility, but a more refined combination plan is needed.

✓ If the skin itself is abundant and has become stretched

→ A lifting procedure may be the most fundamental solution.

However, many people who actually visit the clinic have concerns such as:

“I'm afraid of incisions, and is there no way to improve it without scars?”

Just Plastic Surgery’s solution: combination threads + skin-strengthening procedures

For patients like this, I recommend the following combined approach.

1. Combined thread lifting

PDO threads and PLLA threads are used together to take advantage of different tissue stimulation and fixation strength.

→ This achieves a balanced combination of pulling power, longevity, and tissue regeneration effects.

2. Skin-thickness enhancement procedures

For those whose skin itself is thin, procedures that thicken the skin, such as Restylane Vital and Thermage, are performed together.

→ This helps maintain the lifted state more naturally and firmly.

3. Fillers or micro-fat grafting if needed

By adding volume to sunken areas, the overall impression is improved naturally.

Through all of these steps, it is possible to create sufficient improvement without an incision scar.

Conclusion: It is possible, but “customized planning” is important

Just because someone is older does not mean thread lifting is impossible or pointless. However, the treatment plan should be established by considering the skin condition, the degree of sagging, the level of change desired, and sensitivity to the presence of scars.

That is why I always say this: Accurate diagnosis and consultation from an experienced plastic surgery specialist are the most important.

If you want a natural and 부담 없는 improvement without incisions,

thread lifting is still a valid option. I will help you find the best method for your current condition.

Thank you.
