Suture Lifting Q&A Part 4: What Is a Peach Thread?

One of the sutures mentioned most often in suture lifting consultations these days is

the ‘Peach Thread’ used in our hospital’s signature suture lifting, Peach Silhouette Lifting.

Many people ask, “What is a Peach Thread?” and “Is it different from Mint Thread?”

Today, I’ll explain exactly what Peach Thread is, its features, and how we use it at Just Plastic Surgery.

✔️ What kind of thread is the Peach Thread?

Peach Thread is a special lifting thread made from PDO (Polydioxanone).

However, it differs from conventional PDO threads in its design, direction, and results.

Structure: Fine, precise barbs (cogs) are arranged at regular intervals

Direction: Designed to make it easier to lift sagging tissue vertically

Function: Not just pulling, but also helping restore natural volume

✔️ Why ‘Peach’?

‘Peach’ comes from the idea of creating a natural, soft curve in the front cheek, like a peach.

In particular, it helps restore volume in the front cheek and nasolabial fold area, the central part of the midface, without making the cheekbone stand out excessively.

✔️ Peach Lifting at Just Plastic Surgery

At our clinic, we use this Peach Thread to perform a customized lifting procedure called ‘Peach Lifting.’

Pulls the front cheek vertically to shorten the proportions of the midface

Softens the nasolabial folds naturally and improves the overall impression

Carefully adjusts the direction and depth so the cheekbones do not look enlarged

No scars, with immediate improvement + long-term elasticity support

✔️ Duration and absorption process

Material: PDO

Absorption period: about 6 months

However, because collagen production is also stimulated after thread insertion,

the actual lifting effect often lasts about 9 months to 1 year.

This thread is very suitable for people whose skin is not thick

or who want a natural, soft lifting effect.

✔️ Recommended for people like this

People who want to improve a heavy, flat-looking midface and a tight, compressed impression

People who want a natural lifting effect that does not make the cheekbones look larger

People who want both volume restoration and lifting in the front cheek and nasolabial fold area

People who want a soft, refined result among PDO-type threads
