Hello
Recently, after getting thread lifting at other clinics,
more and more people have been coming in for thread removal consultations because they say things like
"The shape looks awkward," "I can feel the thread," and "My cheeks look uneven."
Today, for those people,
we will explain how thread lifting can be removed when it has gone wrong,
and how to tell whether a thread really needs to be removed,
along with our clinic’s actual treatment standards.
✔️ Thread lifting threads can be removed
Many people ask, "Once a thread is inserted, isn't it impossible to take it out?"
But if you know the exact location and structure, thread removal is entirely possible.
At Just Plastic Surgery Clinic, in particular,
the tissue layer and direction where the thread is anchored,
the shape of the cog, and the type and composition of the thread
are anatomically identified first,
and then the thread is removed safely without unnecessary tissue damage.
✔️ This is how removal is performed
Thread removal is not always a surgery that requires a large incision or leaves a major scar.
✅ If the exact location and depth of the thread can be identified,
✅ removal is possible through the existing opening or with only a 1–2 mm micro-incision.
There is no need to make a long skin incision
or leave a linear scar,
because we know how to safely remove the thread,
💡 which is a major advantage in that thread removal can be done without worrying about scarring.
✔️ Threads that need removal vs. threads that can be left alone
Not every thread needs to be removed.
If the thread is being naturally absorbed inside the body,
or if it does not affect the appearance of the skin,
there is no need to remove it.
When patients visit, we check the condition of the thread and classify it as follows:
| Classification | Description | Recommended approach |
|---|
| Removal needed | Lumpiness, pulling, asymmetry, protrusion, inflammation, etc. | Remove as soon as possible |
| Removal to consider | The thread can be felt, but it does not significantly affect appearance | Selective removal or observation |
| Removal unnecessary | Being absorbed inside the skin, no discomfort | Can be maintained without removal |
📌 At our clinic, we do not remove threads indiscriminately without an accurate diagnosis.
Even if a patient requests, "I just want it removed,"
we first check the thread’s location and condition,
and identify cases where it does not actually need to be taken out.
✔️ Actual removal procedure video
We will show how the thread is found and how removal can be done through such a small incision
through an actual treatment scene.
If you have had a thread lifting procedure,
please be sure to check it out.
✔️ Thread removal is recommended for these people
👆 People whose cheeks are uneven or who are bothered because they can feel the thread
👆 People who developed asymmetry after treatment at another clinic
👆 People who feel pulling in a specific area when smiling or speaking
👆 People whose thread is protruding or has caused inflammation
In closing
Thread lifting is not always a procedure that fails,
but if it is performed by someone who is not an experienced doctor,
and the location, direction, or skin layer of the thread is not accurately understood,
the procedure can lead to undesired results.
At Just Plastic Surgery Clinic,
we have not only the know-how for lifting effects,
but also the expertise to safely resolve issues when they arise.
If you feel that thread removal is necessary,
please do not decide too quickly,
and be sure to first have the thread’s location and condition checked.
