Lifting procedures have become very common these days.

You can get them easily almost anywhere, but the results are never the same.

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure that inserts threads,

because it is a field where a doctor’s anatomical experience, sense, philosophy, and craftsmanship

are directly revealed in the outcome.

I, Director Im Seong-yoon, would like to share why I have put my sincerity into lifting procedures

and why so many people visit me.

1️⃣ A doctor who has directly seen and worked with what is “under the skin” for 20 years

(blepharoplasty · microsurgery · revision surgery · facelift)

As a board-certified plastic surgeon,

I have surgical experience working extensively with structures under the skin,

including blepharoplasty, revision eyelid surgery, microsurgery, and facelifts.

🔍 Experience of actually feeling the movement of the area around the eyes, midface, ligaments, fascia, and fat layers with my hands

This experience makes a decisive difference in thread lifting.

※ Lifting is not simply about inserting threads.

You have to know exactly which layer the thread is anchored in, the direction it is pulling, and the structures being lifted

to achieve lifting that leaves no scar, no bruising, looks natural, and lasts a long time.

Based on this hands-on surgical experience,

I have thought more than anyone else about

“where and how should we lift to make a person’s face look beautiful?”

2️⃣ Someone who is truly devoted to anti-aging

(especially having invested more than 8 years focusing on non-incisional and non-invasive lifting)

I truly love anti-aging. Among it, I have focused for more than 8 years on “thread lifting,”

which leaves no scar, allows quick recovery,

and can preserve the face’s natural structure.

✔️ Approaching thread lifting like surgery ✔️ Designing based on actual surgical experience ✔️ Confident that the midface can sometimes look more naturally beautiful with thread lifting than with surgery ✔️ Finding, through many cases and experience, “what kind of face looks the youngest”

I have thought more deeply about this field than anyone else,

and those years are now leading to today’s results.

3️⃣ Top 3 in actual material purchases for 3 years —

The medical team that used the most “Premium Silhouette Soft” threads

I am extremely careful even when choosing a single thread material.

✔️ Which thread works most efficiently in which layer ✔️ How the collagen production response occurs ✔️ In which face shape which thread works most “beautifully”

To do that, I personally tested various threads over the years,

and as a result, I became the doctor who has used Silhouette Soft (premium thread) the most.

(Top 3 in total hospital purchases over 3 years)

Because I choose “threads that produce good results,”

the results are also natural and long-lasting.

4️⃣ In-house thread testing reflecting the director’s know-how → scheduled for commercial release soon

(preparing supply to other clinics and export overseas)

Based on years of clinical experience,

I developed a lifting thread that reflects my own direction and design philosophy,

and it has now completed final testing.

✔️ Scheduled for domestic release soon ✔️ Supply to other clinics ✔️ Preparing for export to overseas clinics

I believe that reaching the stage of not just “using” threads,

but researching, developing, and creating them,

is the result of my effort, persistence, and craftsmanship in lifting.

5️⃣ To create a youthful look even outside the clinic:

#Developing lifting tapes, bands, and home care products

To make it easy for patients to care for themselves in daily life,

I have consistently produced and launched lifting tapes and lifting bands,

✨ Why Should You Get a Lifting Procedure from Director Im Seong-yoon? (feat. Craftsmanship · Philosophy) image 5 ✔️ A new “Peach Lifting Band” for nasolabial folds will also be launched soon. ✔️ Although it is a home care product, it contains real anti-aging philosophy and mechanisms.

These are products made with the philosophy:

“I want patients to become more beautiful at home, too.”

6️⃣ Preparing to introduce APTOS (new premium thread)

I am carefully analyzing the advantages of APTOS threads, which will become a new standard in anti-aging,

and researching to find the optimal indications.

I do not use even a single thread carelessly.

I only introduce it when I can take responsibility for the results.

7️⃣ Great affection for nasolabial folds and jawline lifting

Nasolabial folds are one of the most difficult areas in anti-aging. I have studied this area longer than anyone else, and it is also a key area I consider first when designing a lifting plan.

✔️ Midface volume shift ✔️ S-shaped ligament line ✔️ SMAS directionality ✔️ Changes in nasolabial fold depth depending on thread direction

I design by calculating all of these factors.

8️⃣ “Threads are like drawing on a blank sheet of paper”

That is why the director’s experience and direction are most important

Unlike other procedures, thread lifting is not a procedure with a single correct answer.

Like drawing on a blank sheet of paper,

it is a highly difficult procedure that fully reveals a doctor’s aesthetic sense and experience.

Even when using the same material, ✔️ How many threads are inserted ✔️ Which layer they are anchored in ✔️ How the pulling direction is set ✔️ How the overall facial structure and aging pattern are read

These differences determine 90% of the result.

There is inevitably a big difference in outcomes between doctors with extensive clinical experience and those without it.

9️⃣ Why there are many return visits and referrals

Thread lifting is honest, especially with discerning patients. If it is good, they come back; if it is not good, they do not return.

Many people who come to me say: ✔️ Return visits ✔️ Referrals “Among the many thread lifting procedures I’ve had, this place was the best.”

I think these words prove the path I have taken.

🔟 For lifting that leaves no scar, recovers quickly, and lasts a long time

“Following the standards of a board-certified plastic surgeon”

In thread lifting, I consider the following three things most important.

  1. There should be no scar
  2. Recovery should be fast
  3. The effect should be good

In addition, as a specialist,

  1. It must truly exist (a definite result)
  2. It must last a long time
  3. It must maintain the optimal condition through interim reinforcement

I strictly adhere to these standards.

🧭 In an era of 100-year lifespans, appearance is a competitive advantage

And it is also an important language that shows who you are. I perform lifting procedures with craftsmanship and philosophy

so that you can look younger and live with more confidence.

It is not simply about inserting threads,

but about designing your future face together.

Going forward,

I will continue to remain a doctor who studies and develops “techniques for looking younger.”

Thank you.
