Thread Lifting Effects, Recommended Candidates, Duration, Frequency Q&A

Many people are interested in thread lifting because it can deliver visible results with a relatively simple procedure and quick recovery.

Many people have a basic understanding of how the face improves after thread lifting, but

more detailed information such as specific effects, recommended candidates, and the frequency of thread lifting

is probably not widely known.

In this connection, let’s briefly organize the questions many people have about thread lifting.

Can you only see the effects of thread lifting if you keep doing it regularly?

The sentence itself seems to be flawed.

If the procedure is performed with the right plan for a patient who is a suitable case for seeing surgical effects,

even a single procedure can produce results.

Thread lifting loses effect over time, so when the effect decreases, a repeat procedure is needed

to achieve the same result as before.

At our clinic as well, when we see people who visit regularly for lifting, they come in about once a year on average.

This is because the thread dissolves after about a year.

Since the lifting effect does not drop all at once exactly one year later,

there can be slight differences from patient to patient, such as some coming in before a year has passed, or after a year has passed.

How often should thread lifting be done?

Because the timing of lifting varies greatly from person to person, when to do it again after thread lifting

is best decided after observing the progress following the procedure.

Is a facelift only for middle-aged people?

To start with the conclusion: no.

Even people in their 20s who are worried about facial sagging after excessive dieting or bone procedures such as contour surgery undergo facelifts.

Of course, younger people would not usually come in thinking about a facelift from the start.

They would likely be considering a simple lifting procedure.

If it is judged that a relatively simple lifting procedure alone will not produce much of an effect, a facelift can be considered.

Therefore, with a facelift, it is possible to closely assess each patient’s facial condition and the degree of skin sagging through an in-person consultation.

Does thread lifting help improve all wrinkles?

This is one of the things many patients expect.

People would like to smooth out all wrinkles with thread lifting alone, but all lifting-related procedures and surgeries

do not smooth out every wrinkle; rather, when sagging tissues are pulled up, the improvement corresponds to those tissues,

and it can be difficult to smooth out everything.

Also, even if thread lifting produces an effect at first, if a lot of tissue remains above,

the result will not last no matter how much it is pulled, so a facelift is performed to remove the remaining tissue.

If you feel burdened by the scarring or recovery associated with a facelift, a mini facelift, which places less burden than a facelift, can be performed.

What is the age for thread lifting?

In the past, when people thought of lifting, there was a strong perception that it was about improving aging that had already progressed in older people,

but recently, as the perception of preventing aging has increased, people in their early 20s are also undergoing lifting procedures frequently.

Thread lifting does not have major age restrictions, but the cases in which it can be effective are clear.

If it is performed when it is not a case where results can be expected, you may feel that the effect is less than the effort and cost involved.

Therefore, rather than thinking there is a recommended age for thread lifting, it is better to think that there are recommended candidates for the procedure.

Who is thread lifting recommended for?

When the facial skin and skin tissues lose elasticity and gradually become more stretched, or

when the fat in the lower face has descended and rises when pulled up by hand, that person may be considered a candidate for lifting.

Rather than having an age restriction, it depends on the patient’s condition,

so even if someone is older, they can still be a suitable candidate if thread lifting can improve their condition.

Above all, it is very important for the medical staff and the patient to have an in-person consultation, touch the skin condition directly, check how much it stretches,

and determine how much improvement can be expected and whether the patient will be satisfied with the degree of improvement.

When can laser treatments be done after thread lifting?

Pigment treatments and most treatments using light or lasers can be performed after bruising and swelling have subsided.

However, for lifting-related procedures such as Ulthera, Shurink, and InMode, it would be better to avoid them for at least about 3 months.
