For Facial Volume and Prominent Cheekbones

I Recommend a ‘Facelift’

( Nasolabial Folds, Marionette Lines, and Jawline in a Woman in Her 50s)

Thread lifting has become very popular these days.

However, in certain cases, I recommend a facelift over thread lifting.

This is especially because people with prominent cheekbones or somewhat fuller facial features may find it difficult to achieve satisfactory results with thread lifting alone.

Thread lifting involves pulling the underlying tissue upward without removing excess tissue.

Therefore, when there is a lot of tissue in the face, the lifted tissue can gather around the cheekbones, making the face look wider or uneven instead.

A facelift involves pulling and securing sagging tissue upward and removing excess skin.

This can make the face look slimmer overall and create the appearance of a smaller face.

In particular, people with hollow cheeks may also see natural improvement through a facelift, as pulling up the sagging tissue can fill out the area without fillers or fat grafting.

A facelift is especially effective for people such as women in their late 50s who dislike the feeling of facial tissue sagging downward with age, as well as those concerned about nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and a sagging jawline.

When people hear “facelift,” they naturally tend to worry about scarring.

However, the incision is designed to be hidden inside the hairline or along the boundary in front of and behind the ear, so that it is not easily visible from the front.

The length of the scar that is actually noticeable is not as long as you might expect.

In most cases, the scar remains in a location that is easily concealed by the hairstyle.

In addition, the excess skin is removed gently so that excessive tension is not placed on the skin after surgery. Care is taken to ensure that the scar is less noticeable and heals naturally.

Retaining ligaments help firmly anchor the facial tissue to the bones.

With thread lifting, these retaining ligaments can interfere with the movement of the threads, potentially worsening cheek hollowing or making the threads visible through the skin.

A facelift, however, directly releases these retaining ligaments and loosens the tissues that had been holding them firmly in place.

As a result, areas that appeared hollow or uneven can be improved to look smoother.

A facelift does not simply pull the skin; it also improves the structural aspects of the face.

Because it releases retaining ligaments in the deeper layers and repositions the tissue, it can provide a more fundamental and longer-lasting result.

Many people also worry that their facial expressions may become awkward or unnatural after surgery.

However, a good facelift prioritizes a natural appearance so that facial expressions do not feel uncomfortable.

Pulling the tissue too aggressively can make facial expressions look awkward, so it is important to naturally reposition the tissue.

After a facelift, I recommend periodically combining the procedure with Botox or skin treatments to care for the skin’s texture.

This can further maximize the surgical results and help maintain a youthful appearance for longer.

In particular, when the cheekbones are prominent or the face has fuller features,

I would like to emphasize that a facelift may be more effective than thread lifting,

and that a facelift can make the face look smaller and slimmer while minimizing scarring.

I hope this helps you make a wise choice.

Thank you. 😀
