Best Plastic Surgery Clinic on Garosu-gil: The Truth About ‘Thread Lifting Breakage’? (Ribbon Plastic Surgery)

"I went on a diet, but my facial fat has sagged and lost firmness, so I’m worried"

Are you perhaps looking for a good plastic surgery clinic on Garosu-gil because of concerns like the one above?

If so, I think the following article may be helpful.

Hello. We are Ribbon Plastic Surgery, meeting many patients at the same location near Sinchon Station Exit 1 since 2002.

When you think of aesthetic features, what comes to mind first?

Many people probably think of clear eye shape and a sharp nose bridge.

Of course, defined facial features are indeed one of the representative aesthetic elements.

In our busy daily lives, we often lose the chance to take care of ourselves.

Then, when we suddenly look in the mirror and find fine wrinkles on the skin or a blurred facial line without even noticing, even well-defined features can feel less meaningful.

In addition, if sagging skin is accompanied by prominent buccal fat and a double chin, the face may appear dull even without weight gain.

If the sagging is severe, some people may consider a surgical method such as a facelift, but among our visiting patients, there are also many who do not have severe sagging, are afraid of surgery, or are concerned about postoperative side effects.

In such cases, one option to consider is thread lifting.

Thread lifting, as the name suggests, is a procedure that uses medically safe threads (PDO) to improve loose, wrinkled skin and make it tighter.

Depending on each person’s degree of skin aging, sagging, and wrinkle condition, satisfactory results can be achieved by using specific threads.

Are you stressed by skin that keeps sagging day by day and a collapsed facial line?

If so, I think the following article may be helpful.

• What kinds of threads are used in thread lifting
• Thread lifting breakage: how should it be handled?
• What are the ways to avoid side effects from thread lifting?

I have organized these points in a Q&A format, and I hope the following article will help you find a good plastic surgery clinic on Garosu-gil.

Q. What kinds of threads are used in thread lifting? Many of you reading this article are probably curious about the threads used in thread lifting.

This procedure is mainly performed using PDO threads, which are medical sutures.

Depending on their shape, they can be broadly divided into "threads with barbs" and "threads without barbs."

Among them, threads without barbs are effective for improving skin elasticity by creating tiny injuries in the dermal layer and inducing the production of collagen, which is a fundamental cause of skin aging.

On the other hand, when threads with barbs are used, the thorn-like barbs stimulate the collagen tissue in the skin, making them effective for improving skin elasticity and wrinkles, so a lifting effect can be expected.

Through this process, not only overall skin elasticity but also thick buccal fat and a double chin can be improved.

Q. After the thread lifting procedure, do the threads break? Many people who visit Garosu-gil plastic surgery clinics are worried about "thread lifting breakage."

Of course, when yawning or opening your mouth wide, you may feel a snapping sensation, as if the thread has broken.

However, this can be a phenomenon caused by some of the barbs on the thread that were hooked in the skin tissue becoming loosened.

Therefore, the probability that the thread has actually broken is extremely low, so you do not need to worry too much about thread lifting breakage.

However, if some of the barbs loosen, the force that pulls the skin upward may have become slightly weaker, so it is better to avoid strong facial massage or opening your mouth wide for about a month after the procedure.

Q. Are side effects possible after thread lifting? Concerns about "side effects" are inseparable from all procedures.

The same is true for thread lifting.

However, PDO threads used in thread lifting have the characteristic of naturally breaking down and being absorbed over time.

Because of this, the burden of the procedure and concerns about side effects may be lower.

Still, like all procedures, the practitioner’s skill is extremely important in thread lifting as well.

In particular, if the skin tissue is pulled up excessively, a dimple-like depression may appear in the skin.

This is why a careful consultation and diagnostic process must come first before the procedure.

If you are planning a thread lifting procedure, please make sure to carefully review the information shared above and choose a plastic surgery clinic that provides enough consultation time.

Each person’s skin condition, skin layers, and concerns can vary greatly.

Accordingly, the surgical/procedural methods that can be applied may also differ.

At Ribbon Plastic Surgery, our goal is to provide plastic surgery/procedures that highlight each patient’s individuality and help meet their personal needs.

In addition, as a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience, I personally design only the surgery/procedure that each patient truly needs.
