You may be looking into thread lifting because you are worried about facial sagging and wrinkles.
However, at the same time, you may be concerned after hearing that the cheekbones can become more prominent after the procedure and wondering, “What if that happens to me too?”
Today, we’ll explain a way to help address the issue of cheekbones appearing larger after thread lifting and how you can hope for a more satisfying result.
We’ll be sharing this directly from Ribbon Plastic Surgery, which has been performing anti-aging cosmetic surgery for over 20 years!
Hello. We are Ribbon Plastic Surgery, here to bring you natural charm and beauty!

Ribbon Plastic Surgery has been performing thread lifting procedures for over 20 years and has helped patients with a wide variety of cases.
These days, as demand for thread lifting has increased, more and more related information is being posted online.
As you know, thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that inserts a medical PDO thread into the skin to physically pull and lift sagging areas.
Many people are looking into it, but there are also many who worry that it may cause foreign-body discomfort or make the cheekbones stand out.

At our clinic as well, we have long continued to think and research because of these limitations of thread lifting, and as a result, we developed a method called the "3-Step Temple Lift."
This method combines thread lifting and a temple lift, supplementing the shortcomings of existing thread lifting and facelift surgery, and it incorporates our clinic’s own know-how. ^^
You may feel resistant to the word lift, but the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, does not require gauze or dressing after surgery, and you can expect to return to your daily life right away.

So why does the cheekbone appear more prominent after thread lifting?
During the procedure, threads with barbs called cog threads are usually used, and depending on the product, the barbs are located about 7 to 8 cm from the end. In fact, this is quite short compared to the original thread length.
When strong lifting is needed, the thread is inserted in the front area where it affects the hairline less, that is, right next to the cheekbone, and then anchored near the nasolabial folds for lifting.
So when the areas needing lifting are located in the lower part of the face, such as the nasolabial folds or deep cheek area, the tissue can be pushed toward the cheekbone area, making this part look especially prominent.
To prevent this, Ribbon Plastic Surgery custom-produces and uses threads that are much longer than ordinary cog threads.
With this thread, the lift can extend beyond the cheekbones and up to above the hairline, allowing for a more natural and stronger lift without making the cheekbones stand out.

You can think of the 3-Step Temple Lift as combining a temple lift with our clinic’s thread lifting procedure. As mentioned earlier, by combining simple temple lifting with thread lifting, you can expect a stronger and longer-lasting lifting effect.
Of course, either thread lifting or temple lifting can be performed on its own, but whether to do one alone or combine them may vary depending on each person’s current skin condition and degree of sagging.
Some people may also worry about scars after a lift surgery. At our clinic, to reduce concern about scars, we perform the incision in a way that preserves the hair follicles.
Simply put, hair can grow back in the area even after surgery, so there is less concern about scarring.

Another advantage is that it can help prevent the cheekbones from appearing prominent while still offering results, and it can also help overcome the limitations of the existing maintenance period and effect of thread lifting, allowing you to hope for a more satisfying result.
Also, compared with a general facelift, which tends to involve swelling, bruising, and a long downtime, the 3-Step Temple Lift has a very fast recovery.
In truth, it is somewhat difficult to compare its effect directly with that of a general facelift. However, you can think of it as a method that helps supplement the shortcomings of ordinary thread lifting.
If you usually want a procedure using threads but are looking for a larger and longer-lasting effect, if you have had a procedure before and want to improve weak results, or if you still feel something is lacking even after a facelift and want to supplement it, the 3-Step Temple Lift may be worth considering.

Ribbon Plastic Surgery is a clinic that has long researched and performed various anti-aging cosmetic procedures, including thread lifting and facelifts.
After reading this post, some of you may want to get the 3-Step Temple Lift right away. However, please don’t rush—first visit the clinic and have a thorough consultation with the head doctor.
We will carefully examine various factors such as each person’s facial contour, skin, degree of sagging, treatment area, and age group, and based on that, we will tell you whether the 3-Step Temple Lift is suitable.
