If you’re hesitating because of thread lifting side effects at Sinsa Station...

Hello. We are Reborn Plastic Surgery, located near Sinsa Station. :)

These days, the weather is so dry that many people are struggling with inner tightness that not even moisturizing cream can fully relieve.

Especially once you pass your mid-to-late 20s, skin sagging becomes visible to the naked eye, so if you are sensitive about appearance, it is only natural to feel stressed.

Deepening nasolabial folds and the unattractive sagging above them, often called jowl fat, are also concerns for many people.

The lower face has a sunken area beneath the cheekbones, so fat tends to gather there, and sagging appears more quickly.

As a result, nasolabial folds may deepen, making the mouth look protruded or giving a stern impression.

One procedure worth considering in such cases is thread lifting.

Thread lifting uses a special product called a “thread,” so depending on its type, shape, and the number inserted, the strength and purpose can be carefully adjusted, making it usable across a wide range of ages.

Still, because it is a procedure that inserts a thread-like substance under the skin, many people are concerned about side effects.

Today, we’ll focus on that part.

Rather than only talking about the advantages, we’ll also clearly explain the limitations, so we’d appreciate it if you could read closely for a moment. :)

What kind of procedure is thread lifting?

The threads used in thread lifting are usually medical PDO threads.

PDO threads are considered safe enough to have been used in heart surgery for a very long time, and they are also widely used in recent years for suturing after surgery.

Depending on the product, they are divided into threads without barbs and threads with barbs.

Threads without barbs are mainly used to create minor damage in the dermal layer.

By regenerating collagen, which is the root cause of aging, they help improve skin elasticity and skin texture.

That is why they are often recommended for younger patients in their 20s and 30s who are not dealing with severe sagging but are concerned about fine lines, loss of elasticity, or enlarged pores.

On the other hand, threads with barbs can hook into specific areas of the skin and pull them upward, so more visible lifting can be expected.

Many people ask about the difference between this and lifting treatments such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, and laser. To answer that, device-based lifting must target at least about two-thirds of the skin area for treatment.

Also, because it induces contraction and collagen regeneration through the process of damaging the skin and then recovering it, it can be considered a more indirect method compared to thread lifting.

Thread lifting allows point-specific treatment in targeted areas, and visible results can be achieved with a single session, so surgical correction is easier than with device-based lifting methods.

That is why plastic surgery clinics often prefer thread lifting over devices.

However, because a foreign substance called a thread is inserted into the skin, if the doctor’s skill is insufficient or an individualized treatment plan is not established, it can cause various problems.

What are the side effects of thread lifting?

There may be slight swelling in the treated area during insertion, and depending on the patient, edema can also occur.

There are also cases where the color of the thread becomes visible externally or where it feels as if it is snapping.

PDO threads are usually bluish, and because they are inserted into the dermal layer, they may become visible on the surface if the skin is too thin or if a large number of threads are inserted.

So you should remember that detailed consultation with experienced medical staff who have performed many cases is necessary to help prevent such discomfort in advance.

Many people also worry that the thread may break, but in reality, thread breakage is rare.

The reason a popping sound may occur when opening the mouth or yawning is that the thread hooked into the tissue loosens slightly and then hooks again; it is not the sound of the thread breaking, so there is no need to worry.

However, if part of the barbs does not hook back into the skin, the force that pulls the skin may have weakened, so for about one month after the procedure, please avoid receiving strong facial massage or opening your mouth too widely!

Why do we manufacture and use our own threads?

Our clinic manufactures and uses its own threads. We use approved PDO as the ingredient, so there are no major issues with safety.

The reason we make and use our own threads is that currently available products are short in length, which sometimes causes fat to gather around the cheekbones.

If the thread is short, it naturally has to be inserted lower than the scalp, so when it is pulled, excessive force concentrates around the cheekbone area, creating a more pronounced appearance.

When the thread is longer, the insertion point can be placed higher, allowing the force to be distributed more evenly.

This improves natural-looking results and reduces the problem of the cheekbones appearing larger or more prominent.

As such, Reborn Plastic Surgery has been performing thread lifting for a long time and has accumulated a wide range of expertise. Through careful diagnosis, we recommend the procedure only to those who truly need it, so please feel free to visit us. :)
