If you’re deciding between a facelift and thread lifting

Hello. We are Reborn Plastic Surgery located near Sinsa Station. ^^

If you are reading this post, you are probably considering a facelift or thread lifting because your face has sagged due to aging.

But you may also be wondering which of the two would be better.

At Reborn Plastic Surgery, we confidently recommend 3-Step Temple Lift to people who have concerns similar to these.

This is because it is a relatively simple procedure compared to a typical facelift, while also compensating for the drawbacks of thread lifting.

However, not everyone can undergo the procedure.

We perform it only when, after a careful diagnosis of each person’s degree of skin sagging and wrinkles, we determine that it is appropriate.

We will explain the 3-Step Temple Lift in more detail below, so please read on, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact Reborn Plastic Surgery.

If a facelift feels too burdensome?

Skin sagging is a representative sign of aging.

Although it is an aging-related change, it does not appear only in middle-aged and older adults in their 40s and above; concerns about sagging can arise at relatively young ages as well.

This is because the causes of sagging vary and the speed at which it progresses also differs.

In addition to sagging caused by aging, skin sagging can also occur after contouring surgery, so people of all ages seek facelifts.

A facelift is a surgery that helps improve sagging by lifting the SMAS tissue beneath the skin.

The SMAS layer is located deep under the skin, and if the SMAS tissue in the area where sagging has occurred is separated and pulled, it can help restore the appearance to what it was before the sagging.

However, facelifts are among the most difficult surgeries. The incision area is also large, which can make scarring a major concern.

Of course, there are non-surgical methods such as thread lifting, but because there are limitations in terms of effect and how long the results last, it is true that choosing between them can be difficult.

One option to consider at this point is the '3-Step Temple Lift.'

What kind of procedure is the 3-Step Temple Lift?

At our clinic, we have repeatedly considered ways to reduce the burden of a facelift while compensating for the shortcomings of thread lifting.

First, for those who find a typical facelift too burdensome, we recommend the 3-Step Temple Lift, which is a relatively simple method.

The 3-Step Temple Lift is a procedure in which a small incision is made in the scalp near the temple, and the SMAS layer and sagging skin are pulled at the same time and finely sutured.

It can help improve fundamental skin elasticity as well as the surface appearance of sagging cheeks and the skin around the jawline.

If needed, thread lifting can also be performed together with it.

This method reduces the burden of a facelift while also compensating for the drawbacks of thread lifting.

In general, with thread lifting, the starting point of the threads is the 'upper ear' or 'in front of the ear canal.'

The purpose of thread lifting is to pull up sagging cheek skin as much as possible through this starting point.

However, there is a limitation in that only the area below the starting point of the threads can be lifted, and any remaining excess skin cannot be removed.

Because of this, the effect can sometimes be insufficient, and if too much lifting is done, the cheekbones may appear more prominent.

This may be desirable for Westerners who want more prominent cheekbones, but it can be a significant limitation for people in Korea.

On the other hand, if thread lifting is performed together with the 3-Step Temple Lift, lifting can begin from a point near the temple, higher than the usual thread insertion area.

You can expect a stronger and longer-lasting effect, and it can also help prevent the problem of thread lifting making the cheekbones look more prominent.

In the case of the 3-Step Temple Lift, the candidates are those who feel that a facelift is too burdensome but thread lifting is not enough.

If you want a relatively better effect than existing thread lifting, or if you feel something is lacking after a thread lifting procedure, you may consider the 3-Step Temple Lift.

It is also good for supplementing areas that remain insufficient even after a facelift.

However, not everyone can undergo it.

First, through sufficient consultation, we need to check whether your current skin condition is suitable for the procedure.

At Reborn Plastic Surgery, before the procedure, we carefully check each person’s skin condition through thorough consultation and inform them whether it is appropriate.

If there is a more suitable method, we may also suggest it.

If sagging is a concern for you, you are welcome to visit for a consultation.

Based on our experience helping countless people with anti-aging cosmetic surgery over the past 20 years, we will help you find natural beauty.

Thank you.
