Sagging jowls and nasolabial folds are among the 대표적인 features that make a person look older, and one of them is the marionette line.

"Marionette line?"

Some of you may not be familiar with the term.

Marionette lines refer to deep wrinkles that run diagonally downward from the corners of the mouth.

Because their shape resembles a Western marionette doll, they are called marionette lines.

Since the line continues downward from the corners of the mouth, the lips can appear sagging and the expression can look sharp.

Most of all, they make you look much older.

Why marionette lines appear

In fact, marionette lines are a natural part of aging.

They occur as collagen is lost, elasticity decreases, and fat sags downward or diminishes.

Also, the area around the mouth moves frequently when eating or making facial expressions.

Because of this, wrinkles can easily form.

For this reason, they can also appear in relatively younger people.

If wrinkles appear simply because the area moves a lot or collagen has been lost, the issue may be improved by restoring elasticity with lifting devices, laser devices, or fillers.

However, when marionette lines are caused by sagging jowls or sagging tissue around them, simply adding volume is difficult to solve the problem.

It needs to be addressed through lifting that raises the sagging area.

Thread lifting Thread lifting, unlike lifting with laser devices, can physically lift the directly responsible area.

However, unlike a facelift surgery, it does not involve an invasive surgical procedure, so the downtime is relatively short.

Taking advantage of these benefits, many people seek thread lifting.

Thread lifting is a procedure in which harmless threads are inserted into the skin and hooked in place, then pulled to induce an immediate lifting effect.

You can see immediate results without feeling the burden of surgery.

In addition, the threads used recently are mostly special medical products.

They have the property of naturally dissolving over time, and during that dissolving process, they also stimulate the surrounding tissue and help collagen production.

In particular, Ribbon Plastic Surgery has developed and uses Ribbon Threads, which combine the advantages of existing threads while eliminating their drawbacks.

They use only ingredients approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, making them safe, and they are made longer than ordinary threads, which can help prevent the side effect of the cheekbones appearing wider.

With conventional threads, the threads were inserted and pulled from the outer side of the cheekbone, so the force was concentrated on the cheekbones.

However, Ribbon Threads are longer, allowing insertion from a higher point and enabling the force to be distributed more effectively.

In addition, the insertion point is hidden by the hair, so it does not show immediately after thread lifting.

There are also dedicated threads specialized for wrinkles by area, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls, which were difficult to achieve with conventional threads, allowing for more precise treatment.

This can be an excellent solution, especially for those concerned about marionette lines.

Design

For thread lifting, the threads used in the procedure are important, but the design is even more important.

It is not enough to simply hook the sagging tissue and lift it upward.

To achieve the desired effect, the balance of the face and the direction of the wrinkles must be carefully considered during the procedure.

Of course, 충분한 consultation time with the doctor is essential.

In addition, there are many details to consider, such as which areas to pull, how to adjust the pulling force, and how deep the procedure should be performed.

The skill and experience of the practitioner are more important than anything else.

If these factors are not properly considered, side effects can occur, such as threads becoming visible or rippling, where the treated area becomes uneven.

In addition, dimpling may occur, leaving indentations in the skin.

Because of these side effects, some people undergo the procedure again to have the inserted threads corrected.

Thread lifting is especially effective for point lifting in specific areas.

Whether it is the nasolabial folds, jowls, or marionette lines, it can focus on the areas that concern you most.

However, the direction and degree of aging differ from person to person, and each individual also has a different skin type.

So if you are worried about wrinkles and aging on your face, especially marionette lines around the mouth, please visit Ribbon Plastic Surgery at Sinsa Station.

We will help you find the optimal lifting method suited to your skin type and your face’s current condition.

Thank you.
