How Can You Maintain a Smooth Line for a Long Time After Thread Lifting?

Hello. We are Re:本 Plastic Surgery, meeting you at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station.

"I’m worried my skin will sag again once the threads dissolve."

Thread lifting is an immediate lifting procedure that inserts dissolvable threads into the dermis beneath the skin to pull up sagging skin.

Compared with procedures using laser devices, its noticeable effects appear quickly, and because it is less burdensome than facelift surgery, it is popular with many people.

In general, PDO threads used for lifting are safe threads that have long been used even in heart surgery.

These threads slowly break down in the skin, and during that process they help collagen synthesize well within the skin, which helps increase skin elasticity.

Thread lifting is recommended for the following people.

Everyone has different degrees of skin sagging and different directions and speeds of aging.

Because each person’s concerns and the causes of those concerns are different, we are always careful when directly recommending the procedures needed.

That said, we often recommend thread lifting for those who have sagging skin and want an immediate change.

Of course, at our clinic, before proceeding with treatment, we first check whether the procedure is possible through a skin suitability test before making a decision.

In particular, if you have concerns such as the following, you can expect even more satisfying results from thread lifting.

• The face has sagged noticeably, making the jowls protrude, or the nasolabial folds and marionette lines have become noticeably deeper.
• You want noticeable results from a single procedure.
• You want to improve sagging in a specific area rather than the entire face.
• You want to achieve lifting and collagen regeneration effects at the same time.

Thread lifting retention period

In general, the effects of thread lifting are most clearly visible within 3 to 4 months after the procedure.

After that, the results can last as little as 6 months and as long as 2 years.

The duration, whether side effects occur, and the degree of change vary from person to person.

These differences are influenced by the current condition of the person’s skin and the degree of aging.

However, the type of thread used, the doctor’s skill, and the design also have a major impact.

In particular, there are many different types of threads used in the procedure.

Therefore, to expect satisfying results, the appropriate thread should be selected and the treatment plan should be established by comprehensively considering facial shape, skin elasticity, age, and more.

It is important not to consider age alone, but to perform the procedure according to the current condition of the skin.

Thread lifting precautions

Recently, there have been many dissatisfaction cases caused by one-size-fits-all thread lifting.

If thread lifting is performed like a factory process using one product and one method while ignoring each person’s individuality, it will not produce the desired results.

In addition, there is a need for special caution because it can expose patients to various side effects such as hollowing of the cheeks, prominence of the cheekbones, skin puckering, and thread visibility.

To prevent these problems, thorough individual pre-consultation is essential.

At Re:본 Plastic Surgery, medical staff with extensive procedure experience conduct the consultation directly and perform the procedure after calculating everything from the type of thread to the treatment area and lifting intensity.

To perform thread lifting properly, a suitable treatment plan must be established according to skin condition and skin type.

For example, for people with thin skin, it is better to use thinner threads for delicate lifting.

If a thick thread is used on thin skin or too much pressure is applied, the skin may become distorted and produce awkward results.

It is also important to judge the degree of sagging and the nature of the skin.

If the skin stretches easily, the result may differ from what was expected, so the approach must be cautious from the design stage.

To carry out the procedure while considering these aspects, one must have not only extensive experience in thread lifting but also a sufficient understanding of human anatomy.

When choosing a plastic surgery clinic, patients should carefully check these points and look into the medical staff’s experience and know-how through consultation.

Re:본 Plastic Surgery has been performing lifting procedures for over 20 years, and to address the limitations of existing threads—such as prominence of the cheekbones, short retention periods, and minimal effects—we manufacture and use our own threads with ingredients approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

In particular, existing threads are short in length, which can cause the cheekbones to appear more prominent.

Re:본 Plastic Surgery’s "Ribbon Thread" is longer, and the injection point is higher.

Thanks to this, it can effectively disperse the force directed toward the cheekbones.

Also, because the injection point is higher, around the hairline rather than beside the cheekbones, it can be covered by hair, making it less noticeable even right after the procedure.

Today, we talked about the retention period of thread lifting.

As medicine has advanced, it has become possible to gradually slow the aging process that comes to everyone.

Thread lifting is just one of those methods, and for anti-aging there are various options such as laser lifting and surgical methods.

Even if you are troubled by wrinkles that keep increasing and deepening, and by a sagging face, rather than coming in with only one specific procedure in mind, we recommend deciding on a treatment through sufficient consultation with a specialist.

We will do our best to help you sincerely.
