How Can Sagging Cheeks Be Effectively Improved with Lifting?

Hello, we are Re:本 Plastic Surgery, located at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station, where we meet with you.

As you get older and your face loses elasticity, the skin affected by gravity begins to sag downward.

The fat in the face also sags downward.

In particular, when the deep cheek area sags, the nasolabial folds can appear deeper, and the facial line can look uneven.

These deeper wrinkles and uneven contours can make the face look older than it really is.

That is why many people visit us to address sagging deep cheek area.

If the degree is not severe, we may recommend laser lifting treatments such as InMode, which help reduce fat and improve elasticity.

However, if the skin sagging is severe, we recommend thread lifting, which can physically pull the skin tissue upward.

Thread Lifting

Thread lifting is a procedure in which special medical threads that dissolve over time are inserted into the inner layer of the skin to pull the skin and fat layer upward, improving sagging skin and wrinkles.

There are various ways to improve stretched skin, but among them, thread lifting allows you to see results immediately compared with other lifting procedures.

In addition, because it does not involve surgical procedures such as a facelift, there is relatively less concern about downtime.

However, since thread lifting must physically pull the tissue directly, it is heavily dependent on the practitioner’s skill.

Also, because the results vary depending on the direction and angle of the pull, the design is important as well.

If you undergo the procedure carelessly while ignoring these points, the results may not only look unnatural, but the risk of various side effects also increases.

Therefore, before receiving the procedure, we strongly recommend that you undergo detailed consultation and a thorough examination with medical staff who have long experience and research in thread lifting.

Threads for lifting

At present, various threads have been developed and released as products.

These can be broadly divided into three types according to their ingredients and shape.

First, the thread most commonly used for lifting is the PDO cog thread.

It is a PDO thread with various types of barbs, inserted into the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer to pull the skin and lift it.

When people think of 'thread lifting,' the thread they most often have in mind is this 'PDO cog thread.'

PDO is a safe thread that is also used as a suture in heart surgery, and after insertion, it gradually dissolves and disappears.

At this time, it stimulates the surrounding tissue and remodels collagen.

It immediately lifts by pulling the tissue, and afterward it gradually helps improve facial elasticity.

There are also threads made specifically for this collagen remodeling effect.

These are PDO mono threads.

They are smooth threads with no barbs and are thinner than a strand of hair, used for improving overall skin elasticity and volume.

PLLA threads, also called 'volume threads,' have a relatively superior volume-enhancing effect compared with PDO threads.

PLLA is an autologous collagen-inducing material used as a key ingredient in Sculptra.

Silhouette Soft, a representative PLLA thread, has Corn-shaped barbs.

Overall, it has strong flexibility and a rounded shape, making it possible to insert even in areas with a lot of facial movement or curved areas.

Reborn Plastic Surgery Reborn Thread

Reborn Plastic Surgery has been performing thread lifting since the early 2000s, when thread lifting was first introduced, and continues to actively research it to this day.

Thanks to this, we independently developed 'Reborn Thread,' made from safe and effective ingredients.

Reborn Thread is made of PDO and has barbs designed to disperse skin tissue rather than gather it in one direction.

Products currently on the market are generally short in length.

For that reason, in order to improve issues that occur in the lower part of the face, such as sagging deep cheek area, the thread had to be inserted toward the cheekbone area, causing tissue to gather there.

As a result, side effects such as enlarged cheekbones or a larger-looking face occurred.

To improve this, Reborn Plastic Surgery developed a procedure that pulls by dispersing skin tissue in a V-shape rather than an I-shape, and the thread created in this process is Reborn Thread.

Reborn Thread is designed in every aspect, from the shape of the barbs to the length and form, so that it can effectively disperse skin tissue,

and its strong tension allows it to firmly pull the skin tissue.

Of course, before the procedure, we always perform a 'skin compatibility test,'

and even if Reborn Thread or V-shaped thread lifting is not possible due to the shape of the face or the condition of the skin,

based on our experience and research, we provide the optimal design that fits your face, so you do not need to worry.

Today, we talked about 'thread lifting,' one of the safe and highly satisfying procedures for improving sagging deep cheek area.

Thread lifting is certainly a procedure with less burden compared with surgery.

Also, it has become somewhat mainstream as many people now seek it out.

However, when performing the procedure, it should be done after comprehensively judging each individual’s facial features and skin condition.

At Reborn Plastic Surgery, medical staff with more than 20 years of experience directly examine the patient’s face and proceed with the procedure only after sufficient consultation.

Thank you.
