Hello. We are ‘Re:本 Plastic Surgery,’ located at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station, where we welcome you.

As the weather starts to become dry, interest in elasticity and wrinkles increases.

In particular, dry air takes moisture away from our skin.

As a result, the skin becomes dull and saggy.

There are many ways to improve skin elasticity, such as laser lifting and collagen injections.

However, once the skin has already become loose and saggy, there are limits to indirect and fundamental methods that regenerate collagen.

Thread lifting is a procedure that can physically pull up sagging skin tissue through a non-invasive method, which is why many people seek it out.

Thread lifting?

Thread lifting is a procedure that physically lifts skin tissue by inserting ‘medical dissolvable threads’ under the skin.

It helps improve sagging skin and define the facial line.

It can be applied to various areas such as a sagging jawline and cheeks, double chin, nasolabial folds, eye area, and neck wrinkles, and can be used to focus on specific areas.

In particular, it can be performed simply through a thin cannula, so it is relatively less burdensome than surgery, and you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Types of lifting threads?

Threads for lifting can be divided into PDO threads and PLLA, depending on their components.

Among them, many threads are made with PDO as the main ingredient.

PDO gradually dissolves and breaks down over time after being inserted,

and has long been recognized as a safe material, used historically for cardiac sutures.

Threads that use PDO are classified into mono threads and cog threads according to their shape.

Mono threads are smooth threads without barbs and are mainly used for the purpose of enhancing collagen,

while cog threads have barbs, which can hook into skin tissue and pull it in the desired direction.

In general, when lifting sagging cheeks, cog threads with barbs are used.

PLLA is a ‘collagen self-forming inducer’ that independently generates collagen and is a thread that is more suitable for increasing volume than PDO thread.

That is why it is also called a ‘volume thread.’

Which product or which thread is right for me should be selected by comprehensively considering each person’s skin characteristics and degree of sagging before the procedure.

Why design is important

The design of thread lifting is also very important.

This is because the procedure should not simply involve inserting threads, but should consider the structure and lines of the face.

If the design is wrong, it can actually create an unbalanced face shape.

Therefore, it is important to decide after 충분히 consulting with the doctor about how the threads will be inserted and which areas should be emphasized.

Conventional thread lifting typically focused on pulling in one direction in an I-shape.

In such cases, the force that hooks the tissue is weak, so fixation is not secure and it can easily come loose.

In addition, the pulled skin may gather to one side, making that area stand out in particular or causing the facial line to become uneven.

To prevent this, Re:本 Plastic Surgery pulls the threads in a V-shape to distribute the force carried by the threads.

Even when using threads of the same thickness, if support comes from two or three strands, they can remain strong for a long time.

So, Re:本 Plastic Surgery’s thread-only lifting uses two threads, or three threads if needed, to lift sagging skin.

However, all of the threads available on the market were made for I-shaped lifting, so they were not suitable for the lifting procedures at Re:本 Plastic Surgery.

For that reason, we developed our own ‘Re:本 thread.’

The advantages of the Re:本 thread are, first, that two or three strands come as one set, allowing for a firmer fixation.

Second, because the force is sufficiently distributed rather than concentrating near the cheekbones, it is relatively free from the side effect of skin gathering near the cheekbones and making the face look larger after the procedure.

Lastly, because the insertion point is the hairline rather than near the cheekbones, it has the advantage of not being noticeable even immediately after the procedure.

Re:本 Plastic Surgery’s Re:本 thread is made using approved materials, and because it is manufactured to match the timing of the procedure, its effects last for a long time.

Before the procedure, we always conduct a ‘procedure suitability test,’ so you do not need to worry that the thread may not be right for you.

Since thread lifting is a procedure performed on the face, the surgeon’s experience, knowledge, and sense play a decisive role.

An experienced specialist can achieve the desired results through a more accurate procedure.

Therefore, if you are considering thread lifting, rather than choosing based only on price, you should thoroughly research the surgeon’s career and patient reviews and make a careful decision.

Thread lifting is not a simple procedure, but a treatment that requires specialized knowledge, so if you want safe and effective results, please make sure to consider this.

Today, we explained information about thread lifting and various related factors.

Thread lifting is an effective method for improving skin elasticity and wrinkles, but the wrong choice can instead lead to side effects, so careful decision-making is essential.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our ‘Re:本 Plastic Surgery’ at any time.

Thank you.
