Please read this if you are looking for reviews of sagging-face lifting.

There is also fat in the face.

Facial fat is located throughout the face, creating a sense of volume.

In particular, the deep cheek fat is a fat layer located in the center of the face and plays an important role in forming facial volume and contours.

As people age, the skin loses elasticity and fat decreases, causing the deep cheek fat to sag downward.

When the deep cheek fat sags, volume decreases in the areas where it is needed, and the skin begins to droop downward.

Not only does the jawline become uneven, but jowls may form and nasolabial folds become deeper, changing the overall impression of the face.

In particular, a face with sagging jowls can look not only older, but also stern or dissatisfied, giving off a negative impression.

Lifting procedures not only erase the traces of time, but also help make the overall impression look younger and more vibrant.

A thread lifting procedure that pulls up sagging skin tissue?

Thread lifting is a procedure in which dissolvable medical threads are inserted into the skin to physically lift the tissue that makes up the skin, including the fat layer.

It shows excellent effects in improving sagging skin and wrinkles.

Compared with laser lifting procedures, which improve elasticity by reactivating collagen in the skin, you can see the desired results more quickly.

And compared with surgical methods such as a facelift that involves an incision, the recovery period is shorter and the burden is lighter.

In addition, the threads injected under the skin decompose and dissolve over time, stimulating the surrounding skin and inducing collagen production.

While providing an immediate lifting effect, it also improves skin elasticity over the long term, helping the lifting effect last longer.

With thread lifting, once the procedure is done, the effect lasts from as short as 6 months to as long as about 2 years.

What are lifting threads made of?

Thread lifting is a facial procedure that uses threads injected under the skin to physically pull the skin upward.

The threads injected under the skin can be broadly divided into PDO threads and PLLA threads depending on their ingredients.

PDO threads are ingredients whose safety has been proven for a long time, to the point that they have been used as suture material for the heart.

Over time, they dissolve, are absorbed, and gradually exit the body and disappear.

They do not need to be removed separately, and as they dissolve and are absorbed, they stimulate the surrounding skin tissue and help activate collagen production.

PDO threads are broadly divided into cog threads with barbs and mono threads without barbs.

In the past, mono threads were also widely used for the purpose of improving collagen, but

currently, PDO cog threads form the mainstay of thread lifting.

PLLA threads also gradually disappear over time and help collagen production in the process.

What clearly sets them apart from PDO threads is that they promote collagen production more actively.

For that reason, they are threads that are more effective for increasing volume.

A representative product is Silhouette Soft, which has corn-shaped barbs.

Silhouette Soft is highly flexible and has rounded barbs, so it can be inserted even into curved areas.

It also has the advantage of being able to perform stably even when injected into areas with a lot of facial movement.

However, it has the drawback of lacking tension compared with PDO cog threads.

As such, lifting threads come in a wide variety, and there are also many different products on the market.

Each product has its own pros and cons.

Rather than approaching it by simply thinking that one thread is better than another, it is better to check which thread is actually suitable for your face.

To do this, you should receive a careful diagnosis and sufficient pre-procedure consultation from a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive experience with thread lifting and in-depth knowledge in the field.

There are several ways to improve a sagging face.

Among them, thread lifting is a popular procedure for many people because it directly lifts sagging skin tissue without surgical intervention.

However, thread lifting does not end with simply pulling sagging tissue upward.

It requires comprehensive and careful attention to the balance of the face, the direction of wrinkles, how and where to pull, and what the result will look like after lifting.

If the design is based only on the treatment area, the face may look awkward or you may suffer from unwanted side effects, so caution is needed.

Therefore, before undergoing the procedure, we recommend receiving treatment from medical staff who have extensive anatomical knowledge and broad experience with various cases.
