If You Want Natural Lifting Without Dimples in Sinsa-dong Thread Lifting

As aging progresses, elasticity decreases, and the face gradually sags and droops downward.

There are various ways to improve sagging skin.

Among them, thread lifting is a procedure that has a relatively short recovery period and immediately lifts and secures the face.

In particular, it can also help improve complexes such as deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and protruding buccal fat, often referred to as bulldog cheeks.

However, because thread lifting is a procedure that creates physical changes in skin tissue, various problems can arise if it is performed incorrectly.

Today, we will take a closer look at thread lifting.

What is thread lifting, and how can dimple-like side effects be prevented?

What Is Thread Lifting?

Thread lifting is a lifting procedure in which dissolvable medical threads are inserted into the skin to pull sagging skin upward and hold it in place.

Because it acts on the deeper layers of the skin, the visible external irritation is relatively limited, but it is a procedure that creates a firmer and more defined contour.

Above all, the short recovery period and the ability to return to daily life relatively quickly after the procedure are major advantages.

In addition, the threads injected beneath the facial skin gradually dissolve while inducing collagen production.

It is not simply a lifting procedure; it can also have a positive effect on skin texture and elasticity.

Another advantage is that because the threads are flexible, natural facial expressions can be maintained.

What Is a Dimple?

Some people who undergo thread lifting experience a phenomenon where the skin surface appears sunken immediately after the procedure or after a few days; this is called a "dimple."

If the indentation is severe enough to be clearly visible, it can feel uncomfortable every time you look in the mirror.

There are actually various causes of dimples.

The most representative cause is that the thread does not settle properly within the skin or that the pulling force is too strong.

In particular, if the thread is inserted into a layer that is too thin, the outline of the thread may show through the skin surface or create a sunken appearance.

Also, if the thread is pulled with excessive tension, the skin tissue may gather toward one side and lose balance, causing a dimple.

These changes can appear more prominently in faces with thin skin or unevenly distributed fat layers.

Therefore, before proceeding with thread lifting, it is important to receive a detailed diagnosis of your current skin condition and first determine whether thread lifting is suitable for you.

Fortunately, not all dimples are permanent.

If the dimple is mild, it often disappears naturally as the thread dissolves, so if such a side effect occurs, it is best to monitor the progress with a specialist and take appropriate measures depending on the symptoms.

Other Side Effects and Precautions Besides Facial Thread Lifting Dimples

In addition to dimples, there are several other side effects to watch for in thread lifting.

Typical examples include uneven rippling on the skin surface, a foreign-body sensation under the skin,

and pain inside the skin or bruising.

These symptoms are usually temporary, but in some cases, measures may be needed, so the post-procedure course should be closely observed.

However, above all, it is important to prevent these side effects from occurring in the first place.

Thread lifting is a highly advanced procedure that must be performed with a comprehensive understanding of facial contours, muscle movement, skin thickness, and fat distribution.

Therefore, if the procedure is performed by medical staff with insufficient experience, or if it is done in the same way for everyone as if there were a fixed formula, problems can arise, so special caution is needed.

In such cases, not only dimples but also issues such as facial asymmetry or the threads loosening quickly may occur.

Also, the procedure should not simply focus on pulling when it is called a "lifting" procedure.

If the skin tissue is pulled in only one direction, excess tissue may gather in that area and cause the face to look flatter or wider, which can become a side effect.

This should be taken into consideration from the design stage before the procedure.

To do so, you should receive sufficient consultation with medical staff who have a high level of understanding of the procedure and extensive experience before proceeding.
