Thread lifting is a method that can bring relatively quick and noticeable changes to aging, sagging, and wrinkled skin.

However, because it is a procedure that does not involve a surgical method, many people tend to think of it as relatively simple.

As a result, there are quite a few people who undergo the procedure without thoroughly researching it and end up feeling distressed by unexpected results.

Thread lifting must be performed after carefully understanding the anatomical structure of the face, and after precisely designing the procedure by considering the elasticity and movement of each area, as well as the location of fat.

This is because even a 1 to 2 mm difference in the direction in which the thread is inserted, its depth, or the fixation point can significantly change the impression of the face, and that level of delicacy determines the quality of the result.

Therefore, the practitioner’s experience and expertise are extremely important in thread lifting.

Thread lifting

A place that diagnoses according to my face

Before starting thread lifting, the face must be carefully analyzed.

The direction and depth of the threads should be designed by considering everything, including skin thickness, fat location, volume asymmetry, and facial expression habits.

The face should be diagnosed thoroughly from the start, including close observation and analysis from multiple angles.

One of the side effects that often occurs with thread lifting is that the cheekbones look more prominent or the face appears spread out to the sides, giving a broad impression.

This is mostly a side effect caused by an inappropriate fixation point for the thread or an incorrectly set thread direction.

To prevent these results, enough consultation must be done before the procedure, and the face must be accurately diagnosed.

In particular, if the medical staff performing the procedure can judge changes in facial movement and expression by checking how the face will move when pulled, then a natural change can be expected even after the procedure.

Medical staff with abundant thread lifting experience and anatomical knowledge

The results of thread lifting vary depending on the direction, depth, and fixation point of the thread insertion.

For example, if it is inserted too superficially, the skin surface may become uneven or ripple, or the blue PDO thread may become visible through the skin.

On the other hand, if the procedure is done too deeply, the lifting effect may not appear.

In particular, if threads in areas with a lot of movement and fat accumulation, such as below the cheekbones or the buccal fat area, are pulled too strongly, the face may look unnatural.

In particular, if you focus only on pulling in one direction, too much tissue may gather around a single thread and make the face look puffy, so special caution is needed.

Rather than performing the procedure with a single thread in one direction, it is better to use multiple threads to distribute the pulling force and create a more natural shape.

Even in the same area, it should not be pulled three times from one direction; instead, it should be done in a way that divides the pull little by little from multiple directions to create balance.

To do this, you should choose medical staff who have extensive experience with lifting procedures and a high level of knowledge of facial anatomy.

Safety after the procedure must also be considered.

Thread lifting is an attractive procedure because some of the effects are visible immediately after the procedure.

However, just as important is how long that effect remains naturally.

A face with threads in it will inevitably undergo changes over time due to movement, facial expressions, and skin recovery, and the design must take those changes into account as well.

It also takes a certain amount of time for the threads to settle stably inside the skin.

Immediately after the procedure, it is important to avoid strong massages and refrain from excessive facial expressions or movement.

In addition, paying attention to sun protection and hydration is necessary so that collagen production is not disrupted and the effects can last longer.

Please choose a place that sufficiently explains and guides you through the importance of this aftercare during the consultation stage as well.

The face is an area with a very delicate structure.

Even a single facial expression or movement can change the impression, and the skin reaction also appears sensitively.

Because every detail, such as the path the thread passes through, the depth at which it is anchored, and the direction in which it is pulled, creates harmony with the overall impression, each step must be carefully designed and performed.

Also, because thread lifting is a procedure performed directly on the face, the practitioner’s anatomical knowledge, sense of touch, and aesthetic judgment are important.

Therefore, when choosing a clinic, do not decide too hastily, and be sure to check how carefully they examine your face and how thoroughly they provide consultation.
