When Looking for a Lifting Plastic Surgery Clinic in Sinsa-dong

"I want thread lifting, but which plastic surgery clinic in the Sinsa-dong area is good?"

If you are reading this post, you are probably considering thread lifting.

As a plastic surgery clinic that has been performing thread lifting for more than 20 years, I’d like to offer one piece of advice:

This procedure does not end simply by pulling the skin.

Although it may look like lifting with just a few threads,

if thorough pre-procedure planning and delicate technique are not carried out for each individual, the results may fall short of expectations.

That is why thread lifting should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, especially one with extensive knowledge of anatomy and experience in the procedure.

Below, as a 20-year thread lifting plastic surgery clinic, I will explain the points you should know before the procedure.

Please read through slowly, and if you need a consultation, contact our clinic.

Thread lifting should not be taken lightly.

Our face is a three-dimensional structure made up of curves.

It also contains tissue layers at different depths—fat, muscle, the SMAS layer, and the skin—all organically connected.

Thread lifting must also be approached with a full understanding of this structure.

It is not enough to simply think of it as putting threads under the skin.

A precise design that considers many factors is essential, including the depth of the tissue the thread reaches, the direction, the position of the fixation points, skin thickness, and fat distribution.

When choosing a plastic surgery clinic, I do not recommend selecting one based only on price, reviews, or distance.

Because there are many types of threads and the technology used in the procedure continues to advance, the surgeon’s experience and knowledge of the specific thread being used are very important.

Therefore, you should carefully look at whether the clinic has extensive experience with lifting procedures, whether sufficient consultation is provided before treatment, and what kind of philosophy the clinic follows in performing the procedure.

A good clinic is not one that simply uses whatever thread is trending, but one that can apply the most suitable thread according to the individual patient’s facial structure and skin condition.

Tripod-type thread lifting

Our clinic performs "tripod-type thread lifting."

As the name suggests, a tripod refers to a three-legged structure that extends in three directions.

Rather than a simple single-line thread pulling in only one direction, the thread spreads in three directions and supports and fixes the skin from multiple angles, making it more suitable for the three-dimensional structure of the face.

Tripod-type threads help the lifting effect appear in a more dimensional and balanced way, and they are especially effective in areas with many complex curves, such as the midface, nasolabial folds, jawline, and double chin.

They can also be useful in areas with frequent movement and various directions of sagging, such as the buccal fat area, drooping eyebrows, and hairline.

This tripod structure has several clear advantages.

The first is three-dimensional support.

Because the skin is supported from multiple directions rather than just one, the skin is not pulled to one side after the procedure, allowing for lifting that takes the harmony of the entire face into account.

The second is improved durability.

As force is distributed in three directions, the skin tissue is fixed more stably, which can lead to longer-lasting results.

The third is natural-looking results.

Rather than creating an artificial feeling by pulling in only one direction, it responds flexibly to facial movement and blends in naturally.

The fourth is increased fixation.

Because the thread is secured from multiple directions like a tripod, the position of the thread is less likely to shift after the procedure, and the sensation of a foreign body in the skin is reduced, allowing for stable fixation.

The fifth is easier customization.

Because the position and direction of the thread can be designed in a three-dimensional way according to the face’s contours and volume, it becomes possible to perform a procedure that best suits the patient’s face.

Thread lifting is not a procedure with a single correct answer.

If it is performed in a uniform way, the results may be less effective.

By changing the method and thread direction according to each person’s face, and performing a customized procedure, you can expect more satisfying results.

Be sure to find a plastic surgery clinic that can carefully analyze skin thickness, elasticity, fat distribution, wrinkle direction, and the degree of sagging, and that can plan the appropriate thread type and insertion depth accordingly.

Thank you.
