When facial sagging starts to become a concern, one of the first procedures that comes to mind is thread lifting.

Because it has the advantage of restoring a firmer facial line without making an incision in the skin and with a relatively short recovery period, many people choose it.

However, if you look at various reviews, you often see comments like, “It feels like it sagged again quickly,” “It became asymmetrical,” or “It seems like there was no effect.”

There may be several reasons for this, but I believe the biggest cause is a procedure that applies the same thread lifting to every face.

Everyone has a different facial structure, and the cause and direction of sagging, skin elasticity, and amount of fat are all different.

Even so, if threads are inserted in the same direction, at the same depth, and in the same number, the results will naturally be uneven.

Today, I’d like to explain why personalized thread lifting is necessary.

Please read slowly, and I hope this helps you receive a satisfying procedure.

What is important for getting good thread lifting? Thread lifting may seem like a simple procedure of “inserting threads and pulling them up,” but in fact it requires a much more delicate and scientific approach.

The first important step is an accurate facial diagnosis.

Where the skin begins to sag, in what direction it has collapsed, and whether the sagging is due to reduced skin elasticity or lack of volume all require completely different approaches.

The second is choosing the insertion direction, depth, number, and type of threads.

If a thick, heavy thread is used on someone with thin skin, bruising may last a long time or the skin may look raised. If only light, short threads are used on someone with a lot of facial fat, the lifting effect may wear off quickly.

How is thread lifting performed? Many clinics perform thread lifting as a procedure that pulls the face up “all at once.”

However, we do not do it that way.

We believe thread lifting should not be treated as a single procedure, but as a process that should be carried out step by step.

That is why we perform our own 3-step midface thread lifting procedure.

Step 1: Volume restoration and basic lifting

Sagging usually begins when the cheek area starts to flatten.

Threads are inserted into the sunken area to restore volume while lifting the midface at the same time.

The key in this step is to rebuild facial dimension.

Step 2: Detailed micro-adjustment lifting

We precisely insert threads around areas where subtle hollowness is noticeable, such as around the nasolabial folds, below the cheekbones, and near the mouth, to create balance and complete a natural contour.

The type, length, depth, and direction of the threads are all adjusted to match the patient.

Step 3: Fixation and improved durability

The final step is to firmly secure the threads so that the procedure’s effect lasts longer.

We create firm lifting that is maintained over time, not just a face that is temporarily pulled upward.

At this stage, Ribone Plastic Surgery’s own fixation technique and a customized post-procedure care program are also provided.

Also, rather than simply pulling in one direction, we provide three-dimensional support and lifting in three directions, like a tripod structure.

Because this structure spreads the threads in various angles to match the face, the lifting’s fixation and durability are excellent.

※ Thread lifting is recommended for people like this

| People whose nasolabial folds have become deeper and who look tired in expressionPeople whose cheeks have sagged and facial lines have collapsed, making them look olderPeople who want a natural, three-dimensional lift without surgeryPeople who were disappointed because a previous thread lifting procedure was not effective enough or wore off too quicklyPeople who want a clear change with a short recovery period, even in a busy daily routine |

Many people come to our clinic, and I think the reason is that we do not rely only on procedure technique.

✔ Over 20 years of thread lifting procedure experience ✔ Personalized design and precise diagnosis for each individual ✔ Tripod-shaped thread structure with high fixation strength ✔ Use of freshly produced, self-manufactured threads ✔ 1:1 post-procedure care that takes responsibility even after the procedure

Through data and know-how accumulated from numerous cases, and through a customized approach for each patient, we provide satisfaction to our patients.

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure that makes your appearance look younger. I think of it as a change that helps you regain confidence and feel renewed vitality in life.

However, that change is only possible through “proper thread lifting.” You need threads tailored precisely to your face, along with careful treatment.

If you are considering thread lifting, I hope you find a plastic surgery clinic that sincerely considers the procedure that best fits your face.
