Why Recommend Thread Lifting a Little More, Even Though Midface Lift Surgery Is Also Good?

The midface area of the face is not simply a place with cheek volume.

In this area, which extends from under the eyes to the cheekbones and nasolabial folds, many nerves and blood vessels are intricately intertwined.

That is why midface lifting is not just a procedure that inserts threads or pulls the skin,

but a treatment that absolutely requires precision and expertise.

If you leave it to an inexperienced doctor, you may not only fail to get the desired results, but also experience side effects such as bruising, pain, or even nerve damage.

Our clinic places importance on safety as well as satisfactory results.

We perform procedures based on years of experience so that patients can achieve results safely and with satisfaction.

Today, I will explain step by step how facial sagging changes our impression, why midface care is important, and how thread lifting is performed.

How facial sagging changes our impression As we age, the skin loses elasticity, and fat and muscle move downward due to gravity.

In particular, when the midface sags, the entire face can look heavy and tired.

As the cheek volume under the cheekbones descends, the nasolabial folds become deeper, and the corners of the mouth droop, creating an older-looking impression.

When people look at a face, they first notice the area around the eyes, nose, and mouth.

If the midface collapses, it is not simply that one wrinkle increases; the overall impression changes.

That is why, to maintain a youthful impression, midface care is essential.

What kind of procedure is thread lifting? There are several lifting methods.

These include a facelift that makes an incision and directly pulls the skin, laser lifting that stimulates the skin from within using heat, and thread lifting that inserts threads to pull the skin.

A facelift can be expected to produce clear results, but the incision and recovery period can be burdensome.

Laser lifting is relatively simple, but it has limitations for skin with significantly reduced elasticity.

On the other hand, thread lifting has the advantage of involving almost no incision, allowing relatively quick recovery, while still offering noticeable results.

At our clinic, we especially recommend thread lifting for improving midface sagging.

Rather than simply pulling the skin, the threads create a new support structure inside the skin, making the facial line firmer and restoring a natural youthful look.

How midface thread lifting is performed At our clinic, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience personally performs the thread lifting.

Rather than simply following a popular method as is, we analyze the patient’s facial shape and skin condition to design the safest and most effective approach.

In particular, we apply thread lifting in a ‘tripod structure.’

Because it creates a three-pronged support structure instead of a typical straight thread, a much more stable lift can be expected, with the advantage of longer-lasting results.

In addition, all procedures are performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and the entire process from consultation to procedure to aftercare is handled by a dedicated system.

This allows patients to receive treatment with peace of mind.

Why is customized treatment important for thread lifting? Thread lifting is not a procedure that can be performed the same way for everyone.

Because skin thickness, degree of elasticity, fat distribution, age, and desired results all differ, inserting threads in the same way can lead to unsatisfactory outcomes or make the threads loosen quickly.

For example, in people with thin skin, the threads may show through, and in people with a lot of fat, simply pulling the threads may not be enough to produce a sufficient effect.

Also, some people need improvement in the nasolabial folds, while others may look younger if the jawline is enhanced.

Only by designing and performing the procedure according to each person’s facial condition can natural and long-lasting results be achieved.

Based on experience with many cases, our clinic pursues customized treatment tailored to each patient.

Rather than simply ‘inserting threads and lifting,’ we perform the procedure after carefully planning where to place the threads, in which direction, and how many to use, so high satisfaction can be expected.

Midface sagging is not just a matter of looking older; it can make the overall impression heavy and tired.

That said, choosing thread lifting without careful consideration is also risky.

Because this area contains many nerves and blood vessels, it is safest to receive treatment from an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

At our clinic, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience personally performs the procedure and provides more stable, longer-lasting results through tripod-style thread lifting.

Most importantly, we provide natural and satisfying changes through personalized treatment rather than using the same method for everyone.
