These days, “thread lifting” has become a familiar procedure that anyone can easily come across.

Compared with surgical methods, the procedure time is shorter and recovery is faster, so some people think lightly of it and go straight to treatment without a consultation.

However, thread lifting is not a simple non-surgical cosmetic procedure.

If it is performed without diagnosing each person’s facial structure and skin layers, the effect may not last long, or side effects such as uneven expression, pain, or asymmetry may occur.

Even though it may seem simple on the surface, facial lifting is a process that requires delicate anatomical design.

You need to consider skin elasticity, the amount of fat, the degree of sagging in the fascial layer, and even the structure of the bones in order to achieve natural, long-lasting results.

That is why thread lifting is a procedure that can be received “easily,” but should not be taken “lightly.”

Why is personalized treatment important for thread lifting?

The reason thread lifting is challenging is that everyone’s facial structure is different.

Even among people in the same age group, skin thickness, the amount of fat, and the direction of sagging differ, and even habitual facial expressions have an effect.

For example, someone who sleeps only on one side or has a habit of clenching their teeth will have different facial muscle tension and sagging direction.

Because the causes and conditions differ from person to person in this way, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with a one-size-fits-all approach.

For someone with thin skin, a softer thread and gentler pulling are needed, while for someone with more fat and severe sagging, stronger-support threads and fixation in deeper layers are needed.

At our clinic, in order to understand these points in detail, we carefully check the facial structure and sagging direction from the consultation stage.

For facial lifting effects

When performing thread lifting, it is important to focus not simply on “putting in more,” but on “placing it accurately.”

The result of thread lifting depends not on the number of threads, but on how customized the procedure is for each individual.

Before the procedure, it is necessary to consider which area is most bothersome and in which direction the sagging is progressing.

By comparing the front and side views, examine the sagging of the double chin, cheeks, and nasolabial area, and based on this, plan the insertion position and strength of the threads.

During the procedure, it is important not to pull strongly in only one direction, but to lift according to the sagging direction of each area.

In addition, the type of thread should also be selected according to the patient.

It is best to use smooth threads, cogged threads, and other types to perform lifting according to each condition.

The effects and duration of thread lifting

The biggest advantage of thread lifting is that the overall facial contour becomes clearer, sagging cheeks and jawline are refined, and the impression looks fresher and younger.

Nasolabial folds are softened, and a collapsed-looking face is tidied up, transforming a tired-looking impression into one that appears more lively.

However, the effects of thread lifting vary from person to person.

In general, they last about 1 to 1.5 years, but this depends on skin elasticity, lifestyle habits, and post-procedure care.

So it is better to think of thread lifting not as a procedure that “stops” aging, but as one that slows the pace of aging.

If light procedures or elasticity care treatments are performed at regular intervals, much more stable and longer-lasting results can be achieved.

The practitioner’s experience leads directly to the result in thread lifting. Even when the same threads and materials are used, completely different outcomes can appear depending on how the procedure was planned and carried out.

That is why, when choosing a plastic surgery clinic, you should look not at “how cheap it is,” but at “how carefully it diagnoses and performs the procedure.”

During consultation, be sure to check the following:

  • Whether the sagging areas and directions are explained while looking together in the mirror

  • Whether the type and length of threads are combined according to the individual

  • Whether a safe design is used that avoids high-risk areas with many nerves and blood vessels

  • Whether there is a system for regularly checking and managing the progress after the procedure

Places that faithfully follow these processes differ in both results and satisfaction.

When performing the procedure, the most important thing is to make sure it does not stand out too much and can remain natural for a long time.

If you think only about excessive pulling or immediate changes, the result may become unnatural, and the possibility of various side effects will also increase.

The key is to perform the procedure so that a natural and comfortable impression can be maintained over time.

That is why it is best for the practitioner to handle the entire process directly, from consultation to procedure to aftercare.

They must be able to analyze the patient’s face in detail and lift it only as much as needed, in the safest location, and in the most natural direction.

After the procedure, please carefully monitor changes such as swelling, tightness, and left-right asymmetry, and have the progress checked regularly.

Thread lifting is not simply a cosmetic procedure, but a process for creating a natural youthful appearance.

That is why it requires caution and sufficient consultation and planning.

If sagging is something that has been bothering you, rather than rushing, first have your facial condition assessed.
