As we get older, various changes begin to become noticeable, such as the skin and fat tissue sagging downward under the influence of gravity.
Many people consider thread lifting as an option that can offer results while reducing the burden of surgery.
One thing to be careful about is that if you approach thread lifting too casually, unexpected problems can arise.
If lifting is done with too much force, facial expressions may look unnatural, and if the thread is not properly placed in the intended position, it may become visible from the outside or look uneven.
Asymmetry or pain may also occur, so you should 반드시 consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make a careful decision.

What kind of procedure is thread lifting?
Thread lifting is a procedure that fixes sagging tissue with threads and lifts it to improve it toward a more elastic appearance. Recently, the tiny protrusions on the threads help firmly hold the tissue, making it possible to expect a strong and long-lasting lifting effect.
Over time, collagen is generated around the threads, and elasticity is gradually restored. In other words, immediately after the procedure, you can see improvement in sagging and better facial contouring, and later, through the promotion of collagen regeneration, you can expect combined skin-improving effects such as better skin texture and elasticity.
It can be expected to help with various age-related skin changes, such as sagging in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and a loose jawline.
Because it offers immediate yet natural-looking changes, many people seek thread lifting.
However, these results only appear properly when careful treatment is performed according to each person’s current skin condition.
Ultimately, proper thread lifting depends on the design stage.
That is why a thorough design process is needed.

Why pre-consultation and planning are essential even though it looks simple on the surface
Thread lifting is a procedure that requires a three-dimensional assessment of the face and careful planning.
It is not simply about lifting sagging skin upward; muscle movement, fat position, bone structure, skin thickness, and elasticity all must be considered.
During this process, the type of thread, the number of threads, the pulling strength, and the direction are all set in detail.
If the procedure is performed without analysis, the face may be lifted, but you may experience side effects such as a stiff feeling when smiling or cheeks looking hollow.
Every face is different, and even within one person’s face, the left and right sides are not the same. Therefore, in thread lifting, half the result is already determined by the process of finding the direction that will look most natural and last the longest for each individual.
Experience is important so that all of these processes can be carried out safely and precisely.
Then in what kind of plastic surgery clinic, and in what way, should you receive it to be safe and satisfied?
At our clinic, thread lifting is performed based on more than 20 years of data and experience.
A board-certified plastic surgeon personally handles everything from consultation, design, and procedure to aftercare.
Based on years of accumulated data, we scientifically design which thread fits best for which face.
In particular, we follow the standards below.
Based on extensive case data, we carry out personalized design and use only verified threads.
We can also use our own longer custom-made threads rather than standard off-the-shelf threads. Because they are longer, the insertion point can be placed higher, allowing for a stronger lift and helping prevent the cheeks from gathering and making the cheekbones appear more prominent.

Because the procedure is performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive anatomical knowledge, the risk of nerve and blood vessel damage is reduced, and thread lifting can be performed more safely while reducing concerns about bruising and swelling.
In this way, rather than approaching thread lifting as a simple minor procedure, we perform it as an 'anti-aging solution' that can help restore each person’s weakened skin structure, resolve aesthetic concerns, and help them regain confidence.

Thread lifting is a procedure many people consider because it places less burden on the body and works quickly, but at the same time, it is greatly affected by the skill and experience of the board-certified plastic surgeon.
Please make sure to check carefully whether the clinic performs individual facial analysis and whether the procedure is done by a board-certified plastic surgeon before deciding.
If sagging is a concern, I recommend first consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to accurately identify the fundamental issues in your face.
That wraps up today’s content. I hope it helps you achieve satisfying results, and I’ll end here.
Thank you.
