People Who Absolutely Should Not Get Thread Lifting! Who Should Get It?/Sinsa Station Dermatology

Hello, this is Lifton Dermatology.

Thread lifting refers to a procedure that uses medical threads to lift sagging tissue and create a fixing effect.

There are also cases called volume threads, where short threads are inserted under the skin to create an effect similar to fillers.

However, when most people think of thread lifting, they are often thinking of the former.

Thread lifting has become popular with many people because the recovery period is relatively short compared with surgery and it is less uncomfortable.

When considering the procedure, it is important to find a hospital that is good at thread lifting,

but it is also very important to determine whether your face is one that will benefit from it, or whether it is a face that should absolutely not get it.

Although thread lifting is a good procedure, there are definitely people who end up with worse results after getting it.

Even if the doctor designs the procedure well and effectively pulls up sagging skin, if the lifted face is ultimately not beautiful and looks unnatural, it may be better not to get it at all..

Who are the people who should not get thread lifting?

First, if you have very little facial fat and severely reduced elasticity, I recommend not getting thread lifting.

The pulled tissue may look unnatural, and there is a high possibility of side effects from the threads inserted into the skin. For these cases, it is better to restore tissue elasticity through various EBD (lifting devices) and then consider thread lifting step by step.

Second, there are people with too much facial fat.

Thread lifting does not remove sagging and loosened tissue; it is a procedure that pulls it and changes its position.

In people with a lot of facial fat, the pulled tissue may gather mainly toward the outer sides of the face, which can cause the unwanted result of making the face look even rounder. Third, there are people whose cheekbones are excessively developed.

In people with prominent cheekbones, especially in the case of lifting the nasolabial area, the cheekbones may become even more noticeable, so a careful approach is needed.

In such cases, the design of the procedure is important. Fourth, there are people whose facial structure is wide horizontally and whose chin is short.

When sagging tissue is pulled with thread lifting, the face can look even rounder.

In such cases, it may be more necessary to correct facial proportions with a procedure that adds volume to the chin instead. So, who is a good candidate for thread lifting?

In cases like this, where elasticity is moderate and the degree of sagging is not too severe but is visible to the naked eye, the procedure tends to be most effective.

Looking at the photos, the degree of aging in the skin texture is not very advanced, but the Indian band, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines are clearly visible,

and the jawline feels slightly blunt.

It is likely that if thread lifting is performed, these issues will improve at the same time.

However, even so, areas that are sunken still need to be filled with volume threads.

There are various lifting methods besides thread lifting.

Using a variety of methods, it is most important to plan the appropriate stages and sequence for each individual and provide treatment accordingly.
