To achieve a youthful appearance, many people find that surgery feels too burdensome, but if they leave things as they are, their changing appearance worries them day by day. Because of these concerns, more and more people have been considering thread lifts.

As one of the anti-aging solutions, the advantage of a thread lift is that it reduces the burden of surgery while also easing concerns about scars and bruising. Another benefit is that it can help you achieve a youthful facial shape in a relatively short time after the procedure.

However, in the very early stage after it is finished, for about a week, swelling may appear in the midface area, so it would be good to keep that in mind.

For those who are trying lifting procedures or surgery for the very first time, you may be wondering what kind of specific results you can expect.

Think of it as the effect of lifting, where you can estimate the degree of facial change that appears when you gently press the temple area of your face with your hand and then pull it upward.

Analysis of personalized improvement areas by individual

Looking at the areas that can be improved at Balance Lab, Gangnam thread lift plastic surgery clinic, they can be summarized as follows.

Cheeks, eye area, marionette lines, jawline, neck, and mouth area/nasolabial folds — you can see that almost every part except the forehead can be treated.

However, what you should know in advance is that the effect of thread lifting is more likely to appear dramatically when the tissue is not heavy, the skin is thin, and the degree of sagging in the existing facial condition is relatively high.

On the other hand, if the skin layer itself is excessively thin and volume is lacking, there may be a risk of later phenomena such as hollowed cheeks, so carefully checking your skin condition in advance can also help you predict the results before lifting.

If sagging or hollowness is severe, focusing treatment on those areas may be helpful. In such cases, to supplement hollowness, Balance Lab uses dissolvable PDO threads and hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume.

Because customized lifting is performed according to each individual’s face shape, sometimes using only one method can produce an unnatural result, so combining it with a complementary method like this can be very helpful.

The key to lifting is how you pull!

Looking at how Balance Lab, Gangnam thread lift plastic surgery clinic, differs from the conventional general method, it can be summarized as follows.

As you can understand by looking at the illustration above, the difference lies in the direction and method of pulling. If you simply pull only diagonally, the flesh may be pushed and, instead, the cheekbones may look larger, creating a reverse effect.

However, if you pull diagonally and vertically together, it can help prevent the cheekbones from standing out, and because the pull is more three-dimensional, it can also help maintain a stable result.

In this way, sagging skin and sunken fat must be pulled and filled together for a natural youthful facial shape to form, so I hope you carefully check these differences before visiting.

Why is Balance Lab the Gangnam thread lift plastic surgery clinic?

What does Balance Lab always emphasize? It is detail.

For those who are still new to this, let’s look at where differences can arise.

First, in thread lifting, the type of thread can change depending on the area you are concerned about, and the number of threads also changes. Therefore, the ability of a specialist to catch even these easily overlooked details becomes the difference in detail.

At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery Clinic, the number of one-on-one customized lifting procedures, 11,597 cases, proves this, showing that sufficient experience and data have already accumulated.

Having abundant experience means being able to present a specific plan from the initial consultation process all the way to the point when the procedure is completed.

In addition, through self-developed anti-aging IV solutions and more, the clinic is always thinking about how to reduce the various side effects that may appear after procedures as much as possible, and how to maintain the results. Because it is a place that proposes and adjusts these things together with the patient, paying close attention to this system can also be helpful~

Q&A from the Gangnam thread lift plastic surgery clinic

At Balance Lab, we have organized the questions many people ask most often about thread lifting and the parts they are most curious about.

First question!

"Does the feeling of a foreign body or pulling last a long time?"

This can differ from person to person, but since it is usually temporary, it tends to go away after about a week to a month.

Second question!

"When can I resume daily life?"

In most cases, this is possible right away unless there are special circumstances. However, for washing your face or applying makeup, it is better to wait at least 1 to 2 hours.

Another thing that was left out is the overall duration of the results. This varies greatly from person to person, so it is difficult to say for certain, but in some cases it lasts as little as 5 to 6 months and as long as about 2 years.

However, at Balance Lab, in order to extend the maintenance period, we are researching methods using the Vita Balance IV system and PDO and hyaluronic acid.

Some people also wonder whether, if the maintenance period is short, it is okay to have it done frequently without leaving an interval.

It is possible at intervals of 1 year or even 6 months, but you should know in advance through sufficient consultation and analysis with a specialist that it may place strain on the skin.

Also, one more thing to keep in mind after thread lifting is that actions that can stimulate the face, such as excessive facial expressions or massage, should be avoided for about 2 weeks to 1 month.
