Precautions and Care Tips After Thread Lifting

| Obje Plastic Surgery Thread Lifting Precautions & Care Tips |

With expectations of various changes such as improved skin sagging and facial contour, and reduced wrinkles,

many people are getting thread lifting these days.

Among the patients who visit our clinic,

there are often people who ask about

thread lifting.

Thread lifting

involves inserting medical threads that are harmless to the human body

directly into the skin

and lifting it to achieve various changes.

During the procedure,

it is often performed

after sleep anesthesia or local anesthesia.

That is why many people choose it,

feeling reassured about concerns over pain during the procedure.

However, because aftercare is as important as the procedure itself,

today we will look into this

in detail.

1. Cleansing and makeup

After thread lifting,

cleansing and makeup are possible starting the next day.

However, please be careful not to let the regenerative tape applied to the procedure area come off.

If it becomes contaminated during cleansing or makeup,

or if the regenerative tape comes off because of fluid oozing from the procedure area,

it is better to replace it with a new one.

Also, do not rub the procedure area too hard.

If the procedure area is irritated,

the threads may break,

so please be careful when cleansing or applying makeup.

2. Tightening sensation after the procedure

These symptoms

can vary from person to person.

Some people may feel their face tightening after the procedure,

a tingling sensation when making facial expressions, or a crackling sensation when moving their face.

These are symptoms that can occur after natural thread lifting.

As the threads move inside the skin,

they catch the skin

and gradually pull it in, which can cause these symptoms.

These symptoms

gradually improve over time,

so there is no need to worry too much.

3. Swelling and bruising

Swelling and bruising may occur after the procedure.

Mild pain after the procedure

may last for about 1 to 2 weeks.

However, this can vary

depending on the individual.

Applying a cold compress after the procedure

can help reduce swelling.

A cold compress is recommended for about two days after the procedure.

However, after 3 to 4 days,

it is better to apply a warm compress.

And taking a light walk

can help reduce swelling.

If you have bruising,

you can manage it

with a bruise cream.

4. Exercise

Many people ask when exercise is allowed.

Light walking that does not cause sweating is fine, but

high-intensity exercise or strenuous exercise that makes you sweat heavily

may instead cause more swelling

or make bruising worse,

so it is better to avoid it for about a week if possible.

5. Other

It is better to refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for about a week after the procedure.

Because alcohol and smoking

can make the inflammatory response more severe,

please be careful.

And it is better to avoid saunas and jjimjilbangs for about a week.

Because of the high temperature and irritation,

germs can enter the skin before it has fully healed,

which may worsen inflammation

or lead to infection.
