Recently, many people have been asking about thread lifting.

Gangnam thread lifting literally means 'lifting with threads.'

Then what is lifting?

Lifting is part of anti-aging, meaning reversing the signs of aging.

Aging can be broadly seen in four ways.

• Skin keeps sagging
• Fat pads move or diminish
• Bone is worn away, making the skeletal structure more visible
• Muscles or ligaments lose strength and sag

Reversing these changes is anti-aging.

Lifting is removing sagging skin, or tightening and cutting sagging muscles, or cutting and tightening sagging fat and restoring them. Doing all three of these on the face is ultimately the classic surgical method called a facelift. A facelift cuts the skin, tightens the muscles, and also removes fat.

As we get into middle age, changes in fat pads or volume become more pronounced, and as we get older, changes in the actual soft tissue become much more noticeable.

Therefore, at a relatively earlier stage, just moving the fat can already be beneficial.

At this point, what comes into play is thread lifting.

Among all lifting procedures, it involves making only a small opening and attaching threads to the fat pads.

Returning sagging fat back to its original position is the method of Gangnam thread lifting.

The threads used in thread lifting are usually spiked threads called Cog or Barb.

They are inserted and pulled, and are usually made by molding or by carving.

But in the end, the important principle is grasping and pulling the soft tissue.

Depending on the material, threads can be dissolvable or non-dissolvable.

There are Mint PDO threads, which are dissolvable, and PLLA threads made from the Sculptra ingredient.

Using threads made from the Sculptra ingredient is most 대표적으로 Silhouette Soft.

Then there is also PCL material, which is often used because it does not dissolve for more than two years.

These days, PDO threads and PLLA threads are mainly used.

The lengths also vary widely depending on the type.

When inserted on both sides of the face, threads longer than 20 cm may be used,

threads used for the shorter side of the face are around 10 cm,

and threads used for specific areas may be around 5 cm.

Gangnam thread lifting basically uses threads of about 10 cm for one side, and these are the ones most commonly used.

Who is a candidate for thread lifting?

People considered candidates for Gangnam thread lifting are judged in two ways.

One method targets the two fat pads in the front,

and another method targets the fat in the jaw and cheekbone area at the back.

What you can check yourself is this:

If, when you pinch and pull the cheekbone area, the pulled area seems to improve quite a bit, then the signs of aging caused by the two front fat pads are more prominent, so it is better to target this area. Or, if pulling upward at the jaw area improves the peanut-shaped face, or if lifting upward from the temple area improves the jaw area, we recommend targeting the jawline first for the procedure. In addition, many people who undergo thread lifting focus not on the fat pads but on the soft tissue or the fascia.

However, as a procedure that matches the definition of anti-aging and lifting, we believe Gangnam thread lifting is appropriate.

Even with the same thread lifting, the results and satisfaction level can vary depending on which thread is used and from which area the treatment begins.
