Deep Buccal Fat Thread Lifting: If You Want to See Real Results, Invest 10 Minutes

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Reting Plastic Surgery.

Have you ever felt upset when looking in the mirror because of sagging skin and wrinkles?

Everyone experiences the signs of aging appearing on the face, but you still want to maintain a younger, more elastic face for as long as possible.

Recently, many people have been showing interest in thread lifting and asking about it.

The idea of inserting threads into the skin to lift sagging skin sounds effective, but I imagine some of you may also feel worried about it.

Today, for those people, I’ll explain exactly what thread lifting is, and what effects and advantages it has.

What is deep buccal fat?

It refers to the fat pad located between the front cheek and the cheek below the cheekbone.

The biggest cause of deep buccal fat sagging is aging.

As we get older, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, and subcutaneous fat gradually diminishes, weakening the structure that supports the deep buccal fat.

On top of that, gravity also takes effect, causing the deep buccal fat to droop downward, which can make the nasolabial folds look deeper and give the face an overall sagging impression.

In addition, rapid weight loss from frequent dieting or reduced facial volume from excessive exercise can also cause deep buccal fat to sag.

** Surgical results may vary depending on the individual, and swelling, bruising, and bleeding may occur after surgery, so please proceed after sufficient consultation with the medical staff.**

However, deep buccal fat thread lifting is a procedure that can effectively improve this kind of sagging.

Because threads are inserted beneath the skin to pull the sagging cheeks upward, the face is lifted with more elasticity, and not only can the nasolabial folds be softened, but the overall impression can also become clearer and more youthful.

As such, thread lifting is a procedure that helps improve facial sagging and wrinkles, but if the skin elasticity is too low or a lot of weight has been lost, thread lifting alone may not be enough.

In the case of deep buccal fat thread lifting, it is common to combine V-line lifting, thread lifting, and deep buccal fat removal.

For that reason, our clinic carefully checks each patient’s condition and, if necessary, performs it together with a facelift.

Our clinic has focused only on lifting procedures for a long time, and we perform procedures based on know-how and experience accumulated over 20 years.

When performing deep buccal fat thread lifting, we apply a dual method that inserts and fixes threads in both the skin and the muscle.

Thanks to this, the effect of the thread lifting lasts longer, and the sagging skin is lifted more firmly.

We also use three types of threads developed directly by our clinic.

From the 360-degree protrusions of "Double Cog," the fine and dense protrusions of "Neo Cog," to the dual-structure "Double Mono."

We use the thread that best matches the customer’s skin condition and preferences.

Precautions for deep buccal fat thread lifting

No matter how well thread lifting is done, if aftercare is neglected, the effect can disappear quickly.

For about 3 months after the procedure, it is best to avoid saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise.

Please also avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 2 weeks, and when eating, refrain from very hard foods or opening your mouth too widely.

If you take good care like this, around 18 months later the threads will naturally dissolve, collagen will regenerate, and you can maintain elastic skin for longer.

** Surgical results may vary depending on the individual, and swelling, bruising, and bleeding may occur after surgery, so please proceed after sufficient consultation with the medical staff.**

As interest in thread lifting has recently increased, many people are coming across related information.

However, rather than focusing only on the type or number of threads, it is important to choose the method that suits you best.

Even the best threads will inevitably be less effective if they are used without considering the customer’s skin condition.

It is very important to combine the material, shape, thickness, number, and other factors of the threads in a way that suits you.

Therefore, when undergoing deep buccal fat thread lifting, we recommend receiving a thorough consultation and treatment at an experienced and trustworthy clinic.

So far, we have looked at the effects, advantages, and precautions of thread lifting.

In the end, the key is to find the method that is right for each individual customer.

Rather than trying to solve everything with deep buccal fat thread lifting alone, please remember that combining it with other procedures at times can lead to better results.

I hope you can address not only deep buccal fat sagging through thread lifting, but also achieve a more youthful and confident face. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thank you.
