Why Choose Thread Lifting for a Brow Lift

We know that aging with the passage of time is a natural phenomenon,

but if we experience it ourselves, it is only natural to feel saddened.

In particular, when skin elasticity decreases around the age of 25

and fine lines begin to appear around the eyes,

it can make you look older,

and even create a harsher impression.

Recently, the number of people visiting medical institutions

for these concerns has been increasing,

and there has also been growing attention from those considering a brow lift

to improve glabellar wrinkles and correct drooping eyebrows

as well as eyes that appear tired or cramped.

It is easy to think that wrinkles increasing with age is

just something that happens naturally.

But when decreased skin elasticity and sagging eyelids

even interfere with daily life by obstructing vision,

the situation changes.

At such times, one alternative often mentioned

is a brow lift.

This procedure involves making about 3 to 5 small incisions

that are hardly noticeable to the eye in the scalp inside the hairline,

then inserting FULL HD endoscopy through them,

dissection around the eyebrow area,

and pulling and fixing the loosened muscles upward.

With this brow lift,

the forehead can be lifted,

which helps soften overall facial wrinkles,

correct drooping upper eyelids,

and improve the overall appearance.

Also, because the incision is made inside the hairline,

the wound is not very visible,

and the treated area is small, so recovery is quick.

In addition, by firmly and delicately supporting the tissue,

the once narrow forehead can also become wider,

which is why some count as a benefit the ability to maintain

a bright, youthful impression for a semi-permanent period.

On the other hand, people with very little hair often worry that after the lift

their face may look longer than before.

In such cases, it may be good to combine the procedure with a reduction surgery

that removes soft tissue from the forehead,

dissects the scalp,

and lowers the hairline before suturing.

This method provides side benefits beyond appearance changes.

First, the visual obstruction caused by sagging tissue on the upper eyelids

is naturally reduced.

Also, if you originally had double eyelids,

you may be able to regain a clear eye shape.

In addition, because only small incisions are made

and the scalp is not cut lengthwise,

concerns about scars and bleeding are reduced.

Many also give high marks to the fact that the remaining scar after recovery is small

and there is little concern about hair damage.

However, satisfaction can vary greatly depending on what material is used.

Recently, the use of Endotine has often been seen,

which has drawn attention.

It is a safe facial lifting fixation device approved by the FDA and authorized by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety,

and because it incorporates Multipoint Fixation technology,

it is considered ideal for dispersing the force that pulls on the skin tissue.

Since Endotine is made of a PLA and PGA composite,

after being inserted into the body,

it is mostly absorbed and disappears within about 6 months to 1 year.

Another advantage of this product is that it comes in various models

so it can be used according to the area.

In addition, compared with other methods,

the brow lift time is shorter,

which means less physical burden and faster recovery.

Moreover, the five projections disperse force

and make it easier to adjust the lifting intensity,

allowing customized lifting,

and the ability to maintain a youthful look for a long time

is often seen as attractive.

However, because the material is relatively expensive,

the cost burden for patients can increase,

which is a drawback.

In addition, immediately after insertion,

swelling, bruising, numbness, and hematoma may occur.

In most cases these improve within a few weeks,

but in rare cases, chronic inflammatory reactions may occur,

and nodules may form.

There are also cases where scalp sensation decreases,

or nerve irritation causes tingling pain that lasts for a long time,

and some people have also struggled with hair loss around the fixation device.

To address these issues,

interest in thread-based brow lifts is also increasing.

This method inserts a specially designed medical product under the scalp,

and the appeal is that there is no incision wound,

so there is no need to worry about scarring.

The benefits gained in this process are also varied.

First, because the projections (cogs) attached to the product

lift and fix the tissue,

drooping eyebrows and eyelids take on a better shape,

wrinkles around the glabella are softened,

and a more youthful image is created.

In this case, the duration of maintenance is sometimes considered shorter than Endotine,

but as collagen production is naturally induced during the thread insertion process,

and skin elasticity increases along with it,

allowing the tissue to be supported delicately and firmly,

the consensus is that there are more advantages overall.

In addition, the time from visiting the clinic to completing correction is short,

at about 1 hour and 30 minutes,

and because pain can be avoided with sedation anesthesia alone,

the fact that hospitalization is unnecessary is also seen as appealing.

Also, stitches can be removed after 10 days,

and in the meantime, by visiting 2 to 3 times to check the wound,

recovery to the point of resuming daily life is possible in about 7 to 14 days,

making it a good option for changing your image during vacation,

holidays, or long weekends.

However, a brow lift using such fine threads usually requires

more delicate technical skill.

For this reason, it is most important to receive support from a medical institution

that properly manages everything from the initial consultation to aftercare.

In addition, because anesthesia and incision are involved,

don't forget to carefully review whether anesthesiology staff are on site,

whether there is a system in place to monitor the patient's vital signs in real time,

and whether the clinic is sufficiently equipped to respond to emergencies such as bleeding.

If these preparations are in place,

it should not be difficult to regain a refreshed eye shape and youthful look with just one thread.
