About Thread Lifting at a Plastic Surgery Clinic in Yeouido

Hello, this is a plastic surgery clinic in Yeouido.

Recently, more people than expected have been showing interest in plastic surgery.

From the eyes to the nose, skin, and jaw, people undergo plastic surgery to achieve a better appearance than they have now.

Today, we would like to introduce thread lifting, one of the types of plastic surgery procedures.

1. What is thread lifting at a "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic"?

Many of you have probably heard of the procedure called lifting. But did you know that there are many types of lifting?

As you age, wrinkles increase and skin loses elasticity and sags. You may have felt sad whenever you saw a drooping outer eye corner, and so on.

For those who are looking into procedures or surgery to regain a more youthful look, we would like to introduce thread lifting.

Thread lifting is a procedure in which special medical dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to pull up sagging skin and improve wrinkles. At the same time as lifting, it induces collagen regeneration, which helps improve skin elasticity.

Because this procedure is performed without incisions, there is less concern about scarring, recovery is quick, and depending on the case, it can be combined with other procedures for greater results.

The inserted threads are naturally absorbed over time, which can also help improve skin tone.

2. What are Mint Lift threads used for in "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic" procedures?

These are threads that, by applying a special molding technique and 360-degree spiral protrusions to threads approved by the MFDS, offer excellent fixation and durability.

They use safe PDO threads that are naturally absorbed by the body, so the procedure can be performed without worrying about side effects.

Based on thick threads with strong support and a delicate design, they provide a more natural result and longer-lasting lifting effects.

Also, Mint Lift threads come in various lengths and shapes, making customized treatment possible by area.

Short threads are used to improve fine wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes, while long threads are used for larger areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and neck.

Mint Lift threads show noticeable results immediately after the procedure.

Sagging skin is lifted right away, and over time, collagen forms around the threads, so you can expect a natural improvement in elasticity.

3. What are the pros and cons of this procedure at a "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic"?

The biggest advantage of this procedure is that it is non-surgical. It can be performed with only local anesthesia, without incisions or general anesthesia.

The procedure time is relatively short, at around 30 minutes, so you can return to daily life right away.

Also, the threads themselves naturally break down inside the skin, so there is little foreign-body sensation, and the lifting effect appears naturally without burdening the skin.

However, please keep in mind that results can vary slightly depending on the patient's condition and the procedure method.

But while there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.

First of all, the effect is not permanent, and sagging may occur again after a certain period of time, so repeated procedures may be needed for maintenance.

Temporary side effects such as bruising or swelling may also occur, and it is good to be aware that the threads may show through or protrude in some cases.

These side effects can vary depending on each individual's condition, but on average, there are cases where side effects do not occur.

4. What is the procedure process at a "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic"?

After diagnosing the skin condition and the depth of wrinkles, the threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer, and the inserted threads gently pull up sagging skin.

As wrinkles improve immediately, the face becomes more firm and lifted.

First, through consultation and planning before the procedure, the individual's skin condition, skin elasticity, amount of fat, and degree of sagging, etc. are comprehensively considered to create a customized plan.

Before the procedure, preparation is done through充分 consultation with the medical staff.

Next, the procedure is performed under very local anesthesia, and the path where the threads will be inserted is marked, with the exact insertion points determined.

During the thread insertion process, the key part of this procedure is to use special threads to physically lift the sagging areas of the skin.

First, the needle is inserted, and after the thread has been placed, the needle is slowly removed,

leaving only the thread behind. At this point, the protrusions attached to the thread

or the hooked structure becomes fixed to the skin tissue, pulling the sagging skin upward.

And once the thread has been pulled as much as desired and the lifting effect is sufficient,

the exposed end of the thread is cut off, and the procedure is finished by arranging it so that it settles naturally inside the skin.

5. Precautions after a "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic" procedure

The most important thing right after the procedure is early care. For a few hours after the procedure,

the skin may swell or feel warm, so using an ice pack for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time

with intervals between sessions can help reduce swelling and pain.

However, it should not touch the skin directly, so you should use a towel or gauze,

and be careful not to apply ice continuously for a long time.

In addition, it is better to avoid washing your face and applying makeup for 3 days after the procedure, and when washing your face, use a gentle cleanser,

and avoid rubbing or pressing on the skin.

It is essential not to apply makeup until the holes in the treated area have completely healed.

Also, smoking and drinking can interfere with blood circulation or delay recovery, so it is recommended to stop smoking and drinking for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.

In addition, strenuous exercise that causes a lot of sweating should also be avoided for 2 weeks.

6. Q&A at a "Yeouido plastic surgery clinic"

Q. Will my face look smaller?

A. Yes, as sagging in the cheeks or jawline is lifted, the facial line becomes more defined right away, and as the previously sagging areas are raised,

you can also experience the effect of a smaller-looking face, and even a V-line effect.

Q. When do bruising and swelling go away after the procedure?

A. It varies from person to person, but they usually disappear within 1 to 2 weeks. Even if they do not disappear, they are usually mild enough to be fully covered with makeup,

and if you also use cold compresses and ointment, swelling and bruising may go away faster.

Q. Are there no side effects?

A. Any surgery or procedure has side effects, but if the patient

follows thorough care and fully adheres to what the medical staff prohibits, side effects will not occur.

If you follow these care instructions well, you can achieve a result that you are satisfied with.

In closing.

Thread lifting is a procedure that adds firmness and smoothness to the face, and it is a procedure that makes the jawline, mouth area, nasolabial folds, double chin, and more look like a firmer, more youthful face.

It is especially effective for those who want a visible lifting effect immediately after the procedure, and for those who want wrinkle improvement and restored skin elasticity,
