Hello,
I am Dr. Park Jeong-geun,
Director of Faceplus Clinic, a plastic surgery clinic near Sinnonhyeon Station.

When I consult with people who are considering a thread lift,
I often feel a common sentiment.
They feel their face isn't what it used to be,
but rather than wanting a drastic change,
they often wish for their current impression not to look too different.
Hence,
‘Is this method right for me?’
‘Will it be too obvious?’
Such questions naturally follow.

I believe these concerns are not trivial and deserve full respect.
It's not about how much you pull, but how the change settles.
A thread lift is one of the options that can be considered when facial sagging is in its relatively early stages.

However, it is difficult to expect the same results
for all facial changes.
The essence of this procedure lies in using threads to adjust the direction of the descended tissue
and rebalance the face.
The approach may vary depending on skin condition, the location where sagging began, and whether the area is subject to significant force when moving the face.

Therefore, if understood simply as ‘pulling,’
it is easy for the actual experience to differ from expectations.
One of the most common questions people have is how long the effects last.
There are definitely individual differences in this aspect.
The perceived duration can vary depending on the elasticity of the face, lifestyle habits, and how facial expressions are used.
However, the important thing is to know in advance what extent of change can be expected,

and how that change will settle over time, before making a decision.
This is because the greater the gap between expectation and reality, the lower the satisfaction can be.
Naturalness is determined in the process, not just the result.
Concerns about naturalness are also ever-present.
Since the face is an area that is constantly moving in daily life,


if the balance is off, not only the individual but also those around them can easily notice it.
Therefore, when evaluating results,
I place more importance on ‘how expressions look’
than ‘how much it has lifted.’
If the harmony of the impression when smiling, speaking, and at rest is not considered together,
the change can become a burden.
A thread lift is a procedure that is performed in a short time,
but its preparation process and judgment are by no means simple.


It requires a process of viewing the entire face as a single structure
and explaining what flow the current changes originate from.
I hope that choices made without this process will decrease.
Because only when you decide with sufficient understanding
can you comfortably accept the subsequent changes.
I hope this article has helped to clarify the criteria for viewing thread lifts, rather than recommending a specific choice.

The decision to undergo a facial procedure is daunting for anyone,
and naturally, the concerns can run deep.
I conclude this article with the hope that the time spent on these concerns will not be in vain,
and that the choice made will be one where not only the results but also the process can be understood and accepted.
Thank you for reading.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases can a thread lift be considered?
A thread lift is one of the options that can be considered when facial sagging is in its relatively early stages. It focuses on adjusting the direction of the descended tissue using threads and rebalancing the face.
How long do thread lift effects last?
The duration of thread lift effects definitely varies from person to person. The perceived duration can differ depending on the elasticity of the face, lifestyle habits, and how facial expressions are used, so it is important to have a thorough consultation before the procedure.
I'm worried about the thread lift being too obvious or unnatural.
Natural results are crucial for a thread lift. We focus on creating a natural impression by considering not just how much it has lifted, but also how expressions look when smiling, speaking, and at rest.
What should I consider before a thread lift procedure?
Before a thread lift procedure, it is necessary to view the entire face as a single structure and undergo a process of thoroughly listening to and understanding what flow the current changes originate from. This can help reduce the gap between expectation and reality, thereby increasing satisfaction.
Are thread lift results the same for everyone?
No, it is difficult to expect the same results for all facial changes. The approach may vary depending on skin condition, the location where sagging began, and whether the area is subject to significant force when moving the face.
