Deep Cheek Thread Lift: When Does It Go Wrong? Design, Number of Threads, and Real Reviews

Hello,

I am Dr. Park Jeong-geun,

Director of Faceplus Plastic Surgery Clinic,

specializing in deep cheek thread lifts.

As we age, many people feel that their face is not just generally sagging,

but specifically that the area around their mouth looks sunken or pulled downwards.

This area is precisely the deep cheek region.

When the deep cheeks sag, the face can look tired, and the nasolabial folds and marionette lines become more pronounced.

Because of this, even relatively younger individuals worry about it.

At this point, a common choice is a thread lift using Mint threads.

It is highly popular because it can be performed without incision and offers a lifting effect, but it does not always lead to satisfactory results.

In fact, cases where people feel it ‘went wrong’ usually share common causes.

When a Mint Thread Lift Feels Like a Failure

Looking at cases where individuals are dissatisfied with the results after a deep cheek thread lift,

The first is when the wrong candidate was chosen.

If a thread lift is aggressively applied to individuals who do not have much volume and whose primary concern is reduced skin elasticity,

the lifting effect may not be as significant as expected.

The second is when the design direction does not match the facial structure.

Simply pulling upwards can make the face look longer or create an unnatural expression.

The third is when there was insufficient judgment regarding how many threads to insert.

If fewer threads than necessary are used, the change will be minimal,

conversely, if too many are used, it can lead to a foreign body sensation or awkward facial expressions.

These situations collectively lead to the perception that it ‘went wrong’.

Design and the Number of Threads Determine the Outcome

In a deep cheek thread lift, design is not just about drawing lines.

The pulling direction, fixation points, and left-right balance must all be considered together to achieve natural results.

Especially because this area is close to the center of the face,

even subtle differences are very noticeable.

The number of threads to use depends on skin thickness, degree of sagging,

and facial width.

Even with the same Mint threads, the effect of a single thread and the support created by multiple threads are distinctly different.

The important thing is not ‘the more, the better’,

but to precisely place as many as needed.

Common Points in Real Reviews

Looking at actual reviews, there are several commonalities in cases with high satisfaction.

First, when the cause and limitations of sagging were thoroughly explained during the pre-procedure consultation.

Second, when the plan was established based on the overall facial balance during the design process.

Third, when realistic explanations were provided regarding the number of threads to be used, rather than vague expectations.

These cases mostly involved differences in candidate selection or design judgment.

A deep cheek thread lift may seem simple, but the outcome is largely determined during the planning stage.

Therefore, rather than deciding based solely on reviews,

the process of thoroughly confirming whether the direction is suitable for one's own face is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases can a deep cheek thread lift be considered?

Yes, a deep cheek thread lift can be considered when the area around the mouth sags, making the face look tired, or when nasolabial folds and marionette lines are emphasized. It is often chosen by relatively younger individuals to address these concerns.

What are the main reasons why people are dissatisfied with Mint thread lift results?

There are primarily three reasons. First, when the procedure is aggressively applied to individuals with little volume and whose main problem is reduced skin elasticity. Second, when the procedure is performed with a design direction that does not match the facial structure. Third, when there is insufficient judgment regarding the necessary number of threads.

Why is design important for a deep cheek thread lift?

Yes, design is very important for natural results. Simply pulling upwards can make the face look longer or unnatural, and it is necessary to consider the pulling direction, fixation points, and left-right balance. Since this area is close to the center of the face, even subtle differences are noticeable.

How is the number of threads used in a thread lift determined?

The number of threads depends on skin thickness, the degree of sagging, and facial width. It is not that ‘more is better’, but rather that it is important to precisely place as many as needed for the individual, and the effect of a single thread versus multiple threads is distinctly different.

What are the commonalities in cases with high satisfaction after a deep cheek thread lift?

Yes, there are several commonalities in cases with high satisfaction. These include receiving a thorough explanation of the cause and limitations of sagging during the pre-procedure consultation, having a design plan established based on overall facial balance, and receiving realistic explanations regarding the number of threads.

Can a deep cheek thread lift be performed without incision?

Yes, a deep cheek thread lift using Mint threads is performed without incision and can provide a lifting effect. This is one of the reasons why many people are interested in and choose this method.
