Hello,

I am Park Jeong-geun,

Director of Face Plus Plastic Surgery Clinic.

When I consult in the clinic, I often hear questions like:

‘My sagging feels more pronounced than before.’

‘My facial contour looks blurry; do I need something to define it?’

In such cases, it’s often not just a matter of skin elasticity, but rather a situation where the weight has shifted to the lower part of the face,

making the overall impression look different.

One of the methods considered in this situation is the Mint Thread Lift.

However, this approach is not a one-size-fits-all solution,

and there are clear distinctions between cases where it is suitable and where it is not, depending on the facial condition.

Therefore, I believe it’s important to first calmly explain what changes are occurring in the face.

Reasons to Consider When Sagging is Felt More Than Fine Lines

Mint threads are structurally known for their relatively clear fixation.

Therefore, it is a more suitable choice for cases where sagging is felt in the cheeks or around the mouth, making the contour appear blurry, rather than simply an increase in fine lines.

Especially when the skin itself has lost a lot of elasticity and the downward pull makes the impression heavy,

the changes tend to be distinct.

Conversely, if the skin is thin and sagging is not significant, this method might feel excessive.

The reason why results can look different even when using the same Mint threads is not due to the threads themselves, but rather to differences in the criteria for interpreting the face and the design method.

Many people also ask about the effects.

As sagging skin is tightened, the contour appears relatively clearer,

and changes are often felt not only in the frontal view but also in the side profile.

However, this change is different from the concept of ‘pulling a lot.’

The goal is to achieve a naturally refined result when applied to the necessary positions, considering the facial structure and the direction of force.

Therefore, rather than using many threads, I approach it based on the points that can create meaningful changes in the current face.

When this criterion is clear, the effect is not excessive and is maintained stably.

Reasons Why the Retention Differs Even with the Same Thread

The duration of effect is also difficult to explain with a simple number.

This is because the perceived duration can vary depending on facial movements, skin condition, and lifestyle habits.

However, Mint Thread Lift has a structure with clear fixation,

so for those whose main concern is sagging, they often experience a relatively stable feeling of retention.

What is important is whether the design was made at the correct depth and direction for the facial condition during the initial planning stage.

If this process is accurate, subsequent changes will also be natural.

The treatment method also greatly influences the results.

I emphasize consistent treatment, from the initial consultation to the actual procedure and subsequent care.

This is because if judgments change or directions differ midway,

the consistency of the results can also be compromised.

Rather than repeating a fixed pattern like a factory, stable results can be expected by approaching each patient's condition individually.

A system where not only the medical staff but also the entire team monitors the recovery process and condition together is also an important factor determining satisfaction.

Mint Thread Lift is an option that can bring about a distinct change when sagging skin makes the impression appear blurry.

What is important is a design tailored to the facial condition, rather than just the name of the thread.

Thank you for reading until the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is Mint Thread Lift suitable?

Mint Thread Lift is more suitable for cases where sagging is felt in the cheeks or around the mouth, making the contour appear blurry, rather than just fine lines. A distinct change can be expected, especially when skin elasticity is significantly reduced and a downward pull makes the impression heavy.

What are the effects of Mint Thread Lift?

As sagging skin is tightened, the contour appears relatively clearer, and changes can be felt not only in the frontal view but also in the side profile. The goal is to achieve a naturally refined result when applied to the necessary positions, considering the facial structure and the direction of force.

How long does the effect of Mint Thread Lift last?

The duration of effect can vary depending on facial movements, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. However, Mint Thread Lift has a structure with clear fixation, so for those whose main concern is sagging, they often experience a relatively stable feeling of retention.

What is important during a Mint Thread Lift procedure?

The most important aspect is to design the threads at the correct depth and direction, tailored to the individual's facial condition during the initial planning stage. Furthermore, consistent treatment by the medical staff, from consultation to procedure and subsequent care, greatly influences stable results.

Is Mint Thread Lift effective for thin skin or minimal sagging?

No, if the skin is thin and sagging is not significant, the Mint Thread Lift method might feel excessive. This procedure is more suitable for cases where sagging in the cheeks or around the mouth is prominent, rather than just fine lines.
