Is Thread Lifting for Twenties Okay? Personal Differences to Consider Before Effects
While thread lifting was once for older individuals, it's now popular among those in their twenties concerned about facial contours. However, personal differences in facial structure and fat distribution are crucial to consider before focusing on results.

Hello,
I am Dr. Park Jeong-geun,
Director of Face Plus Plastic Surgery Clinic,
specializing in thread lifting for those in their twenties.

In the past, it was perceived as an option considered after a certain age,
but recently, inquiries from people in their twenties are increasing.
It often starts with concerns about blurry facial contours in photos,
or looking more tired than they actually are.

This can be particularly sensitive if there have been weight changes,
or if one has chubby cheeks but an undefined jawline.
However, concerns at this age often stem from facial structure and fat distribution rather than aging,
making it difficult to simply conclude that lifting is necessary.
Therefore, for those in their twenties, the process of first addressing ‘why they are concerned’
is more important than ‘whether they can do it’.
Personal Differences to Consider Before Effects
The biggest variable in thread lifting for those in their twenties is
personal differences.

Even within the same age group, skin elasticity, thickness, and the position of facial fat
differ from person to person.
If the skin is firm, the pulling effect might not feel significant,
conversely, in cases where fat is concentrated in the lower face,
some may experience a more defined contour.

If only the effects are expected without considering these differences,
satisfaction with the results may be low.
Especially if the contour appears collapsed due to volume issues rather than sagging,
or due to muscle usage habits,
the approach itself needs to be different.
Therefore, for this age group, judging ‘suitability’ first is key,
rather than the magnitude of change.
Suitable and Unsuitable Cases
Not everyone in their twenties needs a lift.


If the lower facial contour appears particularly collapsed,
or if the cheek fat sags downwards when smiling,
some may experience a more refined impression.
On the other hand, if skin elasticity is sufficient and the face line appears dull simply due to plumpness,
other methods might be more suitable.


At this age, an approach that aims to refine the current impression
is more realistic than aiming for excessive changes.
Rather than expecting significant effects, it is important to receive an accurate explanation
of the possible range of changes for the current condition.
This will reduce regret about subsequent choices.
Criteria for a Regret-Free Choice
When considering thread lifting in your twenties, the most important criterion is ‘Is there a clear reason to do it now?’

Rather than deciding simply based on trends or recommendations from others,
one should first identify their own facial structure and the cause of their concerns.
Whether there was a comparative explanation with other alternatives during the consultation process,
and whether they honestly tell you if it’s not necessary,
are also important judgment factors.

Since it is not a choice that produces the same results for every face,
satisfaction increases when explanations sufficiently consider individual differences.
I hope this article helps to clarify why personal differences should be considered before effects
when contemplating thread lifting in your twenties.
