1. How is the Mint Thread Lift performed?
The Mint Thread Lift is a procedure that uses medical threads
to refine sagging facial lines.

Consultations for this procedure are often sought
when the jawline appears collapsed
or when sagging cheek fat makes the facial contour look dull.
In some cases,
it is considered in conjunction with the V-line or deep cheek fat lines,

aiming to naturally refine the overall facial balance.
However, rather than simply pulling strongly,
it is crucial to design the procedure based on the current face shape and degree of skin sagging.
2. Why are its effects widely discussed?
Reviews of the Mint Thread Lift often include comments like
‘my jawline feels more defined’ or
‘my face looks less saggy’.


Some even mention noticing a change in their jawline
in side profile photos.
Additionally, for those whose lower face appeared heavy due to sagging cheeks,
there are cases where they feel their lines look lighter.


In some instances, people report that their facial impression looks more refined
along with changes in skin elasticity.
However, the perceived effects may vary depending on skin elasticity, degree of sagging,
type and number of threads used, and other factors.
3. What about duration, pain, and swelling?
The duration of the effects
can vary depending on individual skin condition, lifestyle habits,
and the type of threads used.

Generally,
the lifted line is maintained for a certain period,
and then gradually changes over time.

Pain is often described as a pulling or dull aching sensation,
and can vary among individuals.
In the initial period,
swelling, discomfort when opening the mouth,
and a pulling sensation may occur.
These symptoms typically stabilize over time,
and recovery speed can also vary individually.
4. What to check before looking at the price alone
Rather than just looking at the price of a Mint Thread Lift,
it is important to assess your current face shape and degree of skin sagging.

The cost can vary depending on the number of threads needed and the design approach.
Furthermore, excessive lifting for your face shape
can lead to an unnatural appearance,
so it is crucial to determine a direction that suits your current lines.

It is important to consider natural facial contours and overall balance,
rather than simply aiming for strong lifting.
