Hello,
I am Dr. Jung-Geun Park,
Director of Face Plus Plastic Surgery Clinic.
Those preparing for a wedding often have one major concern.
They find a drastic change burdensome,
but wish for a clear and refined impression in photos.
In such cases, an approach that focuses on refining only the awkward-looking parts of the current face, rather than making major changes,
is important.
Among various options, thread lifting is a method used to refine one's appearance with relatively less burden.
I will calmly explain when it is an appropriate choice.

1. Important Criteria for Wedding Preparation
For wedding preparation, naturalness is more important than the extent of change.
In photos, a blurred jawline or a heavy lower face due to sagging around the mouth and cheeks
becomes more prominent.
Therefore, the key is to refine these areas rather than trying to change the entire face.
Overfilling with volume or aggressively pulling can create an unnatural look,
so focusing on refining only the necessary parts of the current face is more appropriate.
2. When Thread Lifting is Appropriate
Thread lifting involves inserting threads under the skin to support sagging tissue upwards.
It is often considered for early stages of sagging that are not severe,
or when surgery is too burdensome.
It is also frequently chosen in situations where a long recovery period is difficult to accommodate due to scheduling.
This procedure is not just about pulling; the results vary depending on the layer and direction in which the threads are inserted,
making a design tailored to the facial structure crucial.
3. Key Points for a Natural Look
For wedding preparation, ‘an undetectable change’ is the most important criterion.
Often, simply refining the jawline and around the mouth, rather than strongly pulling the face,
can make the impression much cleaner.
In fact, a naturally refined face looks more stable in photos than an overly lifted face.
Furthermore, applying only as much as needed, rather than making many changes at once,
helps reduce awkwardness.
4. Preparation Timeline and Recovery Plan
Thread lifting generally has a fast recovery, but initial swelling or bruising may occur.
Therefore, it is better to prepare with ample time rather than rushing the procedure to meet an important schedule.
Typically, undergoing the procedure about 3-4 weeks in advance allows swelling to subside and the face to settle into a natural state.
If done too close to the event, residual swelling or tightness may remain, so it is important to plan the schedule in advance.
Wedding preparation is less about creating a new face and more about refining the current one.
Thread lifting is one method that fits this criterion, but setting the scope according to the current condition is key to determining the outcome.
