Hello,

I am Dr. Park Jeong-geun,

Director of Faceplus Plastic Surgery Clinic

at Sinsa Station Plastic Surgery.

When researching thread lifting, most people first

look for reviews.

If there are many clear before-and-after photos or posts expressing satisfaction,

trust naturally develops.

However, reviews often do not fully reflect

an individual's facial condition.

This is because the starting point of sagging, the degree of skin elasticity, and the direction and extent of thread application

all differ from person to person.

This is why even if the same procedure name is used, the perceived results

can vary.

Therefore, rather than deciding based solely on reviews,

it's necessary to also consider the conditions under which those results

were achieved.

For thread lifting, you should look at the structure more than the wrinkles.

Many people consider thread lifting because they are concerned about visible wrinkles,

but the actual cause is often a structural

descent rather than a surface skin issue.

The reason nasolabial folds or marionette lines appear deep is often due to the descent of the cheeks and soft tissues.

In such cases, thread lifting is not about directly smoothing out wrinkles,

but rather a method of repositioning the descended structures upwards to create a lighter impression.

Therefore, during the consultation process, rather than simply explaining ‘you have wrinkles, so we'll do it’,

it's important to explain which tissues have descended and where the threads should be placed to achieve a natural change.

Side effects differ in the process design.

The biggest concern when considering a procedure

is side effects.

Swelling, bruising, and a pulling sensation immediately after the procedure are relatively common

and usually subside during the recovery process.

However, if a foreign body sensation persists for a long time, or if you feel awkward when changing expressions,

it may be necessary to re-examine the insertion depth or direction.

Especially if a specific area feels stiff when moving your face,

you should also consider the possibility that the axis of action does not align with your facial muscle movements.

Furthermore, if a significant difference is felt between the left and right sides,

it is important to have an explanation that distinguishes whether it is part of the recovery process

or if adjustment is needed.

More important than the type of thread is how and where the force is distributed.

If this aspect is not sufficiently considered, discomfort may persist.

Therefore, it is necessary to clearly explain the possible changes and limitations beforehand.

Pre-procedure verification criteria more important than reviews.

Before deciding on a thread lift, you must check a few things.

First, whether there was an explanation about the starting point and cause of sagging on your face.

Second, it is also important whether a judgment was made on whether your current condition is suitable for improvement using threads.

Third, you must check whether the guidance on post-procedure care and the recovery process is specific.

More than the number of reviews or fame, how logically these explanations are connected

has a greater impact on satisfaction with the results.

I hope this article helps those who are considering thread lifting and looking for reviews

to organize their pre-procedure criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I decide on a thread lift based solely on reviews?

No, rather than deciding based solely on reviews, you should fully consider your individual facial condition (sagging location, skin elasticity, thread application direction, etc.). Reviews often do not reflect individual differences, so it is necessary to also consider the conditions under which the procedure results were achieved.

Is a thread lift a procedure that directly smooths out wrinkles?

No. A thread lift is not about directly smoothing out visible wrinkles, but rather a method of repositioning descended structures such as sagging cheeks or soft tissues upwards to create a lighter impression. Therefore, consultation is important to understand which tissues have descended and where the threads should be placed to achieve a natural change.

What are common side effects after a thread lift?

Swelling, bruising, and a pulling sensation immediately after the procedure are relatively common and usually subside during the recovery process. However, if a foreign body sensation persists for a long time, or if you feel awkward when changing expressions, stiffness in a specific area, or significant left-right differences, it may be necessary to re-examine the insertion depth or direction.

What should I definitely check before a thread lift procedure?

Yes, you should check three things. First, whether there was an explanation about the starting point and cause of sagging on your face. Second, whether a judgment was made on whether your current condition is suitable for improvement using threads. Third, confirm whether specific guidance was provided on post-procedure care and the recovery process.

Is the type of thread the most important factor in a thread lift?

No. More important than the type of thread is how and where the force is distributed. If this aspect is not sufficiently considered, discomfort may persist, so it is necessary to clearly explain the possible changes and limitations beforehand.
