Thread Lift Precautions and How to Reduce the Risk of Side Effects
There is a saying that you can avoid the rain, but you cannot avoid time.
It is said that once people pass their mid-20s, experiencing aging is
a natural phenomenon.
At first, you may not be aware of it, but when you look in the mirror one day,
and discover sagging skin and fine lines that have stretched and deepened,
you may feel upset and wonder whether it can be
reversed.
However, wrinkles that have already deepened and sagging skin
are not easy to restore to their original state.
Even when using cosmetics said to improve wrinkles, the effect was only temporary.
When using masks or eye creams, a temporary boost of moisture
may be possible, but for long-lasting effects and noticeable improvement,
it felt somewhat insufficient.
For these reasons, I felt that more people have been visiting lifting plastic surgery clinics
to receive thread lifting.
Because there are many different types of lifting procedures performed at our clinic,
it was important to use the appropriate method according to each person’s goal or current condition and establish a treatment plan.
| Close-contact thread lifting | Double chin, loose skin, neck wrinkles, hollow nasolabial folds and more Only the areas you choose, selectively |
| Fix thread lifting | Lost elasticity after facial contouring surgery, sagging after rapid weight loss, or sagging due to thin skin |
| Thread lifting | You had a thread lift before but experienced side effects such as the dimple phenomenon You also want your neck wrinkles improved Your skin has sagged unevenly You have deep wrinkles You want to improve both wrinkles and sagging skin at the same time |
| Mini lifting | Your skin sags even though you are in your 20s or 30s Your skin is thin and you worry a dimple may appear after a lifting procedure Frequent expressions and movement have left wrinkles around the mouth, and you want to improve a face that looks gloomy even at rest Sagging midface skin makes your face look longer You have vertical neck wrinkles |
| Contour lifting | Fat and sagging skin have created a double chin Neck wrinkles make you self-conscious about your neck You want a smooth facial contour and a wrinkle-free neckline |
When receiving thread lifting to improve elasticity and wrinkles,
it was also necessary to consider what kinds of side effects may occur.
Although many people seek out this procedure hoping for a lifting effect,
it was important to check the precautions carefully.
A representative side effect is known as the “dimple phenomenon.”
Dimple phenomenon?
A dimple is a word that means a small indentation like a dimple,
but when used as a term for a side effect,
it refers to a depression in the skin.
It can occur when the thread is not inserted in the correct position,
when the thread is pulled too excessively,
or when the procedure is performed in a way that does not take the skin condition into account.
This can happen in such cases.
As such, the results and satisfaction of thread lifting can vary greatly depending on the medical team’s know-how, delicate hand movements,
and technique.
At our clinic, we perform
“Elasticum Lifting,” a thread lift that aims to improve both elasticity and sagging skin.
What is Elasticum Lifting?
It is made of an elastic
material, and when inserted into the treatment area,
it is said to perform a role similar to the ligaments of the human body.
Over time, it adapts to the facial expression muscles
so natural movement could be expected.
Many people worried that if the pulling and fixation were strong,
it might look artificial or feel unnatural.
However, Elasticum lifting is similar to the ligaments of the human body
and is characterized by a soft feel like subcutaneous tissue.
In addition, for those concerned about aging, sagging buttocks that have lost elasticity,
we were also able to offer a solution.
In particular, with the previous Elasticum, as time passed after the procedure,
even if patients wanted removal due to discomfort such as a foreign-body sensation,
removal was not possible.
The current Elasticum thread, however, can be removed and was designed with safety in mind.
Thread lifting prices often differ by as little as 50,000 KRW and as much as 200,000 KRW,
or even more.
However, it is not advisable to choose a clinic simply because
it is inexpensive due to cost concerns.
It is better to choose a place that considers each individual's skin texture, muscle condition, concerns about looseness and sagging, and more,
and can provide one-on-one customized care.
That was the better choice.
Only then could patients achieve good results and satisfaction.
Anti-aging plastic surgery at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, guided by honest principles
At our clinic, where "Elasticum thread lifting" is performed,
we considered this a surgery that should look after outward concerns such as wrinkles or sagging skin
and the patient’s state of mind as well.
We worked to help restore the confidence that declines
as one's appearance changes with age.
That is why, for every surgery, we have continued to think about and study how to achieve
safe and satisfying results.
Also at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, the procedure plan was established directly through palpation by
a board-certified plastic surgeon
who focuses primarily on lifting surgery.
Depending on the diagnosis, fat removal or a mini facelift
could be performed together, and improvement may be expected from both.
