Hello, this is On Clinic. Today, we'd like to share the experience of a patient who underwent thread lifting, having been concerned about nasolabial folds and overall facial sagging. The patient mentioned that over time, their face had sagged generally, with particularly severe drooping around the mouth.
Meticulous 1:1 Customized Consultation: Individual Facial Analysis
The patient was looking for a clinic with extensive clinical experience in lifting procedures and visited On Clinic based on a friend's recommendation. I, Dr. Donggeun Lee, meticulously analyzed the patient's face shape and degree of sagging to create a customized treatment plan.
I explained that for patients with less cheek volume, like this individual, a 'reverse method' of lifting from bottom to top can yield more natural and effective results than a downward pulling technique. We meticulously designed the sagging areas using 7 threads on each side, totaling 14 threads, and used a tablet to visually demonstrate the expected lifting direction and effects, ensuring the patient's full understanding. The patient received an accurate diagnosis of their pre-procedure facial condition through 3D scanning, followed by cleansing and disinfection, before proceeding with the main treatment.
Safe and Delicate Thread Lifting Procedure
Before the thread lifting procedure, local anesthesia is administered to minimize discomfort. While there might be a slight stinging sensation during the anesthesia process, the procedure itself was carefully performed to ensure the patient's comfort without pain.
I informed the patient that for 1-2 weeks after the procedure, they might experience a slight stinging sensation when making sudden large expressions or movements. However, I reassured them that this is a natural phenomenon as the threads dissolve and will disappear, so there's no need to worry.
Thread lifting goes beyond simply inserting threads; it's crucial to precisely hook the threads onto the 'fascia,' a firm membrane in the face. Since the fascia is much firmer than the general skin layer, fixing the threads here can ensure a long-lasting lifting effect. I performed the procedure by gently scraping into this area to firmly secure the threads. Immediately after the procedure, the face might appear slightly unevenly swollen due to the anesthetic solution, but this also naturally subsides over time.
On Clinic's thread lifting goes beyond simply pulling the skin; it delivers natural and long-lasting lifting effects through customized design that considers the structural characteristics of the face and skilled techniques. Our goal is to find the most suitable method for each individual's face, providing the highest level of satisfaction.
