Thread Lifting + Liposuction

Thread Lifting and Liposuction Together

Synergy Effect!

Changes due to aging occur simultaneously from the bones to the skin. The changes that take place inside are just invisible. There are many causes of visible wrinkles and sagginess, and the most well-known reasons are changes in the volume of the face and sagginess caused by gravity. As we get older, the skin loses its elasticity, just like the wind slowly falls out of a balloon. In addition, as the skin is pulled down by gravity, the nasolabial folds deepen and a grumpy look appears.

The basic of anti-aging is to fill the hollow parts through fat graft or filler and improve the sagging parts through lifting. Botox is also used to prevent more wrinkles around the eyes, brows, and forehead where there is a lot of movement. The main cause of aging is different for each part, so accurate diagnosis is very important.

Dr. Jaesang Barn from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic said “Lifting includes procedures using ultrasound or high frequency, such as Ulthera and Thermage, thread lifting, and incision lifting. Each method has clear effects, limitations, advantages and disadvantages. In order to compensate for the shortcomings and maximize the effect, several procedures are performed together and differently approached like mini lifting.”

Thread lifting has the advantage of being relatively simple and quick recovery without incision. However, without considering the shape of the face and the aging status, thread lifting itself will not be effective. For example, if the cheekbones are wide and the chin is short, face may look wide when the tissue is pulled with a thread because the sagging flesh will be pushed upward to the cheekbones. Moreover, if there's also buccal fat sagging, thread lifting will result rather awkward look than before. In this case, buccal fat removal and fat graft to the short chin will improve the proportion of the face and also lifting effect.

Dr. Barn also said “Liposuction and fat graft do not require separate incision and suture, and can be performed simultaneously with thread lifting. However, if the skin is thin or fat is excessively extracted from a certain small part, skin may become uneven. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a plastic surgeon who has many clinical experience and can accurately diagnose patient's condition.”

Nasolabial Folds, What are the points to note when wanting to improve it?

Nasolabial Folds,

What are the points to note when wanting to improve it?

As you age, the wrinkles around your mouth are just as concerned as the wrinkles around your eyes. In particular, the marionette wrinkles and nasolabial folds are a representative aging process. Nasolabial folds are from the nose to the outer corners of the mouth, and marionette line is the wrinkles from the outer corners of the mouth toward the chin.

We will look ten years younger than our actual age without the wrinkles on the skin. However, nasolabial and marionette wrinkles are not easy to treat. It is difficult to see effects only with cosmetics or self-care. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in improving wrinkles with medical help. Botox and filler are easy and economical treatment to improve wrinkles around the mouth. It is especially good to use a long-lasting filler for nasolabial folds that have a lot of movement whenever you eat, drink, or speak.

If there is a limit to the effect with botox or filler, a lifting procedure can be considered. If you are young or if the wrinkles are not severe, laser lifting such as Thermage or Ulthera would be a good option. Laser lifting allows returning to daily life immediately after the procedure, and there is less worry about bruising and swelling because no needle is used during the procedure.

If the nasolabial fold is deeply resided or the age is over 40-50, thread lifting is preferred to laser lifting. In particular, the elastic band lifting is a procedure to restore the elasticity of the skin on the lower face such as cheeks and chins by using a special material elastic band instead of thread. It has higher tensile strength (tolerant to stretch) than conventional lifting threads. The lasting period is longer than the existing thread lifting.

If you are in your 50s to 60s or older, it is worth considering incisional face lifting. Face lifting is a surgery that removes wrinkles and tightens the skin by lifting up that is separated from the fascia layer after incising the back of the ear or the scalp to remove fat and sagging skin.

The important thing is that appropriate treatment in the earlier stage of aging significantly delays wrinkling rather than receiving a treatment after aging has been processed.
