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.

The Endotine has thorns shape

that help lifting up the skin tissue

to give a powerful change

in the wrinkle improvement of the forehead,

It’s the perfect time of age to have plastic surgery~ (Dr. Barn, Jaesang)

It’s the perfect time of age
to have plastic surgery~ (Dr. Barn, Jaesang)

As more and more middle-aged people are interested in cosmetics,
there are more '4060s' who decide on plastic surgery.
In actual Plastic Surgery Clinics,
1 out of 4 patients of year 2017 was at least in their 40s or older.
More than 60% of the total exceeded 5%.
As the number of middle-aged and elderly patients has increased,
more and more procedures have been targeted.
It summarized the types and precautions of plastic surgery for the middle-aged people.

1. What kind of treatment do the middle-aged people get?

Botox • Filler treatment to improve wrinkles and skin sagging
is been a long-term treatment of middle-aged people.
In recent years, middle-aged people plastic surgery has become more diverse
in these non-surgical treatments, such as upper and lower blepharoplasty,
face lifting, forehead lifting, and fat grafting.

Botox • Filler

When you get older, it’s naturally seen on your face.

In the past, many people would think that wrinkles is the medals of life,
but more and more people think that these medals should be actively eliminated
and improved for "anti-aging".
Botox is the most representative way to improve wrinkles.
When diluting a toxic substance called 'botulinum toxin' and injected it to the face,
muscle movements are paralyzed.
Technically, Botox doesn’t smooth the wrinkles,
but it suppresses the use of facial muscles and makes the appearing wrinkles to disappear.

Filler is more active treatment than Botox to remove wrinkles.
It is a principle treatment that fills or stuffed up wrinkles area with supplements.
Because of this difference, Botox and filler are used for different purposes.
While botox is effective for light wrinkles such as eye rim wrinkles
and wrinkles for certain facial expressions,
filler is effective for deep wrinkles like nasolabial fold and fine wrinkles
that does not really seen.
Both botox and filler have limitation lasting period for 6-12 months,
which is not permanent.

Face Lifting

It is usually performed when the elasticity of the skin starting to be droopy and saggy,

especially when the apple cheek skin is stretched.
Face lifting is attempted when we are getting older,
when the chin is sagging and the face looks bigger or has double chin,
and also when the skin next to the nose is severely saggy.
Lifting effect is assured by making incision on both front and back of both ears
and pull up the muscles and skin tightly.

Upper Blepharoplasty • Lower Blepharoplasty

It is the representative of middle-aged eye surgery.

Upper Blepharoplasty is an operation to raise the drooping upper eyelid.
When the eyelids are droopy because aging and ▶ the vision is blocking
▶ look older ▶the eyelash pricks the eye due to the sagging eyelids.
It removes the drooping eyelid skin and pulls it up to complete a bright and clear eye.
Otherwise, Lower Blepharoplasty is performed when the under eye become saggy
or bulge due to aging.
If under eye sagginess is not severe,
you may be able to correct it by transconjunctival fat reposition,
but when under eye sagginess is severe,
Lower Blepharoplasty is the best choice as recommendation.
As it’s pulled naturally without changing the eye shape,
it can also be expected to improve dark circles,
wrinkles as well as sagginess under the eyes.

Forehead lift

The surgery is mainly operated on patients who want to improve forehead wrinkles

and glabella wrinkles at the same time.
The skin inside the head is incised and the wrinkle muscles are removed.
Afterwards, the forehead soft tissue is pulled up and fixed to the bone.

Fat grafting (fat transplant)

As aging progresses, there is indent area in all parts of the skin.
It transplants our own fat to fill the volume and make it look youthful.
It’s usually done to improve the lean thin apple cheek or nasolabial wrinkles mainly try.
It’s preferred for people who seem to have a skinny and strong impression.

Liposuction

Although it is not a field of plastic surgery,
many middle-aged and elderly people also go for liposuction.
When you get older, people usually say ’you get fats as age’.
The main parts of aging area are tummy, forearm, thigh, flank and back.
When you are older you have more visceral fat than subcutaneous fat.
Among these, fat that could be removed surgically is subcutaneous fat.
Visceral fat should be removed with exercise and diet.

2. Before and after plastic surgery precautions
for middle-aged people

The ‘after plastic surgery’ is the most common conflict area, regardless of age problem.
The result of surgery satisfaction is subjective.
Especially, as the middle-aged plastic surgery increases,
their noise trend also increases.
National Institute for Healthcare Reform from April 2012 to December 2015 filed that
among plastic surgery conflicts, 45.7 percent of those in their 40s or older
were involved in plastic surgery conflicts
and another 10.8 percent of those were also found to have been over the age of 60.

Do not expect too much

Do not expect the same effect/result as before and after post-operative photos

designed for advertising and promotional purposes.
You should not be blinded by an advertisement that says ‘it’s definitely effective”
or an exaggerated advertisement says they’re going to refund if it does not work.
Rather than trying to be pretty by doing various surgeries,
it is better to approach it to improve face line
that cause bad impression due to aging.

Take your time to decide carefully

Plastic Surgery for beauty is not an emergency surgery.
It is necessary to double check precisely the surgery related information
(surgery method, expected effect, side effect, recovery treatment time, precautions),
actively ask the medical staff for explanation and decide whether to go for the operation.
It is good to avoid following the trend.
It is going to be highly satisfactory to go for the plastic surgery in the form
and shape that fit your own face.

Check the surgery hospital & performance

It is true that there are so many clinics makes us confused about which one to choose.
It is important to carefully read and select the latter,
but there are going to be more confusion because there are many stories written
for advertising and publicity purposes.
At this time, it is good to look closely at the signboard of the clinic.
The hospital where the plastic surgeon specializes is marked as "XX Plastic Surgery Clinic"
without changing the order of the letters.
The word 'Plastic Surgery' is not all necessarily a specialist/ expert in plastic surgery.
For example, "XX Plastic Surgery", "XX Medical Department Plastic Surgery",
"XX Clinic Medical Department Plastic Surgery ", and "XX Plastic Surgery Center"
are not all Specialized in Plastic Surgery or have plastic surgeons.

It is also a good idea to check your doctor's specialty directly.
Since only one plastic surgeon among a number of doctors in a hospital can give you a sign,
check the hospital's homepage or personal information
to make sure that the "plastic surgeon" is correctly spelled out.
The plastic surgery specialist is indicated as
"Completion of plastic surgery major of XX University Hospital,
acquisition of plastic surgery specialist".

You also need to know which doctor is in charge of the actual surgery.
Especially, counseling and surgery may be conducted separately.
If you have a large number of surgeons who participates in the surgery,
you should ask who participates and what role they play.

Medical records • Photo • Surgery consent forms

The content of the consent form is the most important evidence
for the protection of patients' rights in the event of medical conflicts.
It is good to read it carefully.
The consent form includes a clear and detailed description of
surgery area, content, side effects, and after effect.
After you have confirmed it, sign the agreement.
Ask the hospital for a copy and keep it for you.

It is also necessary to take a picture of yourself especially face before surgery.
Preoperative and postoperative images are important data
for evaluating the effectiveness of surgery,
and are used as an objective basis for medical conflicts.

You have to advice the clinic the medicine you are taking or decease you have.

Middle-aged people are more likely to have chronic diseases
such as hypertension and diabetes.
Before the surgery, you should discuss with your doctor or medical specialist beforehand
and decide whether to perform the surgery.
Fasting and anesthesia for diabetic patients
who undergo forehead and face lifting may lead to hypoglycemic shock.
In addition, as diabetic patients do not have good hemostasis when they have bleeding,
and their wounds do not easily heal after surgery,
so preoperative blood glucose level adjustment is essential.

Hypertension is the same. Blood pressure changes during surgery and bleeding may occur.
You should tell the medicines you are taking or your supplement also.
Aspirin has side effects that interfere with the platelet coagulation,
which can be a problem when bleeding occurs on the surgery.
Do not take any supplements about 1 to 2 weeks before and after surgery
because of the risk of bleeding during surgery even if you are taking non-side effects’
female hormone medications, vitamins and herbal medicines.

Middle-aged patients have a lower metabolic rate than younger patients,
so it is easier to have an effect even for a relatively small amount
of antibiotics or anesthetics.
Therefore, it is advisable to choose a hospital equipped with an anesthesia system
so that the accurate judgment of the medical staff is very important
when the incision is performed or the operation requiring anesthesia is performed.

Face lifting new trend '' Elastic band surgery '', less burden and long lasting (Anti-Aging surgery Specialized Medical team)

Face lifting new trend '' Elastic band surgery '',

less burden and long lasting

(Anti-Aging surgery Specialized Medical team)

Members of Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic Anti-Aging Medical team,

Dr. Han, Kyunam,  Dr. Kim Harkyoung, Dr. Noh, Yongjoon,

and Representative Dr. Barn, Jaesang(from left)

are discussing the latest surgical technique, elastic band lifting.

The rumor of 'Anti-aging' demand to look younger

has increased dramatically in recent years.

Recently, Anti-Aging plastic surgery and treatment procedures,

which are represented by Botox, filler and thread lifting, have been repeatedly evolving.

Dr. Barn, Jaesang, head of Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic Anti-Aging Medical team said,

"As we continue to keep doing research on better cancer treatment,

we are constantly researching and developing to find safer

and more effective treatments in Anti-Aging field”.

◇ Less burden than thread lifting, definite effect as Face lifting

This is a surgery method from Anti-Aging Medical team’s convinced new treatment,

'Elastic Band'.

There were only two main methods of pulling up the droopy skin which were

'Thread lifting' which pulls up the skin with a few threads under the skin,

and 'Facial Lifting', which pulls the entire skin after peeling off the skin tissue.

Both procedures have advantages and disadvantages.

The thread lifting was simple and less burdensome, but it did not last long.

Short term for about 6 months, longest for only about 2 years

and the skin would become saggy again.

This is because the pulling thread tension which pulls up the skin

(tension, pulling force) weakens after it’s inserted in the skin.

When solid yarns from outside the body go under the skin,

usually it becomes mushy within a year.

It’s caused by the fact that our body recognizes the thread as a foreign substance

and is gradually broken down by the reaction of white blood cells.

Although facial lifting is certainly effective and semi-permanent,

it takes a long time for restoration because of ​​skin incision

and desquamation areas are large, and the side effects risk is also huge.

The surgical procedure using elastic band is the emerging technique

in order to overcome these advantages.

It’s a surgery that only takes advantages from the existing thread lifting and facial lifting.

It uses a special material called ‘elastic band’ instead of the thread that loses tension over time.

The elastic band is made of silicone in the middle,

and the embossing polyester is attached on both sides of the silicon.

Unlike the existing thread, it does not get soften in the body,

so it lasts the pulling power permanently.

Since it was originally used as a medical material

for reconstructing joint tendon surgery such as knee,

it plays a tendon role in the body. Dr. Barn, Jaesang said,

"The elastic band has excellent coherence to the human body,

has less irritation feeling and is safe.

Surgical burden is less than facial lifting and recovery period is shorter."

The elastic band lifting was first attempted in Korea four years ago

by a the president Doctor, Dr. Barn, Jaesang,

and about 2000 patients have been operated by him until recently.

All of the patients who have undergone surgery have maintained the lifting effect until now.

Although the number of plastic surgeons performing new elastic band surgery

has increased a little over the past one to two years,

the Plastic Surgery Clinic that has performed surgery for 2000 cases

is only one in Banobagi Plastic Surgery.

◇ Endoscopic procedure to fix forehead and eye wrinkles simultaneously

If elastic band surgery is attempted mainly for cheek and jaw lifting, eye and forehead wrinkles are each performed by Upper Blepharoplasty and forehead lifting. The problem was that in the case of the Upper Blepharoplasty, the distance between the eye and the eyebrow became narrower in the process of cutting the sagging eye area, which caused fierce impression. On the other hand, forehead lifting had a disadvantage which is high burden of surgery.

To improve these advantages,

new techniques have been introduced for the eye and forehead areas.

It’s a method of endoscopes and new implants called ‘endotine’

are used to spread eye and forehead wrinkles at once.

Instead of incise and desquamate the entire forehead as in existing forehead lifting method,

they made small holes in three places

and they input an endoscope to grab and pulls the skin tissue.

The skin tissue is fixed and pulled up with a sort of hook material, called endotine.

This implant approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

to fully absorbed into the body after 9 to 12 months and fully maintain the tension

while pulling up the skin and fix the soft tissues.

Chief Dr. Kim Harkyoung said, "I used to think that only upper blepharoplasty

or eye ptosis correction that could correct the eye to improve drooping eyes,

but when I perform forehead lift, it’s preferable since it has fewer scars

and the result is more natural."

◇ Botox • Filler and upper blepharoplasty are also 'more exquisite'

Techniques are also evolving in the most commonly implemented procedures

such as upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty, Botox and filler.

What is as important as removing wrinkles is maintaining the original impression.

Chief Dr. Han, Kyunam as the eye specialist said,

"The Anti-Aging surgery in Banobagi Plastic Surgery

is not pursuing 'slow-aging' rather than 'anti-aging'.

Since we couldn’t stop aging, we are trying to grow old slowly.”

Dr. Noh, Yongjoon who takes in charge of Botox, Filler and thread lifting said,

“It is consider as simple operation,

but it requires a very detailed technique to make a natural result.

Careful selection and treatment eventually lead to safe and effective results."
