What kind of sagging and wrinkles can thread lift help?
Thread lift is a procedure that supports the sagging tissue in the desired direction by inserting a special medical absorbent thread into the required depth. You can manage sagging cheeks, blurred jaws, and wrinkles on the cheeks and mouth, but it is not a way to correct severe sagging like surgery.
The type of thread, insertion depth, and support direction depend on the condition of the skin, fat, and SMAS layer. When looking for a thread lift in Busan, you should consult the position, cause, and expected changes of the sagging rather than the number of threads.
Under what conditions can I consider thread lift?
It can be considered when the skin elasticity is reduced and the contour line is blurred, the cheeks are sagging and the jawline is collapsed, and wrinkles on the eyelids, mouth, and eyes are a concern. In the case of excessive skin sagging, large amount of fat, and skeletal changes, surgical methods such as facial esthesis should be compared together.

What's the difference between thread lift and facial eeltath?
Thread lift is a non-incision procedure that supports the absorbent thread tissue, and the facial elogation is a surgery that adjusts the sagging tissue wider through the incision. The degree of sagging, the recovery period, and the desired range of change are the selection criteria.

When to check the effect and how much is it maintained?
Thread lift evaluates the results after the support change immediately after the procedure and the swelling subsides. Changes in the collagen environment around the thread can take time, and the actual changes vary depending on the skin condition and the degree of sagging.
The maintenance period of the hospital is about 6 months for the mono room, about 1 year for the mint room, and about 1 year and a half to 2 years for the epiticon room, but there are individual differences. The time of re-sup is determined by looking at the type of thread, the degree of sagging and the course.
What should I know about pain, recovery, and side effects?
The treatment time is about 30 to 60 minutes and the recovery period is about 3 to 7 days. Bruise, swelling, and pulling are individual differences, so the shape immediately after the procedure should not be judged as the final result.
