Thread Lift

Description

A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. The process begins with a thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner who evaluates the patient's skin condition and discusses the desired outcomes. Once the treatment area is marked, local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. The practitioner then inserts medical-grade absorbable threads, usually made of polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), or polycaprolactone (PCA), under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip the underside of the skin, allowing the practitioner to manipulate and reposition the skin to achieve a lifted appearance. After the threads are strategically placed and adjusted, they anchor into the deeper layers of the skin, providing immediate lifting effects. Over the following months, the threads stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen production which further enhances skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the number of threads used. Following the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which usually subsides within a few days. Results can last from one to three years, depending on individual factors and the type of threads used. Post-procedure care includes avoiding strenuous activity and excessive facial movements for a few weeks to ensure optimal results.

Ilumi Plastic Surgery Clinic diagnoses patients' conditions with precision and proceeds systematically from surgery through recovery to post-operative management. The clinic places a high emphasis on listening to the opinions of each and every patient, not solely for the purpose of achieving aesthetic enhancements through surgery but also to foster psychological improvement. Ilumi Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam offers a variety of procedures aiming at enhancing aesthetics and addressing various cosmetic concerns. Below are explanations for each procedure: Rhinoplasty: This procedure aims to reshape or resize the nose to improve its appearance and proportion in relation to the rest of the face. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose. Double Eyelid Surgery: This surgery creates a crease in the eyelid that appears when the eyes are open. It's popular in East Asia for those desiring a “double eyelid” look. It can make the eyes appear larger and more rounded, enhancing the facial aesthetics. Cheekbone Reduction: This procedure involves the reduction of the cheekbones to achieve a more contoured and less angular facial profile. It is sought by individuals looking to soften prominent cheekbones and achieve a more balanced facial appearance. Square Jaw Reduction: This surgical procedure aims to refine the lower facial profile by reducing the width of the jaw, resulting in a more oval or V-shaped face. It's often performed to achieve a softer, more feminine jawline. Jaw Tip Reduction: This surgery focuses on reducing the size of the chin or jaw tip for a more proportionate facial balance. It can help soften a pronounced chin or reshape an asymmetrical jaw tip. Two Jaw Surgery: Also known as bi-maxillary osteotomy, this invasive procedure corrects severe jaw discrepancies. It involves the surgical repositioning of both the upper and lower jaws to improve their function and aesthetics. Double Chin Surgery: This procedure targets the removal of excess fat and skin under the chin to redefine the jawline and eliminate the appearance of a double chin. It can involve liposuction or surgical excision techniques. PRP Fat Grafting: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) fat grafting is a two-step procedure that combines fat transfer with PRP injections. Fat is harvested from one area of the body, enriched with PRP, and then injected into another area to enhance volume, texture, and overall appearance. Breast Augmentation: This surgical procedure increases the size and enhances the shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. It's sought by individuals looking to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy or to achieve a more rounded breast shape. These procedures require thorough consultations to assess the individual's needs, expectations, and suitability. Each surgery entails specific preparatory steps, recovery times, potential risks, and expected outcomes that should be clearly understood by patients prior to proceeding.
