◈ Before & After
◈ Why HERSHE thread lifting

Hence, the surgeon’s comprehension skills, knowledge about complex facial structure, human anatomy and the thread are highly required which directly determine the result of surgery. Therefore, the specialized surgeon with rich-experiences and high-degree of knowledge through understanding of anatomy and the lifting thread, as well as the aesthetic sense is significant factor to determine the result of thread lifting surgery.
