A. Yes, that's correct. thread Lift and facial liposuction are often performed together as the combined procedure shows greater improvement in facial contours and lifting effect of sagging tissues compared to individual procedures. It also offers longer-lasting results.

A. Mini contour lift is a procedure that is recommended for those who want to undergo thread Lift and facial liposuction together.
It is designed to focus on correcting specific areas, such as sagging jawline, double chin, and sagging cheeks, rather than severe aging signs. If the sagging area is extensive or severe, additional thread Lift or facial liposuction in other areas may be considered.

A. When there is a significant amount of facial fat in the treated areas, the lifted facial tissues can be anchored more effectively, and the results tend to last longer. On the other hand, if facial liposuction is performed alone, the skin may lose its elasticity more easily after fat removal.
Therefore, thread Lift and facial liposuction are often recommended together to achieve optimal lifting effects and contour improvement.

A. We use Epiticon® threads, a patented development by Dr. Jung Young Choon, the founder of our clinic.
These threads are melting threads that have the ideal strength, tensile strength, and anchoring capability for lifting heavier tissues.
Generally, around 10 threads are used per area for thread lift and even fewer threads may be used for the Mini Contour Lift procedure, which is designed to concentrate on specific localized areas in combination with facial liposuction.

A. The results of facial liposuction are considered permanent as the removed facial fat does not return. However, the thread lift procedure involves anchoring the lifted facial tissues, and the longevity can vary depending on individual tissue adhesion.
If thread Lift is performed without facial liposuction, there is a risk that the threads may detach or the cogs may dissolve before sufficient tissue adhesion occurs, resulting in reduced lifting effects. The material of the threads also affects the longevity of the results. Epiticon® threads are designed with a unique structure to minimize the risk of cog dissolution or breakage, and their longevity is optimized for effective and long-lasting lifting results.

A. The procedure is performed with minimal incisions using a cannula, so the scars are not significant.
The resulting marks are slightly larger than needle marks and fade over time, becoming less noticeable.
If there are concerns about the scarring, personalized scar management programs, such as laser treatments, can be helpful in reducing the appearance of scars over time.

A. After the surgery, there may be minor bleeding or hematoma formation from even small impacts between 1 to 3 days post-surgery.
Don't be worried, you can gently apply clean gauze or tissue to the affected area for about 3 minutes to stop the bleeding.
Be cautious not to let water get into the surgical area, and avoid chewing on hard or tough foods. It's best to refrain from opening your mouth too wide until you have fully recovered.
Also, avoid bending your head forward for an extended period, and for at least 3 to 5 days, try to sleep with your head elevated higher than your heart.
Furthermore, it's recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for about a month after the surgery.
