I had a facial thread lift at Dr. Jeong Clinic, and people around me say my face looks like it has come alive, which makes me happy haha. My facial contour is still holding up well without feeling like it has sagged again, so I am satisfied. I do not have an especially full face, but I was concerned that the lower part somehow looked heavy. My lateral cheeks were slightly hollow, but my deep cheek fat and jaw area looked unrefined, so every time I took photos, both my face shape and firmness seemed diminished T_T At first I considered other lifting treatments such as contouring injections, Ultherapy, and InMode. But rather than a temporary effect that only looked like swelling had gone down, I wanted a facial lift to refine the sagging-looking facial contour. That led me to look into thread lifting. After comparing several places, I received a Mint thread lift plus a double-chin thread lift at Dr. Jeong Clinic. Since thread lifting involves placing threads directly into the face, I naturally chose the clinic very carefully. During my consultation with Dr. Jeong Yeon-ho, he examined my face and clearly explained which areas were needed and which did not need to be done at all, including double-chin liposuction and double-chin muscle tightening. I liked that. Since he also had many years of experience, I felt more trust during the consultation. I searched for many reviews of facial liposuction and thread lifting, and after receiving it myself, I understood which points matter. Along with the thread lift, I also received Botox for a pebbled chin and filler in the lateral cheeks. I also liked that the dissolvable thread lift can benefit the skin over time. It could have been done under sedation, but I was told it was also possible without sedation, so I chose no sedation. Personally, I think no sedation was better because I could check the result immediately. Before the procedure, the doctor explained everything in even more detail, improved my facial symmetry, and with the lateral-cheek filler, also softened the prominence of my cheekbones! Having everything done together meant the swelling subsided together, and I did not bruise badly, so I think I became prettier in a natural way haha. Since it was my first thread lift, I was very cautious at first because I worried about side effects, but I naturally adjusted over time. And the biggest change I notice as time has passed after thread lifting is when I apply makeup. When I do my makeup, I look closely at my face, so I can tell it has changed from before! I am satisfied because I can see that my facial contour is more defined after the thread lift. Having tried thread lifting, I personally think it is important not to insert as many threads as possible, but to tailor it to each person’s degree of facial sagging. For people like me, whose cheeks are hollow but whose lower face looks heavy, it would be good to ask the provider to examine this carefully during a thread-lift consultation. If it is done incorrectly, you could end up with a peanut-shaped face, so please research carefully before doing it haha.
