It's been a week since I got nasolabial fold fillers and thread lifting at Gangnam Station, and I'm writing an honest before and after review.

I knew that wrinkles start to form as you enter your 40s, but I realized there is a point where they suddenly deepen significantly. I have been self-conscious about them every time I look in the mirror since last winter, and even when I tried covering them with foundation, it seemed to settle into the wrinkles and make them more noticeable, so I eventually decided I needed to do something about it.

I spent a long time comparing whether to get just fillers or just thread lifting. I heard a lot of people say that since fillers add volume while threads provide elasticity, combining them makes the effects last longer. There is a treatment called "Nasolabial Fold Remover" that combines both, so I chose that.

I went to a clinic located right in front of Exit 12 at Gangnam Station, and the reason I chose it was that the board-certified plastic surgeon provides one-on-one service. I once had a procedure at a factory-style clinic where I didn't even know who was doing it, and since then, I tend to avoid places like that. Since it operates on a 100% reservation system, there was no waiting time, and I was able to receive the treatment in complete privacy.

I had a consultation before the procedure, and the director examined my facial condition and carefully pointed out which areas needed treatment and how much was required. They also explained everything I asked, so I was able to proceed with a clear understanding.

I applied numbing cream for 10 minutes, received an injection, and started the procedure; it wasn't as painful as I expected. There wasn't much bruising or swelling immediately after the procedure, so I went to work the very next day, and it didn't interfere with my daily life. The anesthesia wore off after about 3 hours.

They applied a Medifoam bandage to the needle insertion site and told me to keep it on for 3 days. They also advised applying ice packs for 10 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day, to reduce swelling. I did this consistently at home, and after 3 days, the swelling subsided significantly.

I was careful because they told me it takes about two weeks for the threads to settle, so touching or pressing on the area before then could cause asymmetry. They also advised me to avoid high-frequency or laser treatments for four weeks, so I adjusted my other treatment schedule accordingly.

It is exactly the 7th day now, and as the filler settles, the foreign body sensation has almost disappeared, and I can see with my own eyes that my nasolabial folds have softened. You mentioned that the collagen lifting effect gradually appears starting from 2 to 4 weeks and settles more naturally after 2 to 3 months, so even though the full effect hasn't appeared yet, I am satisfied with the results so far.

The director said that it is more effective if you get it 2 to 3 times, so I am also planning to get it one more time according to the schedule.

Has anyone here tried getting fillers and thread lifting together? Since it's my first time, I'm curious how much the results change with each session. If anyone has experience, let's chat!
