I consulted about removing nasolabial folds with a thread lift.
I'm feeling so stressed about my deepening nasolabial folds that I'm turning into a bulldog, so I went for a consultation and booked a thread lifting procedure. I want to share my story.
Please note that I will also record what a thread lifting procedure is.
What is Silhouette Lifting?
As the name suggests, it refers to a procedure that involves inserting dissolvable threads into the body to tighten the skin and provide a lifting effect.
Mainly, I perform a lot of facial lifting procedures, and these days, I also treat sagging belly fat with thread lifting.
I decided to undergo a thread lifting procedure to eliminate nasolabial folds, but I was unsure which hospital to choose.
Just as a local acquaintance who had kept their procedure secret offered to introduce me to the hospital, we went together.
Not only the Silif lifting procedure but also a variety of other treatments, and I briefly wondered if receiving all of them at once could make me incredibly beautiful, haha.
I felt good because I was able to determine the treatment area and extent through a one-on-one consultation.
Some hospitals have doctors who decide the answers for you. In such cases, you should do this or that!!
However, the doctor I consulted with said that since appearance is ultimately for self-satisfaction, what matters most is how much you want and that the results should match your expectations to increase satisfaction. They listened very attentively to what I said.
And then you mentioned the side effects of thread lifting.
While it cannot be said that all procedures have a 0% risk of side effects, the thread lifting procedure is not considered to carry a significant risk of serious side effects, and you can be reassured about that.
I wanted to undergo the procedure immediately after the consultation, but I waited a bit and made the reservation.
Since I was worried, they told me I could make a reservation and cancel afterward, so I went ahead and booked it, haha.
I was a little worried that I might become someone whose expression disappears because I messed up my laugh lines.
A friend of mine told me after seeing that side of me.
Even if that's the case, it's a melting thread, so it will come back again, haha.

- 01CommentsI also looked into this after getting the procedure, and I found that with lifting creams, it is more important to observe how hydration and skin elasticity change over consistent use rather than focusing on the immediate improvement. If you are concerned about sagging around the mouth or wrinkles, it is a good idea to look into products containing peptides or ceramides, and start with a small amount of a product that suits your skin well.520026.10.18
- 02CommentsIf you have many shallow fine lines on your neck, you can consider skin boosters or PN-based injections; if you are concerned about sagging skin and loss of elasticity, you can consider radiofrequency lifting treatments like Oligio. Deep horizontal wrinkles are difficult to improve with lifting alone and may require procedures such as fillers, but careful consideration is crucial due to the neck's high concentration of blood vessels and structures. It is recommended to choose skin boosters for fine lines, radiofrequency for loss of elasticity, and a customized treatment for deep horizontal wrinkles following a specialist's diagnosis.510026.10.24
- 03CommentsOnda Lifting can help reduce a double chin and submental fat, while also refining the jawline. InMode uses radiofrequency energy to induce fat reduction and improve skin elasticity, and the treatment mode is selected specifically by considering both the fat layer and skin sagging. If you have thick submental fat, you can consider Onda, while if you are concerned about both fat and skin sagging, you can consider specific InMode modes; however, the effectiveness varies depending on the individual's fat volume and skin condition. Both procedures may cause swelling and bruising. Costs vary depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and equipment settings. If you have little cheek volume or are concerned about cheek hollowing, it is advisable to carefully determine the treatment area and intensity to minimize fat reduction.530026.10.24
- 01CommentsI think this is a perfectly understandable concern you might have while on your diet. When you hit a plateau, slightly adjusting your usual diet or adding light strength training to boost your basal metabolic rate are good solutions. I hope you don't give up and continue with your healthy routine!1535026.10.26
- 02CommentsI also looked for lifting creams before getting a consultation. I could definitely feel the hydration when I applied them, but I didn't really notice any significant improvement in my pores. However, since consistently moisturizing and taking good care of your skin's condition through sun protection helps, I think it would be a good idea to start with home care rather than expecting dramatic results.520026.10.18
- 03CommentsI think it would be better to make a decision after comprehensively considering your current skin elasticity, degree of sagging, and skin thickness, rather than just your age. Rather than starting immediately, it would be advisable to get a thorough consultation to determine if the procedure is necessary and to check for potential side effects or the recovery period before making a choice.473126.10.23
- 01CommentsI see you were very curious about the downtime for the Onda Lifting procedure due to concerns regarding jawline elasticity. While individual differences exist, the Onda Lifting generally causes minimal bruising or swelling, so only slight redness usually occurs on the day of the procedure. You can apply makeup and resume your daily activities without any issues the following day, so please feel free to schedule a consultation.821026.10.09
- 02CommentsIf it were me, I would start by getting the procedure that is your top priority. If your biggest concern is sagging facial contours, I would recommend Ultherapy; if you are more concerned about dull skin, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, I would suggest consulting about Thermage first. Then, observe the results for about two months and proceed with treatments to address any remaining issues. Rather than getting both procedures at once, I think it is better to try one first, taking your skin condition into account!942126.10.21
