00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.119
(60-year-old female MINT thread lifting procedure STARTS!)

1
00:00:03.119 --> 00:00:04.465
Hello

2
00:00:04.465 --> 00:00:08.264
Ma’am, your facial features are really beautiful overall, 

3
00:00:08.264 --> 00:00:11.053
But you may appear older compared to that and if I had to pick

4
00:00:11.063 --> 00:00:13.103
the biggest reason for that would be

5
00:00:13.103 --> 00:00:16.513
are the smiles lines, on both of the sides here

6
00:00:16.513 --> 00:00:19.925
and I'm particularly concerned about these marionette lines

7
00:00:19.925 --> 00:00:24.305
Even when you're still, it seems like you have a habit of slightly puckering your lips

8
00:00:24.305 --> 00:00:26.678
Causing you to have a lot of wrinkles around your mouth in particular

9
00:00:26.678 --> 00:00:30.073
(Hahaha) It stands out even more when you draw it,

10
00:00:30.073 --> 00:00:34.515
As people age, everyone tends to develop smiles lines and marionette lines

11
00:00:34.515 --> 00:00:36.861
There are actually various ways to solve this

12
00:00:36.861 --> 00:00:38.781
You can fill it with fillers

13
00:00:38.781 --> 00:00:42.449
Or you can use natural lifting procedures to pull and remove wrinkles

14
00:00:42.449 --> 00:00:44.379
These are the mainly used methods

15
00:00:44.379 --> 00:00:48.011
Today, to form a face that has gone through natural lifting procedure

16
00:00:48.011 --> 00:00:52.773
And to remove wrinkles, we will assist you with a procedure called MINT Thread Lifting.

17
00:00:52.773 --> 00:00:57.211
(We will lift the smile lines area)
Slightly pulling this part of the face here

18
00:00:57.225 --> 00:00:58.995
We will lift it like this once

19
00:00:58.995 --> 00:01:04.022
(While solving the sagging cheek area)
Resolving the sagging parts together

20
00:01:04.022 --> 00:01:06.036
(To improve marionette wrinkles)
To improve these wrinkles

21
00:01:06.036 --> 00:01:10.592
We will pull the sagging skin in this area and fix it here

22
00:01:10.592 --> 00:01:14.832
There are many fillers specifically to flatten fine wrinkles

23
00:01:14.832 --> 00:01:16.560
(Fine wrinkles are treated with fine wrinkle fillers)
Using such fillers

24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.117
I will help to improve areas with fine wrinkles such as lip wrinkles

25
00:01:20.117 --> 00:01:24.053
The goal of the procedure is not to perform dramatic and artificial treatments

26
00:01:24.061 --> 00:01:25.781
Through natural treatment

27
00:01:25.781 --> 00:01:30.037
we will undergo a procedure to recover what your face looked like ten years ago

28
00:01:30.037 --> 00:01:31.542
-Please look forward to it. 
-Sure

29
00:01:31.542 --> 00:01:33.534
(MINT thread lifting treatment areas)
Smile lines

30
00:01:33.534 --> 00:01:35.289
Sagging cheek area

31
00:01:35.289 --> 00:01:37.040
Marionette lines

32
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.883
Double chin, jawline

33
00:01:38.883 --> 00:01:40.665
  Fine wrinkle filler

34
00:01:40.665 --> 00:01:43.055
(Early Doctor is preparing for the procedure)

35
00:01:43.055 --> 00:01:46.856
(I have applied numbing cream, painkillers, and local anesthesia)

36
00:01:46.856 --> 00:01:52.896
The smile lines you mentioned earlier, so this sagging area on the top of the smile lines

37
00:01:52.896 --> 00:01:56.529
These marionette lines and the sagging cheek area

38
00:01:56.529 --> 00:02:00.188
To lift these two areas, I will perform thread lifting

39
00:02:00.188 --> 00:02:04.749
People tend to be worried about  their cheeks looking a bit big after MINT thread procedure

40
00:02:04.749 --> 00:02:07.818
I will try to mark it in a way that makes your cheeks look less prominent

41
00:02:07.818 --> 00:02:11.432
As people age, the side of the cheeks tend to sag

42
00:02:11.432 --> 00:02:14.670
I can help create some anchor points there through the procedure

43
00:02:14.670 --> 00:02:18.997
(Sagging skin below the neck due to aging)
When you age, everyone has this loose skin below the neck

44
00:02:18.997 --> 00:02:22.801
If you pull it here, your face will look much more lifted

45
00:02:22.801 --> 00:02:26.589
(Finishing up the design)

46
00:02:26.589 --> 00:02:28.761
When viewed from the front

47
00:02:28.761 --> 00:02:32.037
(If we do a lift, it will go up like this)
It will go up like this

48
00:02:32.037 --> 00:02:35.770
I will try to make it go up even more from the bottom

49
00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:38.880
If it hurts too much, please let me know

50
00:02:39.643 --> 00:02:43.723
The MINT thread will be fixed and tied for the procedure

51
00:02:43.723 --> 00:02:46.721
The MINT threads being used today are called "15mm Fine"

52
00:02:46.721 --> 00:02:50.081
Which are the longest and most elastic amongst its type

53
00:02:50.081 --> 00:02:52.366
(The MINT thread is wrapped inside)
The thread is wound inside like this

54
00:02:52.366 --> 00:02:56.625
The cogs are arranged in a 360 degrees, zigzag pattern like so

55
00:02:56.625 --> 00:03:00.687
After fixing it precisely on the face, we will tie it up

56
00:03:00.687 --> 00:03:03.182
The thread is often just cut at this stage

57
00:03:03.182 --> 00:03:04.833
But our clinic perform what is called a "tie"

58
00:03:04.833 --> 00:03:07.675
To ensure it maintains from 6 months to over a year

59
00:03:07.675 --> 00:03:10.134
We will perform the tying procedure for a long-lasting outcome

60
00:03:10.134 --> 00:03:12.523
The thread is pulled up and tied slightly here

61
00:03:12.523 --> 00:03:15.387
So you may experience some discomfort for about a week

62
00:03:15.387 --> 00:03:16.582
Let me proceed

63
00:03:16.582 --> 00:03:19.390
(Some parts of the procedure are censored.
Cautions are required for the faint-hearted)

64
00:03:19.390 --> 00:03:21.331
(Mint thread lifting presented in LIVE)
(The thread is being inserted into the central point)

65
00:03:21.331 --> 00:03:22.952
How do you feel?

66
00:03:22.952 --> 00:03:24.248
It's okay

67
00:03:24.248 --> 00:03:27.032
- You're doing great. Is everything okay?
- Yes

68
00:03:27.032 --> 00:03:28.479
(Inserting an additional MINT thread)

69
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:34.291
The most important thing in thread lifting is to make sure it doesn't hurt

70
00:03:34.291 --> 00:03:37.342
Today, I applied numbing cream for a sufficient amount of time

71
00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:41.152
I also gave some painkillers along with local anesthesia

72
00:03:41.152 --> 00:03:43.595
So you probably won't need to worry so much about the pain

73
00:03:43.607 --> 00:03:45.967
- General anesthesia?
- I heard other places do general anesthesia

74
00:03:45.967 --> 00:03:46.984
It was done that way

75
00:03:46.984 --> 00:03:49.223
Our clinic doesn't do general anesthesia

76
00:03:49.223 --> 00:03:52.252
If you look at the thread here and the direction I'm pulling towards

77
00:03:52.252 --> 00:03:53.656
Can you see it lifting like this?

78
00:03:53.656 --> 00:03:56.729
To pull up this part, I can see the line go as so

79
00:03:56.729 --> 00:04:00.661
I set the lifting target and observe the area as I perform the procedure

80
00:04:00.661 --> 00:04:04.563
If one is asleep, the facial expression tends to distort, and so will the tone

81
00:04:04.563 --> 00:04:08.801
So I prefer not to use general anesthesia in pursuit of precise procedures

82
00:04:08.801 --> 00:04:13.949
When doing MINT thread lifting, many are concerned about "dimpling"

83
00:04:13.949 --> 00:04:15.482
So what is dimpling?

84
00:04:15.482 --> 00:04:19.151
The thread is held at this fixation point, and is being pulled like this

85
00:04:19.151 --> 00:04:23.245
It's called dimpling when the thread is pulled excessively and it looks crumpled like so

86
00:04:23.245 --> 00:04:27.456
So it is crucial to perform the procedure with caution to avoid such occurences

87
00:04:27.456 --> 00:04:29.810
Now let me proceed with the tying

88
00:04:29.810 --> 00:04:31.504
(Tying meticulously)

89
00:04:31.504 --> 00:04:33.669
You're enduring very well

90
00:04:33.669 --> 00:04:35.987
(The patient is not feeling much pain)
Are you good?

91
00:04:35.987 --> 00:04:41.076
It seems you have a slightly thin skin type

92
00:04:41.076 --> 00:04:45.436
So there are no dimpling, but if I pull it too lightly

93
00:04:45.436 --> 00:04:49.686
It tends to restore quickly when the thread is caught

94
00:04:49.686 --> 00:04:52.597
So I've actually lifted the thread a lot right now

95
00:04:52.597 --> 00:04:54.387
For a longer maintenance and more effective results

96
00:04:54.387 --> 00:04:58.825
This will naturally become smooth over time, so you don't need to worry about it

97
00:04:58.825 --> 00:04:59.855
(Early Doctor)

98
00:04:59.855 --> 00:05:02.995
(Swelling area: Center of side cheeks)
The lifting effect is shown from here through to here

99
00:05:02.995 --> 00:05:05.256
So most of the swelling will occur here

100
00:05:05.256 --> 00:05:06.952
Because the threads went like this

101
00:05:06.952 --> 00:05:12.451
The swelling here will naturally go away over time and become slim like this

102
00:05:12.451 --> 00:05:16.701
I receive a lot of questions about how to lift the smiles lines and Indian folds

103
00:05:16.701 --> 00:05:18.519
So, I'll help you with that too

104
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.589
(Lifting the smile lines and Indian folds by making a center point)

105
00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:27.109
(Insert the MINT thread along the guide line)

106
00:05:27.109 --> 00:05:28.883
Going in 

107
00:05:28.883 --> 00:05:33.567
(Insert the MINT thread)

108
00:05:33.567 --> 00:05:35.698
(Check if it is well secured)

109
00:05:35.698 --> 00:05:37.903
(Finish the remaining thread by cutting it)

110
00:05:37.903 --> 00:05:40.154
If you tie up the upper part of the face wrinkle here

111
00:05:40.154 --> 00:05:43.118
The cheekbones will appear larger and cause some discomfort

112
00:05:43.118 --> 00:05:45.358
So I prefer not to tie this part

113
00:05:45.358 --> 00:05:48.160
The saggy neckline has improved really dramatically here

114
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.073
(Insert the thread here by targeting it)

115
00:05:53.073 --> 00:05:55.203
-Thank you for enduring it so well
-It hurts a little

116
00:05:55.203 --> 00:05:56.917
It's a little painful here

117
00:05:56.917 --> 00:05:58.625
I'll be a little more careful

118
00:05:58.625 --> 00:06:01.155
(After the procedure, the neckline is lifted)
When I pull it like this, you see the sagging skin here?

119
00:06:01.155 --> 00:06:03.474
There are vertical lines going here

120
00:06:03.474 --> 00:06:04.695
But you can see it being pulled now, right?

121
00:06:04.695 --> 00:06:09.545
I've heard from many people that their double chin and neckline have the greatest improvements with this

122
00:06:09.545 --> 00:06:12.440
(Finishing the tie carefully)

123
00:06:12.440 --> 00:06:14.337
How long does the swelling last?

124
00:06:14.337 --> 00:06:18.474
For the recovery period, you should think approximately one week

125
00:06:18.474 --> 00:06:23.790
When we got thread lifting before, it caused a lot of swelling

126
00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:26.149
We couldn’t even do outdoor activities, but let me show you

127
00:06:26.149 --> 00:06:27.955
You can consider this as the maximum swelling

128
00:06:27.955 --> 00:06:29.754
What happens after a week?

129
00:06:29.754 --> 00:06:32.791
(This is how it will look once the swelling subsides)
This is how it will remain once the swelling is gone

130
00:06:32.791 --> 00:06:36.461
(Can you see the lifting effect?)
Can you see how the sagging skin here has lifted?

131
00:06:36.461 --> 00:06:39.536
I will correct the fine wrinkles with a fine wrinkle filler

132
00:06:39.536 --> 00:06:43.317
It's not about adding volume, but really subtly

133
00:06:43.317 --> 00:06:47.069
Just think of it as smoothing out the wrinkles around the mouth

134
00:06:47.069 --> 00:06:51.860
I lifted this part on cheek and attached to the side of the cheek

135
00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:53.072
I lifted it this smile lines here

136
00:06:53.072 --> 00:06:57.944
And from here to the wrinkles around the mouth, I used a fine wrinkle filler for a slight touch-up

137
00:06:57.944 --> 00:07:00.853
(Results of the procedure: improvement in the face wrinkles and wrinkles around the mouth)
The smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth have improved significantly

138
00:07:00.853 --> 00:07:02.474
(Results of the procedure: lifted effect on sagging skin)
You will see a lifted sensation

139
00:07:02.474 --> 00:07:05.173
Do you see this? It's the most amazing part, right?

140
00:07:05.173 --> 00:07:06.917
(The jawline and neck are sagging here) 
It's sagging like this

141
00:07:06.917 --> 00:07:08.961
The left side is sagging

142
00:07:08.961 --> 00:07:13.246
On the right side, it smoothly goes up like this, including the double chin and neck line

143
00:07:13.246 --> 00:07:15.527
(You can see clear results with the effect of MINT Thread Lifting) 
You can see that it's lifted tightly only in the actual treated area

144
00:07:15.527 --> 00:07:16.430
(Early Doctor)

145
00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:19.242
(We also treated the left side of the face)

146
00:07:19.242 --> 00:07:20.870
Would you like to take a look at your face?

147
00:07:20.870 --> 00:07:22.306
(Looks)

148
00:07:22.306 --> 00:07:24.035
-Do you see the significant improvement?
-Yes

149
00:07:24.035 --> 00:07:28.549
The smile lines, the lines around the mouth, and the marionette lines have improved a lot

150
00:07:28.549 --> 00:07:31.325
When I pulled the smile lines, the Indian wrinkles also improved

151
00:07:31.325 --> 00:07:33.165
So, this is how the procedure was done

152
00:07:33.165 --> 00:07:35.792
With the double chin, we used 18 threads 

153
00:07:35.792 --> 00:07:38.672
Considering that, the swelling is significantly small

154
00:07:38.672 --> 00:07:40.442
You really look much prettier

155
00:07:40.442 --> 00:07:46.615
(Before) (Right side after the procedure)
Indian wrinkles, smile lines, marionette lines, double chin, fine wrinkles

156
00:07:46.615 --> 00:07:58.470
(Before) (After 1 week)

157
00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:02.140
(Part 2: Look forward to the Indian wrinkle filler procedure)
