(60-year-old female MINT thread lifting procedure STARTS!)
Hello
Ma’am, your facial features are really beautiful overall,
But you may appear older compared to that and if I had to pick
the biggest reason for that would be
are the smiles lines, on both of the sides here
and I'm particularly concerned about these marionette lines
Even when you're still, it seems like you have a habit of slightly puckering your lips
Causing you to have a lot of wrinkles around your mouth in particular
(Hahaha) It stands out even more when you draw it,
As people age, everyone tends to develop smiles lines and marionette lines
There are actually various ways to solve this
You can fill it with fillers
Or you can use natural lifting procedures to pull and remove wrinkles
These are the mainly used methods
Today, to form a face that has gone through natural lifting procedure
And to remove wrinkles, we will assist you with a procedure called MINT Thread Lifting.
(We will lift the smile lines area) Slightly pulling this part of the face here
We will lift it like this once
(While solving the sagging cheek area) Resolving the sagging parts together
(To improve marionette wrinkles) To improve these wrinkles
We will pull the sagging skin in this area and fix it here
There are many fillers specifically to flatten fine wrinkles
(Fine wrinkles are treated with fine wrinkle fillers) Using such fillers
I will help to improve areas with fine wrinkles such as lip wrinkles
The goal of the procedure is not to perform dramatic and artificial treatments
Through natural treatment
we will undergo a procedure to recover what your face looked like ten years ago
-Please look forward to it. -Sure
(MINT thread lifting treatment areas) Smile lines
Sagging cheek area
Marionette lines
Double chin, jawline
Fine wrinkle filler
(Early Doctor is preparing for the procedure)
(I have applied numbing cream, painkillers, and local anesthesia)
The smile lines you mentioned earlier, so this sagging area on the top of the smile lines
These marionette lines and the sagging cheek area
To lift these two areas, I will perform thread lifting
People tend to be worried about their cheeks looking a bit big after MINT thread procedure
I will try to mark it in a way that makes your cheeks look less prominent
As people age, the side of the cheeks tend to sag
I can help create some anchor points there through the procedure
(Sagging skin below the neck due to aging) When you age, everyone has this loose skin below the neck
If you pull it here, your face will look much more lifted
(Finishing up the design)
When viewed from the front
(If we do a lift, it will go up like this) It will go up like this
I will try to make it go up even more from the bottom
If it hurts too much, please let me know
The MINT thread will be fixed and tied for the procedure
The MINT threads being used today are called "15mm Fine"
Which are the longest and most elastic amongst its type
(The MINT thread is wrapped inside) The thread is wound inside like this
The cogs are arranged in a 360 degrees, zigzag pattern like so
After fixing it precisely on the face, we will tie it up
The thread is often just cut at this stage
But our clinic perform what is called a "tie"
To ensure it maintains from 6 months to over a year
We will perform the tying procedure for a long-lasting outcome
The thread is pulled up and tied slightly here
So you may experience some discomfort for about a week
Let me proceed
(Some parts of the procedure are censored. Cautions are required for the faint-hearted)
(Mint thread lifting presented in LIVE) (The thread is being inserted into the central point)
How do you feel?
It's okay
- You're doing great. Is everything okay? - Yes
(Inserting an additional MINT thread)
The most important thing in thread lifting is to make sure it doesn't hurt
Today, I applied numbing cream for a sufficient amount of time
I also gave some painkillers along with local anesthesia
So you probably won't need to worry so much about the pain
- General anesthesia? - I heard other places do general anesthesia
It was done that way
Our clinic doesn't do general anesthesia
If you look at the thread here and the direction I'm pulling towards
Can you see it lifting like this?
To pull up this part, I can see the line go as so
I set the lifting target and observe the area as I perform the procedure
If one is asleep, the facial expression tends to distort, and so will the tone
So I prefer not to use general anesthesia in pursuit of precise procedures
When doing MINT thread lifting, many are concerned about "dimpling"
So what is dimpling?
The thread is held at this fixation point, and is being pulled like this
It's called dimpling when the thread is pulled excessively and it looks crumpled like so
So it is crucial to perform the procedure with caution to avoid such occurences
Now let me proceed with the tying
(Tying meticulously)
You're enduring very well
(The patient is not feeling much pain) Are you good?
It seems you have a slightly thin skin type
So there are no dimpling, but if I pull it too lightly
It tends to restore quickly when the thread is caught
So I've actually lifted the thread a lot right now
For a longer maintenance and more effective results
This will naturally become smooth over time, so you don't need to worry about it
(Early Doctor)
(Swelling area: Center of side cheeks) The lifting effect is shown from here through to here
So most of the swelling will occur here
Because the threads went like this
The swelling here will naturally go away over time and become slim like this
I receive a lot of questions about how to lift the smiles lines and Indian folds
So, I'll help you with that too
(Lifting the smile lines and Indian folds by making a center point)
(Insert the MINT thread along the guide line)
Going in
(Insert the MINT thread)
(Check if it is well secured)
(Finish the remaining thread by cutting it)
If you tie up the upper part of the face wrinkle here
The cheekbones will appear larger and cause some discomfort
So I prefer not to tie this part
The saggy neckline has improved really dramatically here
(Insert the thread here by targeting it)
-Thank you for enduring it so well -It hurts a little
It's a little painful here
I'll be a little more careful
(After the procedure, the neckline is lifted) When I pull it like this, you see the sagging skin here?
There are vertical lines going here
But you can see it being pulled now, right?
I've heard from many people that their double chin and neckline have the greatest improvements with this
(Finishing the tie carefully)
How long does the swelling last?
For the recovery period, you should think approximately one week
When we got thread lifting before, it caused a lot of swelling
We couldn’t even do outdoor activities, but let me show you
You can consider this as the maximum swelling
What happens after a week?
(This is how it will look once the swelling subsides) This is how it will remain once the swelling is gone
(Can you see the lifting effect?) Can you see how the sagging skin here has lifted?
I will correct the fine wrinkles with a fine wrinkle filler
It's not about adding volume, but really subtly
Just think of it as smoothing out the wrinkles around the mouth
I lifted this part on cheek and attached to the side of the cheek
I lifted it this smile lines here
And from here to the wrinkles around the mouth, I used a fine wrinkle filler for a slight touch-up
(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
(Results of the procedure: lifted effect on sagging skin) You will see a lifted sensation
Do you see this? It's the most amazing part, right?
(The jawline and neck are sagging here) It's sagging like this
The left side is sagging
On the right side, it smoothly goes up like this, including the double chin and neck line
(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
(Early Doctor)
(We also treated the left side of the face)
Would you like to take a look at your face?
(Looks)
-Do you see the significant improvement? -Yes
The smile lines, the lines around the mouth, and the marionette lines have improved a lot
When I pulled the smile lines, the Indian wrinkles also improved
So, this is how the procedure was done
With the double chin, we used 18 threads
Considering that, the swelling is significantly small
You really look much prettier
