Hello. Become prettier every day with “Early Doctor,” this is Dr. Hyunjung Lee

1
00:00:03.175 --> 00:00:04.575
Today I…

2
00:00:04.575 --> 00:00:07.525
will talk about the MINT thread lift

3
00:00:07.525 --> 00:00:09.825
I really really like thread lifts

4
00:00:09.825 --> 00:00:12.274
and I’ve already made a video about it

5
00:00:12.274 --> 00:00:14.824
A lot of you guys enjoyed that video

6
00:00:14.824 --> 00:00:16.874
For this procedure, I frequently get asked

7
00:00:16.874 --> 00:00:18.324
these questions

8
00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.924
I want to take the time to 

9
00:00:19.924 --> 00:00:21.524
answer those questions one by one

10
00:00:23.624 --> 00:00:26.674
Early Doctor
The doctor who tests it out first

11
00:00:26.674 --> 00:00:27.674
Firstly

12
00:00:27.674 --> 00:00:31.974
Q1. Aren’t threads with 360º barbs too strong?

13
00:00:31.974 --> 00:00:35.973
Many people during consultation

14
00:00:35.973 --> 00:00:37.473
prefer threads over laser lifts

15
00:00:37.473 --> 00:00:40.773
<Reasons Threads are Preferred>
People who want visible results or immediate results

16
00:00:40.773 --> 00:00:43.523
majority of patients choose thread lifts for those effects

17
00:00:43.523 --> 00:00:45.723
Including cost-efficiency,

18
00:00:45.723 --> 00:00:48.073
and safety, I think

19
00:00:48.073 --> 00:00:51.073
MINT thread lifts are more effective. 

20
00:00:51.073 --> 00:00:52.223
Secondly

21
00:00:52.223 --> 00:00:55.423
Q2. Does it make the cheekbones look larger?

22
00:00:55.423 --> 00:01:00.722
There is a fixed pulling point where the thread is locked to the cheek  

23
00:01:00.722 --> 00:01:13.122
If the thread is placed too high up, the skin will be pushed to the cheeks

24
00:01:13.122 --> 00:01:14.372
So for patients who are concerned

25
00:01:14.372 --> 00:01:16.322
when targeting the buccal fat

26
00:01:16.322 --> 00:01:20.022
I tend to set the fixed point lower than the cheeks

27
00:01:20.022 --> 00:01:21.722
So between the jaw area

28
00:01:21.722 --> 00:01:23.521
and the larger cheekbone area

29
00:01:23.521 --> 00:01:25.771
the mid cheek area usually looks concaved

30
00:01:25.771 --> 00:01:31.621
Target the concave cheek area and lift! 

31
00:01:31.621 --> 00:01:34.271
Those disadvatages can be avoided with this method

32
00:01:34.271 --> 00:01:35.771
PD) But if you set the fixed point too low

33
00:01:35.771 --> 00:01:37.521
doesn’t that make the lifting effect lessen?

34
00:01:37.521 --> 00:01:38.171
That’s true…

35
00:01:38.171 --> 00:01:39.071
So for that I

36
00:01:39.071 --> 00:01:41.271
utilize the “tie method”

37
00:01:41.271 --> 00:01:42.471
During sealing process

38
00:01:42.471 --> 00:01:44.371
after pulling like this

39
00:01:44.371 --> 00:01:46.320
if we cut the thread right away

40
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:53.070
the maintenance period may shorten over time

41
00:01:53.070 --> 00:01:55.620
So when I pull the thread 

42
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:56.920
below the cheekbone line

43
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.870
I tend to tie the thread instead of cutting to increase effectiveness

44
00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:05.770
PD) I feel like the thread knot may be uncomfortable…

45
00:02:05.770 --> 00:02:07.370
For this method, we don’t just 

46
00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:09.969
suture the tie and finish

47
00:02:09.969 --> 00:02:12.469
We will insert it deep into a non-irritating layer

48
00:02:12.469 --> 00:02:15.869
and it will simply need a skin recovery tape

49
00:02:15.869 --> 00:02:17.469
So you don’t have to be too worried

50
00:02:17.469 --> 00:02:25.769
Insert the tie into a layer that does not irritate the skin! 

51
00:02:25.769 --> 00:02:26.969
Thirdly

52
00:02:26.969 --> 00:02:30.719
Q3. Why does the square jaw look protuding?

53
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.818
The reason is… 

54
00:02:33.818 --> 00:02:35.318
when the thread penetrates deep into the muscle 

55
00:02:35.318 --> 00:02:37.468
or stimulates the masseter muscle in the area 

56
00:02:37.468 --> 00:02:42.668
where the square jaw Botox is applied, 

57
00:02:42.668 --> 00:02:47.118
the muscle may appear slightly enlarged 

58
00:02:47.118 --> 00:02:51.218
due to the protrusion that occurs

59
00:02:51.218 --> 00:02:53.818
when the square jaw Botox is applied incorrectly,

60
00:02:53.818 --> 00:02:55.568
also known as the CandyBall phenomenon. 

61
00:02:55.568 --> 00:02:59.417
This happens when the layer containing the thread lifting is incorrect

62
00:02:59.417 --> 00:03:01.917
or when the line is drawn from too far down near the ear

63
00:03:01.917 --> 00:03:04.867
toward the deep cheek,

64
00:03:04.867 --> 00:03:08.467
stimulating the muscles

65
00:03:08.467 --> 00:03:17.417
So it is recommended to draw a line a little higher, avoiding the masseter muscle

66
00:03:17.417 --> 00:03:19.567
Fourthly

67
00:03:19.567 --> 00:03:21.516
Q4. How long does the thread lifting last?

68
00:03:21.516 --> 00:03:23.466
Obviously,

69
00:03:23.466 --> 00:03:25.066
if you ask how long it will last,

70
00:03:25.066 --> 00:03:26.416
I would say 

71
00:03:26.416 --> 00:03:27.966
there’s no right answer

72
00:03:27.966 --> 00:03:34.666
Some may feel short and some may not

73
00:03:34.666 --> 00:03:36.716
Some threads like MINT thread,

74
00:03:36.716 --> 00:03:38.466
which is made of soluble threads,

75
00:03:38.466 --> 00:03:41.966
has a shelf life of 6-12 months

76
00:03:41.966 --> 00:03:47.315
Then you may ask if you have to get this painful procedure once every 6 months?

77
00:03:47.315 --> 00:03:49.315
But after 6 months

78
00:03:49.315 --> 00:03:51.165
it starts to melt slowly 

79
00:03:51.165 --> 00:03:53.615
and either changes like before you got the tread lifting 

80
00:03:53.615 --> 00:03:56.415
or it remains effective for one year

81
00:03:56.415 --> 00:04:01.115
as the lifting effect decreases

82
00:04:01.115 --> 00:04:06.115
Intermittent management is essential

83
00:04:06.115 --> 00:04:07.814
If you receive laser lifting, 

84
00:04:07.814 --> 00:04:10.664
ultrasound, or high-frequency treatment at the right time, 

85
00:04:10.664 --> 00:04:13.314
you can maintain the lifting effect 

86
00:04:13.314 --> 00:04:15.914
a little longer

87
00:04:15.914 --> 00:04:17.614
Early Doctor

88
00:04:17.614 --> 00:04:20.264
I have been able to unravel 

89
00:04:20.264 --> 00:04:23.264
a lot of the information I have about MINT thread, 

90
00:04:23.264 --> 00:04:25.614
I hope I satisfy all your curiosities

91
00:04:25.614 --> 00:04:27.314
and hope it was relatable for you all

92
00:04:27.314 --> 00:04:30.663
I’ll be back with more good information

93
00:04:30.663 --> 00:04:31.413
Oh and..
