Hello. Become prettier every day with “Early Doctor,” this is Dr. Hyunjung Lee
Today I…
will talk about the MINT thread lift
I really really like thread lifts
and I’ve already made a video about it
A lot of you guys enjoyed that video
For this procedure, I frequently get asked
these questions
I want to take the time to
answer those questions one by one
Early Doctor The doctor who tests it out first
Firstly
Q1. Aren’t threads with 360º barbs too strong?
Many people during consultation
prefer threads over laser lifts
People who want visible results or immediate results
majority of patients choose thread lifts for those effects
Including cost-efficiency,
and safety, I think
MINT thread lifts are more effective.
Secondly
Q2. Does it make the cheekbones look larger?
There is a fixed pulling point where the thread is locked to the cheek
If the thread is placed too high up, the skin will be pushed to the cheeks
So for patients who are concerned
when targeting the buccal fat
I tend to set the fixed point lower than the cheeks
So between the jaw area
and the larger cheekbone area
the mid cheek area usually looks concaved
Target the concave cheek area and lift!
Those disadvatages can be avoided with this method
PD) But if you set the fixed point too low
doesn’t that make the lifting effect lessen?
That’s true…
So for that I
utilize the “tie method”
During sealing process
after pulling like this
if we cut the thread right away
the maintenance period may shorten over time
So when I pull the thread
below the cheekbone line
I tend to tie the thread instead of cutting to increase effectiveness
PD) I feel like the thread knot may be uncomfortable…
For this method, we don’t just
suture the tie and finish
We will insert it deep into a non-irritating layer
and it will simply need a skin recovery tape
So you don’t have to be too worried
Insert the tie into a layer that does not irritate the skin!
Thirdly
Q3. Why does the square jaw look protuding?
The reason is…
when the thread penetrates deep into the muscle
or stimulates the masseter muscle in the area
where the square jaw Botox is applied,
the muscle may appear slightly enlarged
due to the protrusion that occurs
when the square jaw Botox is applied incorrectly,
also known as the CandyBall phenomenon.
This happens when the layer containing the thread lifting is incorrect
or when the line is drawn from too far down near the ear
toward the deep cheek,
stimulating the muscles
So it is recommended to draw a line a little higher, avoiding the masseter muscle
Fourthly
Q4. How long does the thread lifting last?
Obviously,
if you ask how long it will last,
I would say
there’s no right answer
Some may feel short and some may not
Some threads like MINT thread,
which is made of soluble threads,
has a shelf life of 6-12 months
Then you may ask if you have to get this painful procedure once every 6 months?
But after 6 months
it starts to melt slowly
and either changes like before you got the tread lifting
or it remains effective for one year
as the lifting effect decreases
Intermittent management is essential
If you receive laser lifting,
ultrasound, or high-frequency treatment at the right time,
you can maintain the lifting effect
a little longer
Early Doctor
I have been able to unravel
a lot of the information I have about MINT thread,
I hope I satisfy all your curiosities
and hope it was relatable for you all
I’ll be back with more good information
