Is Thread Lift Right for You? Good Candidates and When to Avoid It

Often a good fit for

• Visible sagging, usually from the 30s onward
• Wanting a more immediate lift than devices give
• Concern: Sagging cheeks and jawline
• Concern: Jowls and double-chin line

Other options may suit better for

• Hollowing rather than sagging
• No time available for recovery

Treatment may be limited or need discussion if

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Tendency to keloid scarring
• Inflammation in the area
• Blood thinners (tell the doctor)

Still deciding?

A thread lift physically lifts tissue for an immediate change, while Ultherapy PRIME uses focused ultrasound heat to tighten the SMAS layer and rebuild collagen gradually, without incisions or implants. See the full comparison: Thread Lift vs Ultherapy PRIME.

Medical notice: every procedure can cause side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, pain, inflammation or pigmentation, and results and their duration vary between individuals. Suitability and method are decided only after a consultation with the doctor. This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Fees follow the clinic's official non-covered fee schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

From what age can I get Thread Lift?

Skin condition and concerns matter more than age. Patients under 19 need guardian consent in Korea.

Who should not get Thread Lift?

Pregnancy, breastfeeding or inflammation in the area usually means postponing; this is decided at consultation.

Can thread lifts be combined with filler?

Yes, when sagging and hollowing coexist they are often combined. Order and timing are set after consultation.
