Is facial thread sculpting safe?

In order to remove facial wrinkles and improve the youthfulness of the skin, many women choose to go to a cosmetic surgery hospital for facial thread lifting surgery. This surgery is different from traditional wrinkle removal surgery. Thread lifting technology directly uses the method of implanting collagen threads to lift the skin to keep the skin smooth and flat. However, many women worry about side effects such as skin depression when doing facial thread lifting. So, is facial thread lifting safe?

What is Thread Sculpting

Thread lifting is a very popular face lifting technique nowadays. It uses beauty threads that can be absorbed and dissolved by the human body to be inserted into the surface skin, thereby stimulating the regeneration of collagen under the skin.

Special beauty threads are inserted into the skin to stimulate the skin and fascia layers at the same time, allowing stiff or sagging muscle tissue to be rearranged, thereby recreating a beautiful face. The surgical site is located between the subcutaneous fat and the muscle, a special layer of skin that connects the skin to the muscle. This layer sags along with the skin due to aging, and by stimulating these areas, wrinkles can be lifted and improved.

Who is suitable to do it? Who is not suitable to do it?

Suitable for: People who are suitable for thread lifting are generally between 30 and 50 years old, who have many wrinkles and sagging skin. Through regular thread lifting technology, the phenomenon of facial sagging can be improved.

Not suitable: Do not do thread embedding when the skin is inflamed, as it can easily bring bacteria into the deep layers of the skin and cause infection. In addition, thread embedding is not suitable for pregnant women, because the pain during the thread embedding process can cause uterine contractions, so thread lifting is not suitable for pregnant women.

Is facial thread sculpting safe?

The face has abundant nerves and blood vessels, and the various structures are delicate and complex. If the boundaries between the intervals are violated, the local blood supply may be destroyed, leading to more serious consequences. If the implant is in the wrong position, for example, it is embedded in the wrong muscle layer, it will affect facial expressions and movements, and may even cause facial pain when moving. If it is embedded in a blood vessel, it will cause hematoma. If it is embedded in a nerve, it will also cause pain. Therefore, from a medical point of view, no matter how small the operation is, there will be trauma, and if there is trauma, there will be risks. Accidents are more common in informal hospitals.

Risks of facial thread lifting

1. The facial thread carving process will damage the dermis of the skin. The absorbable threads buried in the skin will damage the collagen fiber network and cause side effects such as redness, swelling, blistering, dryness, dullness, and spots.

2. Multiple symptoms such as infection, allergies, and rejection reactions may occur during any surgery, regardless of the size of the surgery. There are also more serious sequelae such as collapse after thread embedding and unnatural expressions. Some people were able to pull the threads out of their skin after the operation. This is a very serious side effect and almost means that the thread-embedded rhinoplasty surgery has failed.

3. If the thread embedding position is too shallow, the lifting effect will not be achieved and skin depression may occur. If the thread embedding position is too deep, there is a risk of damaging the facial nerves. Moreover, the effect of thread lifting can only last for 1 to 2 years. The reason is that in a short period of time, the newly formed collagen tissue will be slowly absorbed by the body and the effect will gradually disappear (usually 2-3 years).

4. Take collagen. The embedded "thread" enters the dermis of the skin to activate collagen. If collagen is supplemented again, the collagen fibers in the dermis will be in a state of accumulation and denaturation. After being discovered by the human immune cells, the new tissue will be judged as abnormal cells and will be differentiated and metabolized one by one by the immune cells. This is also the main reason for the ineffectiveness and failure of surgery.
