Can I still get a surgical facelift in the future after thread lifting? Sagging treatments with an eye toward the future
With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.
"If I keep getting thread lifts, won't I lose the option for a surgical facelift in the future?"
Many people share that concern.
This time, we focus on the "aftermath" of undergoing thread lift treatment.
Dr. Senki Akashi of BIANCA CLINIC explains future-oriented sagging treatments.
If I get a thread lift, will I be unable to get a surgical facelift in the future?
One common question we receive is: "I'm considering a surgical facelift in the future, but will getting thread lifts or HIFU treatments make surgery impossible?"
To get straight to the point,Even if you've had thread lifts or HIFU treatments, you can still undergo a facelift surgery in the future.
However, since the difficulty of the surgery may increase, the surgeon's skill becomes even more critical.
Why people who have had thread lifts tend to face increased difficulty with surgical facelifts in the future
While dissolvable materials are now the mainstream for thread lifts, there are cases where barbed portions remain inside or become fibrously adhered to the tissue.
Therefore, in full-incision lifts that thoroughly lift the SMAS, the dissection process can become complex in some cases.
Additionally, in individuals who have undergone repeated HIFU treatments over many years, it is occasionally observed that the SMAS layer has become hardened.
This is also one of the factors that complicate the surgery.
Choosing an experienced surgeon is key.
Even if you have a history of thread lifts, whether a facelift will be successful depends entirely on who performs the surgery.
Even for patients who have undergone multiple thread lift procedures with 6 or 8 threads inserted, a skilled doctor can perform the surgery.
What matters is not the thread lift or device treatment itself,"Seek out a highly skilled doctor with extensive knowledge and experience."I suppose you could say that.
Thread Lifts for Younger Individuals and Their Future Impact
At Bianca Clinic, we've seen an increase in consultations for thread lift procedures from relatively younger generations.
If you are considering a facelift in the future,Be sure to accurately inform your doctor of your thread lift history.
When considering thread lifts, keep the future in mind.
When you see "failed thread lift cases" on social media, you might be concerned about the post-operative recovery process or whether the sagging will return.
To maintain beauty long-term, key points include post-thread lift maintenance, skin care, and timely reassessment.
After thread lifts, choosing the right doctor is crucial if you plan to get a surgical facelift in the future!
Getting a thread lift does not mean you cannot have a surgical facelift in the future.
However, depending on your surgical history and skin condition, the procedure may become more challenging, so consult an experienced physician.
