As we undergo changes starting in our 20s, skin aging reduces

the skin's regenerative capacity, leading to a loss of elasticity and the appearance of sagging and drooping skin.

For this reason, the proportion of people seeking anti-aging treatments has increased.

Among them, thread lifting, which pulls up sagging skin, is highly sought after.

Thread lifting uses medical-grade threads to pull up and fix sagging areas

without skin excision, providing lifting improvements and a three-dimensional effect.

However, the results of the procedure can vary depending on the pulling direction.

Today, let's find out whether a diagonal or vertical direction is better for thread lifting procedures.

Is a Diagonal or Vertical Direction Better for Thread Lifting?

In thread lifting, the pulling direction is arguably the most crucial factor.

Because of this, the preferred method varies from doctor to doctor,

and the pulling direction also changes depending on the patient's facial shape,

making it difficult to simply say which direction is the absolute best!

Fundamentally, to smooth out wrinkles, pulling perpendicular to the wrinkle direction is most effective.

Typically, when pulling up perpendicular to the nasolabial folds and marionette lines (jowls),

the overall direction across the face becomes diagonal.

⚠ The downside here is that as the tissue is moved toward the most prominent outer part of the cheekbones, the face may appear wider. ⚠

To pull sagging tissue upwards, the best direction is vertical lifting.

This also minimizes the appearance of a wider face.

However, emphasizing only the vertical direction might reduce the wrinkle-smoothing effect and make the face look unnatural.

At Uvers Plastic Surgery, we carefully consider the points the patient wants to improve

and their facial shape before deciding on the pulling direction through consultation.

We use both diagonal and vertical directions, but we perform thread lifting

that compensates for the drawbacks by varying the length and thickness of the threads, as well as the insertion points.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is thread lifting?

Thread lifting is an anti-aging procedure that uses medical threads to pull and fix sagging areas without skin incision, thereby improving sagging and achieving a three-dimensional effect. It helps improve reduced elasticity and sagging caused by skin aging.

Why is the pulling direction important in thread lifting?

Yes, the pulling direction in thread lifting is one of the most important factors for the procedure's outcome. Since each doctor has a different preferred method and the most suitable direction varies depending on the patient's face shape, it must be carefully decided.

What are the pros and cons of diagonal lifting?

Diagonal lifting is effective in smoothing wrinkles like nasolabial folds or marionette lines by pulling perpendicular to the wrinkle direction. However, it has the disadvantage that tissue moves to the outside of the cheekbones, which can make the face appear wider.

In what cases is vertical lifting suitable?

Vertical lifting is the best direction for pulling sagging tissue upwards. While it can minimize the appearance of a wider face, the effect of smoothing wrinkles may be reduced, or the face may look unnatural.

How does Wevers Plastic Surgery determine the thread lifting direction?

At Wevers Plastic Surgery, the pulling direction is determined through consultation, taking into full consideration the points the patient wants to improve and their face shape. Both diagonal and vertical directions are used, but disadvantages are compensated by varying the length, thickness, and insertion points of the threads.
