​

As we age, signs of aging naturally appear.

Many people experience increased facial wrinkles, deepening nasolabial folds due to sagging cheek fat,

and sagging around the mouth and jawline.

When the face sags overall like this,

the front cheek area can look flat and dull, giving an older appearance.

​

Many people undergo lifting procedures to resolve these issues.

Today, we will review a real patient case who underwent Peach Lifting, along with their photos.

Peach Lifting, Nasolabial Fold Filler

​

​

Pre-operative Analysis

Patient's condition before surgery

✅ No volume above the mid-cheek groove boundary

✅ Deep nasolabial folds

​

Before Surgery

The patient has relatively small front cheekbones, with no volume above the mid-cheek groove boundary,

and a heavy-looking volume towards the bottom.

With this facial structure, even slight sagging of the front cheeks can appear quite severe.

Additionally, the nasolabial folds extend far down to the corners of the mouth,

and the front cheek tissue sags down to cover them, so we planned the lifting targeting this area.

Since the right side of the face is larger and has more volume, we determined the direction and strength of the lifting taking this into consideration.

Since the starting point of the nasolabial folds next to the nostrils is difficult to resolve with thread lifting alone,

we planned to use a small amount of filler for overall improvement of the nasolabial folds.

​

What kind of face did the patient want before surgery?

✔ Improvement of sagging front cheeks

✔ Improvement of nasolabial folds caused by sagging front cheeks

​

​

Diagnosis and Surgery

✅ Peach Up Lifting

✅ Nasolabial Fold Filler 0.5cc

​

This is a typical case requiring Peach Up Lifting.

Using Mint Threads, we targeted the most sagging part of the front cheek volume

and pulled it up so that a substantial volume could rise near the mid-cheek groove.

Here, we used short Peach threads to shape the volume so it gathers well towards the center and upper part of the front cheeks.

By doing this, the volume covering the lower nasolabial folds is lifted, and the wrinkles become lighter.

Afterward, by using about 0.5cc of filler in the groove where the nasolabial folds begin to fill the volume,

the upper nasolabial folds also appear lighter, allowing for overall improvement in the shape of the nasolabial folds.

​

Post-operative Progress

Post-operative Progress

✅ Improvement of nasolabial folds

✅ Shortened midface

✅ Minimized cheekbone enlargement

✅ Natural volume

​

The lifting effect can be seen immediately after the surgery.

The area where the front cheek volume is most concentrated has shifted from the lower part to the mid-upper part,

and the long, descending nasolabial folds have significantly lightened.

As a result, when looking at the face, the gaze is drawn to the center rather than the lower part,

which also creates the effect of a shorter midface.

Also, through the appropriate direction of the threads, the side cheekbones and temple areas do not look wider,

and only the volume is lifted.

Since there was more volume on the right side, it may feel like the volume rose better and looks more plump immediately after.

As the swelling subsides and the threads settle over about 2 weeks,

the left-right symmetry will appropriately adjust to a more natural look.

If I were to recommend an additional procedure for this patient, since the anterior-medial cheekbones are small and lack volume,

performing a volume-filling procedure such as filler or Juvelook Volume would make them look a bit younger,

and I believe the hollowness in the tear trough area could also be alleviated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the effects of Peach Lifting?

Yes, it improves sagging cheeks and enhances mid-face volume. By using Mint thread and Peach thread to pull up sagging cheek tissue, it improves the volume covering the nasolabial folds and draws attention to the center of the face, making the mid-face appear shorter.

Can nasolabial folds be completely improved with thread lifting alone?

No, the starting point of nasolabial folds next to the nostrils is difficult to resolve with thread lifting alone. Therefore, injecting a small amount of filler (about 0.5cc) into this area to fill the sunken volume can significantly improve the overall shape of the nasolabial folds more effectively.

How long is the recovery period after the procedure?

It usually takes about 2 weeks. You can see the lifting effect immediately after the procedure, and as the swelling subsides and the inserted threads settle over about 2 weeks, the left and right symmetry will adjust appropriately, and a more natural facial line will be completed.

Will my cheekbones not look bigger after the procedure?

Yes, the procedure can be performed so that your cheekbones do not look bigger. By setting the appropriate direction of the threads, the lifting direction and strength are adjusted so that the side cheekbones or temples do not appear wide, and volume naturally rises only in the front cheek area.

What additional procedures are helpful if front cheek volume is insufficient?

Combining procedures such as filler or Juvelook Volume is helpful. If the inner part of the front cheek is small and lacks volume, adding these volume-filling procedures can alleviate the hollowness around the tear troughs and give a more youthful impression.
