Dr Ahn’s approach to thread lifting
Review sagging, skin thickness and facial balance. Discuss whether thread lifting is suitable and what changes may reasonably be expected.
Clinical limitations inform research questions
Review the research background while keeping facial laxity and skin condition in view.
1. Observing limitations
Clinical questions arose about support and traction with unidirectional barbed threads.
2. Considering another structure
This led to interest in support through a bidirectional structure.
3. Planning for the individual
Selection considers laxity direction and skin condition rather than a thread name alone.
Planning involves more than pulling force
Assessment considers tissue position, volume and skin condition to explain appropriate support. The same approach does not suit every face.
