Ms. Liu, 47 years old, has had thread sculpting for four years, basically once a year. From this frontal photo, we can clearly see that there is a difference in the degree of sagging on the left and right side of her face, and also a bit of a small and large face. This is a picture of her at the age of 40. I asked her at that time: Why did she switch to the “five-layer face lift” after four times of thread sculpting? According to her description, about 3 months after she had the thread sculpting, the right side of her face fell off and I felt that the thread sculpting was useless to me. Now the left and right sides of my face are not the same size, and the right side looks older than the left side. What is the reason for this? Probably because when the doctor does the wire sculpture, the tension of the two sides of the wire is different, especially the first time to do wire sculpture, the doctor’s technical level is very critical. In addition, the line sculpture is done to improve the superficial fascia layer, and the 40-year-old facial skin is a deep level of aging, so there is no effect on the line sculpture. Let’s take a look at the right side of the face (above). In addition to the signs of aging, the apple muscle has shifted downward, the lines of the law and the marionette lines are also more obvious, and the jaw angle is also blurred and “deformed”. What can I do about it with a five-layer facial lift? I will make a linear incision of about 1cm in the temporal area, about the bilateral temporal area (with her hair, the incision is not visible at all), and do a wide peeling of the cheeks, including crow’s feet, decreases, and marionette lines. Look at this picture, this is roughly how the peeling is done. After the peel, I will put in a biodegradable lifting tape and then fix it. Some patients ask: Why do I need to put in a lift band, isn’t it just a thread sculpture? Generally speaking, there will be an error in the normal tissue healing for about 2 weeks. Putting a lift band means to lift up your sagging and shifting soft tissues, and it can last for about 3 months. The soft tissues that are lifted up will biologically fuse in 2~3 months, so the skin will not come down, which is what thread sculpting (simple thread lifting) cannot compare to. At this point, the mission of the lift band is complete. At around 3 months, the lift band will slowly degrade and be absorbed, degrading into lactic acid. This lactic acid, which is a benign stimulus to the skin, has a gradual improvement on your skin and skin texture. This is a picture of the left and right side of the face after a five-layer face lift, so you can compare the pictures before the surgery. Please look at her ear area. If I don’t remind you, you might not notice that there is actually an incision here. Why is there an incision in this area? This is to enhance the lifting effect on the lower part of the face, like the jawline, the decal lines, and the marionette lines are all in this area, so I added about 1cm of an incision in this area, and this small incision does not affect your appearance at all. Some candidates ask: I see good results, but I’m just worried about the side effects, are there any risks? I would say that all over the world, surgery is a process that carries risks. If one person out of 10,000 has an accident, it will be a 100% harm to that person. In the face of risks, first of all, we will actively prevent and try to avoid them. When risks arise, we will think of various ways to compensate and correct them. We all cooperate to minimize the damage.
