Thread Lifting Isn't Suitable for Everyone: Why Facial Structure Matters More Than You'd Think
Many people assume thread lifting produces the same lifting effect for everyone. In reality, thread-lift outcomes depend heavily on each individual's facial structure — particularly two groups that need especially thorough assessment before deciding: those with a large amount of subcutaneous fat, where thread pulling force may not achieve as much lift as expected, and those who already have prominent cheekbones, where standard thread lifting may unintentionally make cheekbones appear larger. This is because part of the thread-lifting mechanism involves repositioning fat from one point to another. This article explains why facial structure is a critical factor a physician must assess before planning thread lifting, and why some cases require more threads and vectors than usual — to achieve a firmer result without distorting facial proportions.
