Q.Which Areas Can Be Treated with the Lifting Procedures?
A. The lifting procedures can be performed on various areas, including the face, chest, and buttocks. Multi-lifting refers to a combination treatment program that enhances the effectiveness and longevity of the lifting procedure. For instance, in cases where a simple lifting procedure may not be sufficient for the jawline, removing excess fat from the jawline may provide better results than a standalone lifting procedure. The decision regarding such combined treatments will depend on an expert assessment tailored to the individual’s needs.
Q.How Long Does It Take to See the Effects of the Lifting Procedure?
A. Typically, the lifting procedure involves lifting and fixing sagging tissues or redistributing tissues to areas with volume loss. The multi-lifting program addresses overall aging concerns by supplementing volume with fat grafting or injectables, removing excess fat to increase elasticity, or replenishing moisture with skin boosters. The effects are typically noticeable immediately after the procedure, with optimal results developing over the following weeks as the tissues settle and tighten. When there is a significant amount of facial fat in the treated areas, the lifted facial tissues are anchored more effectively, and the results tend to improve gradually over time as the skin regains elasticity and smoothness.
Q.How Long Do the Results Last?
A. The duration of the effects will vary depending on the type of procedure and individual factors. However, our programs are designed to extend the duration and broaden the scope of the improvement compared to single procedures. The results of facial liposuction are considered permanent, as the removed facial fat does not return, provided the individual maintains a stable weight. However, the longevity of thread lift results can vary depending on the adhesion of the lifted facial tissues and individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle. Regular maintenance treatments can also help prolong the results.
Q.Will There Be Noticeable Scars?
A. Unless there are specific circumstances, we aim to minimize additional scarring by carefully performing the procedures through individual injection points or small incisions. Even when multiple procedures are performed, our experienced specialists strive to minimize scarring by applying their in-depth anatomical knowledge and extensive procedural expertise. Most scars tend to fade over time and become less noticeable. However, if scarring remains a concern, laser treatments or other scar management programs can be helpful in reducing their appearance.
Q.What Precautions Should Be Taken After The Surgery?
A. Prior to the surgery, the clinic will provide you with explanations, consent forms, and pre-surgery instructions. After the surgery, the clinic will provide post-surgery instructions as well as prescribed medication. Some important post-surgery instructions include abstaining from alcohol and smoking for about a month to prevent bleeding and infection. It's essential to avoid getting water on the surgical site. Additionally, refrain from chewing hard or tough foods or opening the mouth widely until fully recovered, as this can cause discomfort. After the surgery, there may be minor bleeding or hematoma formation within 1 to 3 days. Applying light pressure with clean gauze or tissue for about 3 minutes can help stop the bleeding. It's also advised to avoid positions where the head is bent forward for extended periods and to sleep with the head elevated above the heart for at least 3 to 5 days.
