All women want to get aged beautifully as they are getting older. Most of patients who are in 20 to 30s prefer to have plastic surgery that can change their own features, and most of patients who are over 40s choose to have surgery that can make them look younger. Our bone, muscle, fat and skin get aged as time passes. They lose their elasticity, and become saggy due to the force of gravity. Then, how can we stop our skin from aging while maintaining its good condition? “Lift up the saggy skin, and fill in the sunken area.” We can lift up our skin in opposite direction to gravity by using thread or incision according to the patient’s condition. Due to recent development of lifting threads, it is possible to lift up our tissue more effectively which lasts longer than before, while the thread encourages the surrounding tissue to form collagen. This type of thread lifting is mostly perform ed on patients between 40s and 50s, and this procedure is mor...

Many aestheticians and patients are seeking for thread lifting as this procedure is relatively safe and effective compare to other procedures that were introduced earlier. You may think that lifting is something that you could do at late 30s, however recently, many people in 20s still get thread lifting procedures to look even younger and vitalized. I will explain the reasons for people in 20s to pursue thread lifting procedure. Firstly, there are various types of threads. The satisfactory level is very high as different types of threads could be chosen according to the patient’s condition, designated appropriately for the level of sagginess of your skin. Types of threads could be divided into two major groups, dissolvable threads or threads that don’t dissolve. Depending on how saggy the patie...

PRP fat grafting What is PRP fat grafting? Many people would already know about face fat grafting, however they might not be familiar with PRP fat grafting. Face fat grafting extracts the patients’ own fat from areas like thighs or stomach and injects the autologous fat into the desired areas on the face unlike fillers. However, I have prepared this blog for people who are not sure about the difference between usual fat grafting and PRP fat grafting. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is a method that injects the patients’ own blood extract with pure fat cells that has been extracted. Self-growth factors in PRP increases the survival rate of injected fat which means that PRP fat grafting’s survival rate is greater than usual fat grafting. This also means that PRP fat grafting has longer lasting period. In PRP’s growth factors, it also has skin cell’s self-regeneration ability, which is effective on skin regeneration as well as wound healing. Basi...
