Threads Lifting in Willbe Plastic Surgery

About the clinic

Threads lifting at Willbe Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, provides a non-surgical way to tighten sagging skin. This procedure uses specialized PDO threads to pull tissues into a more youthful position. The clinic is located in the Gangnam District, a global hub for aesthetic medicine.

Advanced Lifting Methods

The clinic uses bidirectional melting PDO threads for every treatment. These threads have tiny barbs that grip the skin from two directions. This design allows for a stronger lift compared to traditional smooth threads. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea has approved these materials for medical use. The threads are placed into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. Once inside, they pull the sagging areas toward the desired direction. Over time, these threads dissolve naturally while helping the body produce new collagen. This process improves skin elasticity and helps the results last longer.

Personalized Treatment Design

Every patient receives a 1:1 customized design before the procedure starts. No two faces sag in the same way, so the doctor maps out the thread placement individually. This tailored approach helps achieve a natural look rather than a tight or frozen appearance. The treatment focuses on the dermis to restore volume and firm up the facial contours. Because it is non-surgical, patients can usually return to their routines much faster than after a traditional facelift.

Expert Care by Dr. Kim Jun-young

Dr. Kim Jun-young performs all consultations and procedures at the clinic. He is a board-certified plastic surgery specialist and the representative director of Willbe Plastic Surgery. As a single-doctor practice, the clinic provides consistent care from the first meeting to the final check-up. Dr. Kim Jun-young specializes in facial aesthetics and focuses on precise thread placement for every patient. This direct involvement helps make sure that the final result matches the initial plan discussed during the consultation.

Willbe Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic

Republic of Korea, Seoul

Willbe Plastic Surgery is a private aesthetic clinic in Seoul, South Korea. It's located in the Nonhyeon-dong neighborhood of Gangnam District. The clinic operates as a single-doctor practice focused on detailed facial cosmetic procedures.

Surgeon-Led Aesthetic Planning

The clinic follows a surgeon-led model for all treatments. Dr. Kim Jun-young, a plastic surgery specialist, serves as the representative director. He handles the entire care process – from initial consultation to treatment design to surgery itself. This means patients work with the same doctor throughout their experience.

Specialized Facial Procedures

The surgical team focuses on facial aesthetics and volume restoration. The clinic offers several options for eye, nose, and lifting surgeries:

  • Rhinoplasty: Both implant-based and natural, non-implant options are available. Ear cartilage is often used to create natural-looking nose tips.
  • Eye Surgery: The clinic performs primary eye shape corrections and complex revision surgeries.
  • Facial Fat Transfer: This procedure uses PRP micro fat grafting to restore volume. A centrifuge processes the fat to improve skin elasticity and texture.
  • Hand Rejuvenation: Micro fat grafting is also applied to the back of the hands for smoother skin.

Each surgical plan is customized to balance the patient's existing facial features.

Advanced Lifting Techniques

Willbe Plastic Surgery offers both surgical and non-surgical lifting methods for sagging skin. The SMAS facelift lifts the deep fascial layer under the skin. This gives more durable results than surface-level tightening alone. Endoscopic forehead lifting is also available, offering a younger look with smaller incisions.

The clinic's signature non-surgical method is PDO 1:1 customized thread lifting. This technique uses specialized melting threads with bidirectional cogs. Threads are placed into the tissue layer under the skin to support it in a specific direction. This triggers collagen regeneration in the dermis, improving skin elasticity naturally.

Technology and Materials

Surgeons use MFDS-approved PDO threads for all thread-lifting procedures. These materials are designed for safe absorption by the body. For fat grafting, a centrifuge isolates high-quality micro-fat cells. This purification process enhances volume retention after injection.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports patients visiting from outside South Korea. Staff offer assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese. This helps international patients understand the consultation process and surgical instructions clearly.
