a thread lift painful?","answer":"A thread lift is generally a low-pain procedure. Clinicians use local anaesthetic, nerve blocks, or nitrous oxide to numb the treatment area. Patients typically feel pressure or pulling rather than sharp pain during the 30-to-60-minute session. Post-treatment soreness and facial tightness usually last for several days.
\nBookimed Expert Insight: South Korean clinics like AB Plastic Surgery often have a higher ratio of anaesthesiology specialists. This ratio is above the industry average. This focus on pain management allows for more aggressive lifting techniques with less patient distress. Choosing clinics with on-site anaesthetists significantly improves comfort levels.
