I think the photo was taken about two weeks after the procedure, and when I saw it, I thought, "Hmm... this actually looks pretty good!" So here I am sharing it now. I originally struggled with my sagging cheeks, and every time I looked in the mirror, it was a bit disheartening, so I searched for various options and eventually went to Apgujeong Miracle for a thread lift.
To be honest, I initially considered getting a surgical facelift as well. But when I thought about the potential scars, I got really scared... I just couldn’t muster the courage for that. So I decided to try the less intimidating thread lift first.
I came across a lot of reviews for this Crazy V-Lifting, and while searching, I learned that the doctor performing the procedure is quite famous. Apparently, he's often mentioned in Japanese hospital forums too, and he’s the one who developed non-invasive lifting techniques. Seeing that made me think, "Okay, I can trust this place," so I immediately called Apgujeong Miracle and booked an appointment.
By the time of the consultation, I was already leaning towards the procedure, so I asked a few questions and just went ahead with it. When I talked about my concerns while he was designing the lift, Dr. Woo Jung-ho really took the time to draw the lines carefully to address my worries. He seemed quite confident in the results, which oddly put me at ease.
The procedure itself was super quick. His hands moved really fast, making it feel like it was over in a flash. I was told it was a long thread lift, which feels a bit different from the shorter ones. He explained that while it’s not as invasive as surgery, it’s still quite effective, and I understood that better with his explanations.
I was most worried about side effects, but thankfully, I didn’t experience any dimpling or threads sticking out. The swelling peaked on the second day, but it wasn’t noticeable to others—just to me, I could tell I was a bit puffier.
There was a slight pulling sensation near where the threads were inserted, but it felt more like, "Oh, this is how much I'm being lifted," rather than being uncomfortable. He mentioned that using long threads enhances the effect, and I’ve definitely been feeling that so far. I really appreciated that I could achieve this level of lifting without major surgery.
