At first, I thought the lifting consultation itself might be a bit awkward since I'm a guy... But once I went and sat down, the atmosphere wasn't as awkward as I expected. I just felt like someone there for a consultation, so I got used to it quickly. What I was concerned about was my jawline and overall facial contours—you know that look where things tend to look a bit blurry in photos? That's why I went in looking into thread lifting from the start, and we focused mainly on that during the consultation. I told them I didn't want a look that just "pulls up hard"; I didn't want my face to look too soft or feminine since I'm a man. They specifically addressed those points and explained them to me, which reassured me. They also told me exactly where and how to look to avoid losing that masculine look, so my worries about doing it too much were lessened. Even though I mentioned several times that I really didn't want anything excessive, they didn't just gloss over it; instead, they discussed it with me and worked together to find the right fit, so I felt almost no pressure at all.
