Did you know that thread lifts can actually be removed?

Many people believe that once threads are inserted for a thread lift, the only option is to wait for them to be slowly absorbed. This is not necessarily true.

This gentleman underwent a thread lift three months ago. While he achieved the desired lifting effect, he developed a persistent localized protrusion on his cheekbone. What bothered him most wasn't pain, but rather being asked every time he went out:
"What's that pimple on your face?"

Three months have passed, and that "pimple" is still there. However, it is not a pimple at all, but a localized protrusion caused by the thread.

He had previously tried to resolve the issue, but after spending a significant amount of time, he was told it could not be removed.

Since the problem is clearly defined and the location can be precisely identified, removing the problematic thread is the solution. The object pulled out by the forceps in the photo is the actual thread that was removed.

Dr. Ta-Ju Liu frequently handles many cases of Filler Revision, including filler-induced lumps and overfilled (饅化) faces. Thread lift revision and thread removal are also among the professional services provided at Liusmed Clinic.

Of course, not every thread needs to be removed, nor can every case be treated with the same method. This still requires an assessment of the thread type, implantation site, depth, and the condition of the surrounding tissue. But one thing is certain: if problems arise after a thread lift, it does not mean you are forced to wait passively.
