Searching for the keyword "botched thread lift gone wrong" will reveal many tragic cases where people's faces are deformed, uneven, or even exposed after procedure.

Only by understanding the reasons for botched thread lift gone wrong can we properly avoid some problems when undergoing thread lift procedure especially when nursing, we must master the correct nursing methods to reduce the possibility of side effects and provide guarantees for the final effect.

Definition and Reasons for Failure of Thread Lift

Thread lift refers to the practitioners burying absorbable protein threads (such as PDO, PCL, PLLA, etc.) into the lower layer of the skin, using the barbs or anchor structure of the thread body to lift the tissue, which can subtly lift sagging skin and lift the skin looseness by 3 to 5 mm.

And after the operation, these threads can continuously stimulate the skin to produce collagen, achieve the effect of contour tightening and strengthening skin lifting. It is mainly suitable for people with mild to moderate facial sagging, such as deepening of nasolabial folds, blurred contours, sagging apple muscles, etc.

However, although the thread lifting technology is not a traditional surgery, it has extremely high technical requirements for doctors. If the thread lifting operation is slightly unsmooth, it may cause problems such as thread migration and thread emergence, which will affect the final lifting effect.

Key Factors Behind Botched Thread Lifts Gone Wrong  

Boched thread lift gone wrong, there will be some obvious manifestations, which remind you that your thread lifting may have gone wrong and need to be adjusted immediately.

Facial asymmetry

The facial skin tissue is lifted by threads. Generally, thread lifting is performed on both sides of the face. If the thread positions on both sides are different, or the lifting angle is wrong or the force on both sides is uneven, the face will be "one high and one low" after the operation, which will lead to asymmetry on both sides of the face after the operation.

Unevenness or visible threads

Since the thread lifting technique is not standardized, the wires are buried in the wrong skin layer, which makes the wires vaguely visible and causes unnatural undulations on the skin surface. This seriously affects the appearance of the face, affects the patient's mental health and causes social barriers.

Thread exposure

The skin is not well cared for in the final healing stage, causing the incision during the operation to crack and the threads to emerge from the body. This not only affects the beauty of the thread lifts, but also is particularly prone to skin infection. Since the problem of wound rupture is happened, if the situation is serious, it is easy to leave scars in the future.

Thread migration

Due to the operator's fault during the operation, or excessive facial movement or improper aftercare, the threads may migrate. In this case, you can choose to wait for a few weeks for the threads to be absorbed, or go to a beauty clinic to remove it.

Persistent pain or nerve numbness

Injury to the facial nerve or fascia layer causes facial dysfunction, facial pain, or facial numbness, resulting in local facial paralysis, affecting the patient's mental health and easily causing social barriers for the patient.

Infection and swelling

Insufficient aseptic operation, improper postoperative care or individual constitution causes infection. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to the hygiene of the wound, do not touch the wound with your hands, and observe the wound on your face immediately to find out whether there are any problems with speech and infection.

"Stiff face" or unnatural expression

Due to excessive lifting or wrong direction, the function of the facial muscles is affected, so stiff and exaggerated facial expressions will appear when making expressions, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also affects the social interaction.

What are the reasons for failure?

1. The doctor's skills are not up to standard

Although thread lifting is a minimally invasive operation, it requires extremely high facial anatomy knowledge and surgical skills. Doctors need specific and rich experience in thread lifting operations, especially when operating cog threads, which is more difficult to operate and requires more professional operators.

2. Use of inferior threads

The thread needs to have strong toughness, so that it can lift the skin after lifting without causing the wire to break;

In addition, the cog shape of the thread must be ensured to be strong, so that the sagging skin can be successfully lifted after lifting.

The facial lifting thread of Diaminy aesthetics has perfect quality, not only has strong toughness, but also the barb shape can effectively lift sagging skin.

3. Inadequate preoperative evaluation

The patient's skin condition, facial fat layer thickness, degree of relaxation, age, etc. need to be accurately evaluated to select the appropriate type, length, quantity and needle insertion method of the thread.

4. Substandard operating environment

Non-medical environment and lack of disinfection standards will greatly increase the risk of postoperative infection. Diaminy's facial lifting thread has high purity, and the production workshop guarantees aseptic production, so the thread is aseptically produced and stored, and users can use it with confidence.

5. Inadequate postoperative care

The 48 hours after procedure is the key recovery period. Improper face washing, exaggerated expressions, staying up late and drinking, etc. may cause thread displacement or wound infection.
