Half-Face Thread Lifting Results: Real Before & After Series｜PangPang Clinic

Half-Face Thread Lifting: Real, Unedited Results

We believe medical travelers deserve honest, unfiltered information. That’s why we created our Half-Face Thread Lifting series—so you can see authentic, side-by-side results without filters or exaggeration. By treating one side first and comparing it with the untreated side, you can clearly see what thread lifting can (and cannot) do.

What Thread Lifting Can Improve

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to subtly lift and contour the face. Common goals include: – Defining and tapering the jawline – Softening nasolabial folds (smile lines) – Reducing marionette lines – Creating a shorter-looking midface – Improving the appearance of “candy cheeks” (deepening of the mid-cheek when the mouth is closed) – Supporting hollow under-eye areas when appropriate, often in combination with other treatments

Results are natural-looking and progressive, with immediate lift and continued improvement as collagen forms. While not a replacement for surgery, patients often notice a fresher, more youthful contour.

 Her jawline became much more defined and tapered, and you can clearly see how much her nasolabial folds have faded!

Real Patient Snapshots: Seasons 1–7

Our series features real clients from different ages and professions. Each session begins with a half-face lift to highlight changes, followed by completing both sides for a balanced outcome.

Season 1

– Client: Ms. Hwang** – Highlights: Noticeably sharper, more tapered jawline on the treated side and softer nasolabial folds. The contrast with the untreated side shows the immediate effect of thread lifting.

Season 2

– Client: 47-year-old fashion designer – Concerns: Nasolabial folds and mid-cheek hollowness when closing the mouth – Result: Smoother smile lines and reduced “candy cheeks,” creating a softer, more youthful facial contour. After both sides were treated, the face looked balanced and refreshed.

Season 3

– Client: 47-year-old skincare clinic owner – Concerns: Sagging jawline, gravity-related nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollowing due to volume loss – Result: Subtle contour enhancements produced a noticeably younger appearance—without the intensity of surgery.

Here’s how she looked after thread lifting both sides of her face:

Season 4

– Client: Broadcaster in her 30s
– Concern: Deep nasolabial folds that appeared prominently on camera when smiling
– Insight: In some East Asian facial types, deep folds are related to bone structure and may not fully disappear without skeletal changes. A combination of gentle volume support and lift helped soften the folds and rejuvenate the midface.

Season 5

– Client: Show host – Concerns: Frequent smiling deepened folds and made the lower face appear wider; she hoped for a shorter midface – Result: A sharper, youthful jawline reminiscent of earlier years and a visually shorter midface after both sides were completed. Individual results vary.

Season 6

– Client: Our own Director Pangpang – Concerns: Sagging along the jawline and marionette lines – Insight: Although he receives annual thread lifts, doing one side first highlighted the difference and reaffirmed the benefit of consistent maintenance.

Although he receives thread lifting annually, the director shared that experiencing it on just one side gave him a clear sense of its impact.

Season 7

– Client: In her 60s
– Concerns: Sagging jawline and drooping eyelids
– Result: Brighter, more open-looking eyes and a smoothed jawline. Beyond line reduction, the overall impression felt more elegant and refined.

For anyone over 40, sagging jawlines become a real concern. For this client, drooping eyelids were also a problem.

First, we gave her eyes a brighter, more refreshed look.

Her jawline was smoothed out as well!

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate if you: – Notice mild to moderate sagging of the midface, jawline, or smile lines – Prefer a minimally invasive option with short downtime – Seek natural, subtle refinement rather than a dramatic surgical change – Understand that results vary and may be enhanced by complementary treatments (e.g., volume support)

A personalized consultation will determine the best approach for your goals.
