Hello
I'm Dr. Park from Noonopi Plastic Surgery, Korea.

PCL threads are biodegradable, but they take up to two years to fully dissolve, so they can potentially interfere with a future facelift.
That said, an experienced surgeon can often remove the threads during the facelift procedure.
However, if a large number of threads were previously inserted, it may not be possible to remove every single one, and this can sometimes contribute to less-than-ideal results.

The outcome isn’t bad — it seems the procedure was likely performed by an experienced surgeon.
The submandibular glands contribute to volume just lateral to the midline of the neck.
If you’re finding the central portion of your neck still lacking definition, it could be due to incomplete removal of subplatysmal fat or insufficient digastric muscle contouring.

It is possible to do the revision surgery, but please note that revisions are typically more complex than the primary procedure.

Upper lid hollowness can be effectively treated with fat grafting.
I hope the before-and-after photos in the link below are helpful.
However, please keep in mind that fat grafting to the eyelid area is technically more demanding than in other facial regions.

Hello, this is Dr. NK Park from Noonopi Plastic Surgery in Korea.
From a surgeon’s perspective, you are right — repeated thread lifts, HIFU, RF treatments, or injectables can indeed interfere with future facelift surgery. However, I also fully understand that from a patient’s perspective, it’s not easy to forgo all aesthetic treatments in the present just to preserve the possibility of future surgery.

That said, it is generally advisable to avoid those procedures for at least one year prior to facelift surgery. In fact, many respected facelift surgeons recommend refraining from any minimally invasive procedures for a year or more before undergoing a facelift.

Among the popular treatments in today’s aesthetic market, the one that least interferes with facelift outcomes is BBL SkinTyte. This treatment promotes collagen regeneration by targeting the superficial skin layers only, without affecting the deeper layers like RF or HIFU does.

It appears that the distance between the brow and the eyes is slightly short. An endoscopic brow lift would help create a more youthful appearance.

If you're open to a more comprehensive improvement, I would consider performing a new facelift. Based on the photos, there’s still room for improvement in the jowls and nasolabial folds.
Since you've previously had a SMAS plication, a high SMAS facelift using dual-plane dissection can be performed safely.
