The first photo I shared was several weeks after the procedure. Some time later, the second photo I shared was after one week of taking hyaluronic acid, and I was seeing much improvement from doing so. (After seeing NO improvement before taking the supplement.)
Within three weeks of taking relatively large doses of hyaluronic acid, my face was back to normal. Once my face returned to normal, I quit taking the supplement.
I had to find this solution on my own because the professionals I consulted did not know about it.
I’m done updating now. Hope my experience helps others.

In my last update, I’d ordered a high quality hyaluronic acid supplement. I started the hyaluronic acid supplement less than a week ago. I’m already seeing some improvement. Especially with the dimple - I’d say it has resolved about 50%.
When I spent weeks waiting for “natural hydrolysis” to occur, my face just got more and more disfigured and there was NO improvement. So I know it’s the hyaluronic acid that’s helping.
Last week, the dimple and the thread buckling right below it looked worse than the first picture I posted here weeks ago. I’ll upload a new one now. The superficial thread on the other side still looks bad, but it has improved as well.
(I’ve lost some weight due to being emotionally distressed over this and also because the pain around my mouth makes it difficult to eat.)
...Oh, I want to add something else about this experience: They don’t tell you this, but it’s a psychologically disturbing phenomenon to touch your face (for ex., when washing), and feel the threads under your skin. They feel like bouncy lines/bumps of plastic. It’s a disgusting and unnerving sensation. I wish I could just have my face back the way it was before this horrific procedure.

I was considering having this done. This experience really gives me pause. Wonder if it was bad placement or a bad reaction or this is common.

Were these cog/barbed threads inserted with a long say 19G cannula? If you can feel the bumps I guess that's from the barbs. It's a pretty invasive procedure, up to 160mm and has to be kept in the right dermal plane or you can get nerve damage. The thread showing suggests it was inserted too superficially.

I had a thredlift done in Korea and didn't experience any negative side effects. Neither did I feel or could see any threads under my skin. I would love to do it again, but actually I'm scared of doing it the US, as I see a lot of bad reviews about thread lifts here.

This week, I scheduled a consultation with a top plastic surgeon in our area. He had several negative things to say about my thread lift. One of the worst things was the possible (and likely) damage to the mental nerve located in the chin area. Because of the precarious placement of the threads that are causing the most trouble, he will need to sedate me to remove them. I’m frightened by this possibility, so I’m going to wait several more weeks to see if those areas improve. I took a pic today and compared it to a pic from a week ago and it actually looks WORSE this week. :-(
I’m really struggling with emotional distress over this.
Has anyone else had thread buckling and superficial threads showing? How long did it take before they were no longer visible?
I saw two studies online showing how hyaluronic acid caused rapid degradation of these threads (in vitro, microscopic, and clinical evidence). In the studies, it was applied directly to the threads. I ordered a high quality hyaluronic acid supplement and I hope it helps speed up the process of the threads dissolving.
Will update if there’s any improvement.

I'm really, really sorry. I feel your pain in these words. Just know it IS temporary. One year from now, this will all be resolved one way or another. I know a year is a long time, but at least it's not a permanent thing. :(

Oh man I am so sorry you are going through this. He should give ALL of your money back so you can put this toward corrective surgery with someone else. He gave you substandard service and results, and did not deliver under reasonable consumer expectations. For him to offer another service in the future and to pay him again at a discounted fee is ludicrous and is completely insulting ones intelligence. After he did that to you why the hell would he expect you to trust him again and at further cost to you. Wow someone needs start and watch dog on these guys and hold them accountable at least to refund people's money because most will not do this and they absolutely should. Some plastic surgeons are completely unethical. Hope everything works out. Go there and tell him you and your friends will picket outside his business and warn people as they enter his office. If that's legal....
