I'm a 46-year-old middle-aged woman who was really worried about the swelling after getting 9 lines on both sides of the mint thread lifting (V-line and nasolabial fold) and a total of 18 lines. My skin is not thin, and I had the first shrink two months ago and this is my second mint thread lifting. I was really worried because I had a wide jaw and a wide face as a side effect (I had swelling too, because I was originally thin, but it swelled and widened like a square jaw and I thought it wouldn't come back), but (Plus, the doctor said the swelling would last for a month to a month and a half and the effects would come after that). It's been 2 weeks now... My skin has become firmer and I feel like I've already lined up and returned to how I was before. There was a little sagging under the cheekbones, but I think it's because the V-line is forming, and it's not unsightly and my nasolabial fold has also decreased. My husband said that I'm good at it, so I used a home LED high-frequency massager at home for about 5 minutes in the evening and lightly applied the Gua Sha acupressure that I used to. Is that why? I'm very satisfied now. The head of the consultation room told me to do it once a year (the maintenance period is 1 year). I'm scared that side effects, which aren't side effects, will come back and that the effects will decrease. What should I do about the wrinkles after a year ? I'm really worried.
