When you’re choosing a clinic for facial sagging treatment, make sure you can consult with the doctor who will actually perform your treatment, and that they have experience with a wide range of cases. We also explain why sagging, volume loss and weakened ligaments call for a combined approach tailored to each cause.
Hello from DAYONE Clinic. Many people looking into treatments for facial sagging aren’t sure how to choose a clinic. Today, we’ll go over the two things you should always check before you decide.
1. Can you consult with the doctor who will actually treat you?
This is the most important criterion. Unlike simple treatments such as Botox or skin boosters, combined treatments—like a thread lift with ligament-strengthening filler—require a consultation beforehand with a doctor who can examine your face and design your treatment plan personally.
Even when two people share the same concern about sagging, the results can vary considerably depending on the plan. So rather than a clinic where you see the doctor only briefly on treatment day, look for one where you can talk at length with the doctor who evaluates your face and designs a treatment to match.
2. Does the doctor have enough experience?
The degree of sagging, skin thickness, ligament condition, fat distribution—all of these differ from person to person. Treating every face the same way can’t produce good results when no two faces are alike.
It’s important to find out whether the doctor has handled a wide variety of cases. Browsing real case examples on YouTube or a clinic’s own channel can also help, since you can see for yourself whether the results look natural and whether the face as a whole has improved in a balanced way.
Why combined treatment matters: a recap
To address facial sagging, you need to tackle three separate causes—drooping, hollowing and weakened ligaments—each in its own way.
Sagging areas—lifted with a thread lift
Hollow areas—filled with a small amount of filler
Stretched ligaments—reinforced with ligament-strengthening filler to maintain results
Combining all three, matched to each cause, can deliver natural-looking, longer-lasting results. Doing just one—using only filler when sagging is the problem, or getting a thread lift without reinforcing the ligaments—can leave you less satisfied, or the results may fade quickly.
The bottom line
Marionette lines, smile lines and a sagging jawline are often the most stressful changes that come with age. They may seem difficult to correct, but a combined approach tailored to the underlying cause can improve them with natural-looking results.
