Thread Facelift
A thread facelift is a safe, convenient alternative to traditional facelift surgery.
Designed to be less invasive, it can reduce sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and neck more quickly and with less risk than the conventional approach. Special threads are used during this facelift to discreetly hold repositioned skin and facial tissue in place after surgery.
In a Contour Thread Lift, clear threads are used to further minimize any traces of surgery.
And while thread lifts generally produce noticeable results almost immediately and with less risk and inconvenience than more intensive procedures, thread lift costs are quite reasonable compared to traditional options.
A thread facelift designed for people experiencing early signs of aging, such as minor facial sagging.
Often without anesthesia.
During a thread facelift, the cosmetic surgeon inserts thin threads into the face through tiny incisions made in the targeted area. These threads attach to the skin tissue and are then pulled back to lift and smooth the face. Almost immediately, treated areas will be raised slightly, eliminating sagging and giving patients a rejuvenated appearance.
Before Surgery:
Prior to your procedure, it is important to clearly set out your expectations with a cosmetic surgeon. While a thread lift can deliver great results, it may be the case that you require a more invasive face lift procedure to achieve the desired results.
During Surgery:
During surgery, small 1-2mm incisions will be made at various points on the face. A hollow needle will then be inserted into the skin to put the threads in place. The threads are attached to the fat underneath the skin, and will then be adjusted to tighten and smooth the contours of your face.The excess thread is trimmed so it does not appear above the skin surface.
A thread lift procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the number of areas being treated and the type of threads used.
Recovery:
Post-procedure you may experience some slight bruising and swelling, which usually settles in a few days. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients returning to work the next day or after a few days rest, although you may find that your facial movement is limited for the first week or two.
