Thread lift

What is a thread lift?

In a thread lift, special, dissolvable sutures (threads) are used to lift and tighten loose skin on the face and neck in a minimally invasive procedure. Lunchtime facelift procedures are frequently referred to as that because the recovery period is much shorter than that of traditional facelifts.

Thread lift Before and After

Let’s see what you should notice in the results before and after getting a thread lift.

Before Thread Lift:

• A drooping look on the cheeks, jawline, around the neck or on the brows
• Loss of structure and shape in the middle and lower part of the face
• Wrinkles or creases, for example, nasolabial folds or marionette lines
• Even with strong skin care, skin is still tired-looking or aged

After Thread Lift:

• A dramatic lift of the cheek (for higher cheekbones) and stronger jawline 
• Skin becomes firmer and more sculpted.
• In the next weeks, you should see a more even texture and less visible lines with collagen building
• An improved appearance that does not involve surgery
• Softer and more natural results are produced (unlike the tighter and more noticeable outcome after surgery).

Thread lift Cost

• The cost of thread lift is $500.

Thread lift Side Effects

When a thread lift is handled by an experienced professional, it should be safe, though it still has potential dangers like with any cosmetic procedure.

Common (Usually Mild and Temporary) Side Effects:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Tenderness or soreness
• Skin dimpling or irregularities
• Tightness

Less Common but Possible Risks:

• Infection at the thread entry points (rare, but requires antibiotics or removal)
• Threads breaking through the skin (thread extrusion)
• Asymmetry or uneven results
• Threads can be moved when not properly placed in the thimble (thread migration).
• Dimpling, pitting or scarring (often on thin and easy-to-mark skin)
• Irritation of the nearby nerve or a brief feeling of numbness

Thread lift Procedure

Consultation & Planning

• There should be an evaluation of the skin to see which areas (such as jaw, cheeks, neck and brows) would benefit from face lift.
• A treatment plan is created, including the type and direction of threads

Preparation

• Area is disinfected and cleaned
• The area where the needle will enter is numbed by putting on local anaesthesia.

Thread Insertion

• Special dissolvable threads (like PDO threads) are carefully inserted into the skin through a small needle or cannula.
• They are attached in the subdermal tissue and then a gentle tugging is used to provide lift and support
• The strands could be designed with small gripping features such as barbs, cones or anchors.

Managing & Securing

• The dermatologist smoothes out the skin and gently shapes it for a natural effect.
• They are trimmed if it is necessary
• Sometimes just a tiny bandage can be put over where the needle went in.

Recovery

• You are generally allowed to go home immediately.
• Mild swelling, a feeling of tightness or bruising might occur but goes away in just a few days.

Post-Procedure Care:

• Do not rub the affected area, avoid massaging and do not sleep face-down for at least a week.
• For about 7–10 days, do not engage in rigorous exercise, hot sauna sessions or any kind of facial treatment.
• Use mild beauty products and follow the treatment plan given by the doctor.

Best Thread lift for Face

The best thread lift procedure for your face depends on your age, type of skin, what results you want and your budget, however, here’s an overview of the most sought-after threads professionals worldwide.

Major thread types for facial lifting are:

PDO (Polydioxanone)

• Self-dissolving surgical stitches
• Some sagging in the area
• ~6–12 months
• The main treatment; it induces collagen growth; and it is commonly tolerated.

PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)

• Collagen stimulator
• Good for sagging that takes time to develop, but the results are not permanent.
• ~18–24 months
• Better strength, leading to more collagen creation

PCL (Polycaprolactone)

• Material that stays durable for a long time
• The effect becomes more dramatic as you get older and the procedure is updated.
• ~24–36 months
• It is soft and can move and its effects may last for many years.

Silhouette Soft, made out of PLLA with cones

• Coned thread
• Mid-face, jawline
• ~18–24 months
• Gives volume; is popular in Europe and Asia

APTOS threads

• Assembling the object with ‘hybrid barbed threads’
• The areas around the brow, cheeks and neck.
• ~12–24 months
• Advanced features make them suitable for doing more difficult lifts.

Thread lift Recovery Time

Recovery from a thread lift only takes a short time which is far less than traditional facelift. Most often, people experience little downtime and go back to their daily routines fast.

Typical Outlook on mental health recovery:

• In the first three days, you may experience a bit of swelling, soreness and tightness and there could be bruising at where you were injected.
• Swelling and discomfort are likely to begin to settle down on days 4–7 and the wound should start looking better.
• By the second week, bruising tends to fade and tightness weakens and the subtle lift is often noticeable.
• The next few weeks see the final results appear as collagen develops and the skin changes.
• 3+ Months: Better skin tone and texture are achieved with ongoing collagen support.

Thread lift under Eyes

With a thread lift under the eyes, small threads are placed under the eyes to lift and tighten loose upper eyelid skin. It is intended to decrease eye bags, wrinkles and tear troughs to offer a revitalized, young-looking face.

It Can Be Used to Improve:

• Puffy or swollen eyelid skin
• Loose or loose-looking skin
• Sunken tear areas
• Lines and wrinkles
• Mild dark circles (the result of shadows, not of color)

It works by:

• Small, thin (mono) or slightly barbed (cog) threads are passed beneath the eye area through a blunt cannula.
• The lifting technique in threads temporarily boosts collagen for weeks afterwards.
• It causes the area to become larger and more solid, so wrinkles and bags are smoothed out.
