Thread Lift

What is Thread Lift?

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at lifting and tightening the skin. This technique involves inserting biodegradable sutures under the skin to achieve a subtle but visible lift.

Am I a Good Candidate?

• Ideal for individuals with mild to moderate sagging of the skin, particularly in the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
• Not as effective for those with severe skin laxity or excessive loose skin.
• Typically suitable for individuals in their late 30s to early 50s.
• Older individuals with significant aging might benefit more from traditional facelift surgery.
• Candidates should be in good overall health.
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure.
• No underlying conditions that impair healing (e.g., autoimmune diseases, blood clotting disorders).
• Understanding that a thread lift provides subtle and natural-looking results, not as dramatic as a traditional facelift.
• Awareness of the temporary nature of the results, typically lasting 1-2 years.
• Willingness to follow post-procedure care instructions to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications.

Benefits:

• Requires only small incisions, resulting in less trauma to the skin and underlying tissues.
• Reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgical facelifts.
• Minimal downtime, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
• Less swelling and bruising compared to more invasive procedures.
• Noticeable lifting and tightening effects are visible immediately after the procedure.
• Further improvement as swelling subsides and collagen production is stimulated.
• Subtle and gradual enhancement provides a natural rejuvenated appearance.
• Results typically last 1-2 years, providing a long-lasting effect without permanent alteration.
• Less associated costs due to reduced need for anesthesia and shorter recovery.
• Small incisions minimize the risk of visible scarring.
• Can be combined with other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, or skin resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
• Helps individuals feel more youthful and refreshed without undergoing extensive surgery.

More Details:

Often the fatty tissue that was once within your cheeks will rotate towards your nose or mouth, which causes deeper nasolabial creases and can pull down the lower eyelid tissue.

Similarly to the deep plane face and neck lift, our surgeons’ cheek lifts are like no other, aiming to reposition the cheeks back on the cheekbones providing a younger, and more pleasant appearance. This procedure can vertically lift and restore cheeks where volume has been lost or descended. It also softens deep lines around the nose and mouth.

A cheek lift differs from a traditional facelift surgery. A cheek lift aims to restore the volume and curves of the cheeks for a fuller, more youthful appearance. The procedure takes around 2 hours, and it can be done under local or intravenous anesthesia.

The cheek lift procedure can be combined with buccal fat removal in cases of heavy or poorly defined cheeks.
