Thread Lift

A thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure that places medical threads under the skin to lift sagging tissue and refine facial contours. Thread type, number and placement are selected for the face shape and direction of sagging.

It can be used for sagging cheeks, jawline, facial contour and areas around the nasolabial folds. Suitable areas vary with face shape, fat volume and skin elasticity.

Noticeable swelling and bruising may last about one to two weeks. Tenderness or discomfort when pressing the treated area can continue for about three to four weeks.

Immediate tightness and swelling are not the final result. Changes are assessed as swelling and bruising settle. The effect is not permanent, and its duration varies with thread characteristics, tissue condition and aging; a fixed duration cannot be guaranteed.

The number depends on face size, degree of sagging, skin thickness, fat volume and desired correction. Selecting the right type and placement is more important than simply using more threads.

Temporary dimpling or unevenness can occur while the threads pull the tissue. It usually improves as swelling decreases and tissues settle; severe or persistent symptoms should be checked by the clinic.

Strong massage, facial treatments and radiofrequency or ultrasound home devices are generally advised only after at least one month. Avoid strong pressure while the threads stabilize.

Limit excessive mouth opening and strong facial muscle movement early on. Avoid tough foods, excessive yawning and strong facial massage that could stress the treated areas.

Confirm the area, extent, product or device, anesthesia, tax, medication and follow-up inclusions. Combined treatments or additional sessions can change the total; obtain an individual quote after examination.
