About the procedure
Thread lifting places threads beneath the skin to support selected tissues. Thread types and techniques vary. The procedure does not remove excess skin or reproduce every effect of a surgical facelift.
Your consultation
The consultation assesses the degree of laxity, skin thickness and previous procedures. It covers realistic change, the proposed material and whether another method would better address the goal.
What to expect
- Review anatomy and suitable alternatives.
- Explain the thread type, placement and risks.
- Perform treatment and arrange follow-up reviews.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary irregularities can occur. Recovery depends on the area and technique; any upcoming important event should be discussed in advance.
What to consider
Risks include infection, asymmetry, visible or palpable threads and movement of threads. The effect is not permanent, and an identical duration cannot be guaranteed for everyone.
Common questions
Are all threads absorbable?
Different products exist. The exact type, material and its expected behaviour should be explained for the proposed procedure.
When might surgery be more appropriate?
When the desired change or amount of excess skin exceeds what threads can offer. This distinction should be discussed at consultation.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
