The Thread Lift Procedure
During this procedure, fine threads are placed beneath the skin to gently lift specific areas. These threads may also encourage the body’s natural collagen response.
Temporary side effects such as swelling or bruising can occur afterwards, and recovery time varies from person to person. How long the effects last depends on factors such as the type of threads used and individual healing.
Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it's important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Talk to your cosmetic doctor about what to expect from the surgery and make sure you understand the recovery time and results.
Before & After Photos
Why Choose a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a procedure that places temporary threads under the skin of the face or neck to provide support in targeted areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or neck. In some cases, the threads may also stimulate the body’s natural collagen response.
The outcome of a thread lift varies between patients. Factors such as the type of threads used, individual healing, and lifestyle can all influence how long the effects last. In general, results are considered temporary, and further treatment may be required over time.
How Does it Work
A thread lift involves placing temporary threads beneath the skin in selected areas of the face or neck. These threads provide support and may also encourage the body’s natural collagen response.
After the threads are placed, the area is checked and adjusted as needed. Some patients may experience temporary effects such as swelling or bruising, which resolve over time.
After the Procedure
For about two weeks after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid strong facial movements, such as chewing gum, eating very firm foods, or doing vigorous or high-impact activities. Swelling and bruising are common and tend to resolve over time. Some patients may also notice small marks or indentations where the threads were placed.
