The procedure takes no more than an hour and it is performed only once, since the subcutaneous threads are dissolvable and do not require removal. Although it can be done to eliminate eyebrow and cheek sagging, thread lift mainly focuses on midface, jowl and neck-lifting.<\/p>\n
The procedure works by inserting fine needles and dissolvable threads into the fat layer of the skin. The threads are weaved 3 – 5 mm under the skin and are then pulled back to lift and smoothen the desired areas of your face. This helps reposition the fat pads that tend to drop downwards throughout time as a part of the aging process. The threads hold the skin in place long enough for your own tissues to maintain the lift. The threads then dissolve away, leaving you with natural-looking results.<\/p>\n
Although there are no universal rules before the procedure, professionals recommend you should avoid alcohol and cigarette consumption for at least one week prior to the procedure as well as other substances that might dehydrate your skin. Aspirin-based products should also be avoided as they can cause unnecessary bleeding which can lead to infection or other side effects. Have in mind that it is always better to consult your cosmetic surgeon to determine what works best for you and your skin.<\/p>\n
At the start of the thread lift procedure, the places where the threads should be placed are marked out. Your doctor then administers an antiseptic and a local anaesthetic to the area. The small punctures are made on your skin through which the threads can be inserted. These threads are made of polypropylene and are often referred to as PDO threads. The procedure itself is often called a PDO thread lift. Once in place, the threads are pulled and placed in the optimal place to create the lift that you want. The ends of the threads are then trimmed and the threads are buried under your skin. Since they are dissolvable, they do not require later removal. The procedure is minimally invasive and you should be able to return to the work the following day.<\/p>\n
The results can be seen immediately and the recovery period is significantly shorter compared to surgical operations. However, it is highly recommended not to use make-up or any face and skincare products for 24h – 48h after undergoing thread lifting. You should also let your face rest and limit facial motions for the first 24h after the treatment (avoid things such as drinking from a straw, kissing, smoking, making exaggerated facial expressions etc.). Avoid exercise and heavy physical activity for at least 7 days after the treatment, eat soft food and drink liquids for 7 – 10 days and avoid chewing gums as well as over-exposure to direct sunlight for 2 weeks. Pulling down your face or face massages should also be avoided for at least 3 weeks after the procedure. You can expect to return to your job from 1 day to 1 week depending on the type of work that you are doing. A job that requires more movement, activity and physical exertion would require more time off.<\/p>\n
Although they are rare, side effects of thread lift usually occur in the first 24 – 48 hours after the procedure takes place and will often resolve quickly and by themselves. These include infection, inflammation (from the foreign body under the skin), bruising, numbness or slight asymmetry. In that case, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic cream or another appropriate therapy. In case of pain or discomfort, you can take analgesics e.g. paracetamol. If the pain persists for more than 2 days, consult your doctor or surgeon.<\/p>\n
