Thread Lift - 1 Pair

Dr. Tolga Temel: Thread Lift - 1 Pair

Thread lifting, or the suture facelift, is a state-of-the-art cosmetic treatment in which special threads are used to raise and tighten loose skin. This novel, minimally invasive procedure has gained unprecedented success because of its quick outcome and less recovery time. Since people have searched for alternatives to the conventional and serious surgery of a facelift, thread lift provides an easy alternative for such patients to make their facial features more attractive and pleasing without undergoing extensive surgery.

The process involves using biodegradable threads inserted under the skin, physically lifting the tissue to stimulate collagen production for long-lasting effects.

What is a Thread Lift?

Thread lifting is the cosmetic procedure of lifting skin by the insertion of specially designed threads. These are mostly made from materials such as polydioxanone positioned to re-suspend tissues that sag in order to give a more youthful and well-contoured appearance. As time goes on, these threads dissolve to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin texture with improved turgidity.

Benefits for Thread Lifting

There are several advantages that make thread lifting quite tempting for many people. Here they are:

Minimally Invasive: Thread lifts do not need large incisions as in traditional facelifts; therefore, less trauma and scarring are expected.

Speedy Procedure: The whole treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes and thus patients can get back into their daily activities sooner.

Immediate Results: Many patients have the opportunity to notice a visible lift right after the procedure, though it will be continuing to improve in the following months due to collagen building.

Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last from six months to two years, depending on individual factors and the type of threads used.

Collagen Stimulation: The threads provoke natural collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.

The Consultation Process

Analyze your skin quality and address your aesthetic concerns regarding.

Go over your medical history and drugs you are currently using. The thread lift treatment will be discussed with you in detail, including what types of threads will be used and how the procedure and post-treatment will proceed. This will also be an excellent time for questions from you and an explanation regarding your expectations, so you will be able to feel comfortable and secure about proceeding with the procedure.

The Thread Lift Procedure

The thread lift procedure generally involves the following:

Preparation: The area is cleaned and marked for thread placement. The procedure may involve the use of local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. 
Thread Insertion: Thin needles are used to insert threads into the subcutaneous tissue at pre-marked points. 
Pulling: Following the placement of the threads, a gentle tug will achieve the desired elevation. The excess thread is then cut, leaving the anchoring points within the tissue.

The post-procedure care can involve instructions related to the care one has to take afterward and expected recovery. The entire process takes around 30 to 60 minutes, hence being quick and very convenient.

Recovery and Aftercare

Generally, thread lift recoveries are uncomplicated; however, the following can be followed to ensure an optimal outcome:

Avoid Vigorous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous exercises for at least one week following the procedure. This may be detrimental in causing more swelling or the displacement of threads.

Follow-Up Care: Follow through with all follow-up appointments your practitioner may have scheduled to check on the healing process and resolve any queries one might have.

Discomfort: Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is possible. Over-the-counter pain medication may help improve this.

Most people can return to daily activities within a day or two, but minor puffiness may remain for a week or longer.
