About Thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery. Thread lifts claim to tighten your skin by inserting medical-grade thread material into your face and then “pulling” your skin up by tightening the thread. 

Safety Thread lifts are considered a low-risk procedure with minimal recovery time, but side effects of redness, bruising, and swelling do occur. 

Convenience This procedure can be performed in about 45 minutes, and, if you want to, you can go right back to work afterward. Finding a trained, licensed provider is the key to a safe, effective thread lift. 

How does a thread lift work? The thread lift procedure works in two ways. The first is fairly straightforward. By threading thin, dissolvable sutures underneath your skin, your doctor is able to pull your skin tight around your forehead, neck, or torso. Invisible, painless “barbs” grab on to your skin and make sure that the thread grips your underlying tissue and muscles as the thread is pulled tight. Once a barbed thread is inserted, your body’s healing response is triggered. Even though you’re not injured by the threads under your skin, your body detects a suture material and stimulates collagen production in the affected area. Collagen can fill gaps in sagging skin and restore a more youthful elasticity to your face. A small 2017 studyTrusted Source suggested that the primary effect of a thread lift procedure is skin appearing tighter and more structured. After a year, this effect begins to decrease as the sutures dissolve. However, there was a secondary “rejuvenation” effect that stayed in place and was noticeable 3 years or more after the procedure. 

Targeted areas for a thread lift Many people choose a thread lift for facial areas that “sag” or look less tight over time. These areas include: jowls and jawline brow line under-eye area forehead cheeks Thread lifts are also usedTrusted Source to lift and tighten breasts, especially after pregnancy and weight loss. 

Are there any risks or side effects? A thread lift is considered a low-risk procedure, but there are side effects and a risk of complications. After a thread lift, it’s not uncommon to experience the following: bruising swelling bleeding slight pain at the site of the thread injection There’s a 15 to 20 percent chance of complications, including dimpling. Possible complications are minor and can easily be corrected. 

Complications to look out for include: allergic reaction to ingredients in the threading material bleeding as a result of the procedure building up behind your skin visible dimpling or pulling where the threads have been inserted migration or unintended “movement” of the threads that result in skin that looks lumpy or bulges pain under your skin as a result of the thread being too “tight” or awkwardly placed infection at the site of the procedure

 

Of all the risks of a thread lift, infection is the one to watch out for most carefully. Call your doctor right away if you
