As we age, the skin tends to sag and becomes loose. This occurs due to the loss of elasticity from collagen loss combined with the effects of gravity on the skin over a period of time. Early signs of aging, such as mild sagging of the cheeks, jawline, and neck, can be treated by a thread lift. A thread lift or non-surgical facelift can temporarily lift the tissues and restore the youthful appearance of your face.
A thread lift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical alternative to a facelift in dealing with early jowling or sagging of face and neck skin. It is also known as a scarless facelift. It can delay a facelift until it is inevitable. The areas most commonly treated are the mid and lower face, jawline, neck, and eyebrows. It is a quick office-based procedure with no downtime, instantaneous, and dramatic results and comes at a reasonable cost. A combination of facial rejuvenation techniques can achieve the best results.

The thread lift is an out-patient procedure performed under local anaesthesia and typically takes 30-40 mins for the procedure. Threads are sutures threaded on fine needles. They are passed under the skin through specific points, to anchor, pull and hold the skin in the desired position.
The skin is pulled over the threads to stack up the loose skin and achieve the desired result. On average, 3 threads are required to treat the cheeks and 2 each for the jawline, neck, and each eyebrow.
The results are instantaneous and dramatic. Some amount of bruising and swelling is expected post-procedure. You may experience little tightness around your face, which disappears as the face gets used to the lifted skin in 1-2 weeks.
The makeup of the face needs to be avoided for 3-4 days post-procedure. Avoid any massage or strain to face and jaw for 2 weeks.
You will follow up with Dr. Sudhanva 7-10 days after the procedure. Additional follow-ups may not be necessary.
Is thread lift a painful procedure?
The procedure is performed in a pain-free manner with the help of numbing cream and local anaesthesia. Oral pain killers can easily manage recovery after thread lift.
Will I have a pulled-up and tight appearance after my thread lift?
Immediately post-procedure, the face will appear pulled up and tight for a couple of weeks until edema settles. With time a natural-looking result will be evident.
What are the different types of threads used for thread lifts?
The popular types of threads used in thread lifts are barbed threads or cog threads and smooth or suspension threads. The cog threads have barbs which are self-supporting while suspension threads need a stable structure to suspend and hold.
How long do the results last?
The process of aging continues, and the skin will slowly begin to re-sag. The results of the thread lift usually last approximately 1-3 years.
Will I have to re-do a Thread lift
The procedure can be repeated once the skin begins to re-sag. A thread lift can be repeated until the stage of severe sagging, which can only be treated with a facelift.
Will the scars be visible?
The thread lift is performed through small 1-2mm incisions through which needles are passed. The result is virtually scarless.
When can I start exercising post-surgery?
You can resume routine activities and exercise regimen immediately after the procedure. Avoid exercises that may produce a strain on your face for 2 weeks.
When can I resume work after surgery?
Most people return to work on the same day as the procedure.
What are the potential risks and complications of a thread lift?
The specific risks and complications associated with your surgery will be discussed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Sudhanva.
Will my insurance cover thread lift?
A thread lift is a purely cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
