PLASTIC SURGERY THREAD LIFT

Thread Lift
As an anti-aging alternative to cosmetic surgery, a threadlift is a minimally-invasive technique designed to give you a refreshed appearance through the use of fine surgical threads. Although a threadlift can raise droopy areas of the brow, cheeks, jowls, and neck, it will not produce the same dramatic results as a facelift or brow lift.

Duration of surgery:
30 Minutes

Outpatient

Anesthesia Used:
Local

Risks and possible complications:
Rare possibility of skin irregularities, asymmetries, puckering, visibility of thread through the skin, threads poking through the skin, and infection.

Surgery results:
Immediate; although expected to last no more than 3 years before having the threads tightened or to add new ones.

Preparation before Surgery:
  • Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  • Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
  • You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
  • Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
