A Thread Facelift
Known as a Thread Lift
A cosmetic procedure designed to offer a less invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. It involves the use of temporary, medical-grade suture material to “stitch-up” your skin so that it’s pulled taut. The primary goal is to lift and sculpt the shape of your face by repositioning the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This procedure has gained popularity among those seeking anti-aging solutions without the downtime, risks, and costs associated with more invasive surgeries.

Benefits of Thread Facelift
Minimally Invasive
Unlike traditional facelift surgery, thread lifts are minimally invasive, requiring only local anaesthesia. This reduces the risks associated with general anaesthesia and surgical complications.
MiReduced Recovery Time
The recovery period for a thread lift is much shorter compared to that of a conventional facelift. Patients can often return to normal activities within a few days.
Immediate Results
The lifting effect is visible immediately after the procedure, although the final result will gradually improve as swelling and bruising subside over the following days and weeks.
Natural-Looking Results
Thread lifts provide a more subtle and natural-looking lift compared to some surgical facelift results, which can sometimes appear overly tight or pulled.
Collagen Stimulation
Thread lifts provide a more subtle and natural-looking lift compared to some surgical facelift results, which can sometimes appear overly tight or pulled.
Cost-Effective
A thread lift is generally less expensive than a traditional facelift, making it a more accessible option for individuals looking to address signs of aging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a thread facelift work?
The procedure involves inserting thin threads into the skin through tiny incisions or needle punctures. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that latch onto the skin, allowing the practitioner to pull the skin taut. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production in the treated areas, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Who is a good candidate for a thread facelift?
Good candidates for a thread facelift are typically individuals in their 30s to 50s who have begun to notice mild to moderate sagging in their facial skin but do not yet require a full surgical facelift. Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
What areas can be treated with a thread facelift?
Common areas treated with a thread facelift include the cheeks, jowls, neck, eyebrows, and areas around the eyes. The procedure can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines in these areas.
What is the recovery time for a thread facelift?
Recovery time for a thread facelift is relatively short compared to traditional facelift surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although minor swelling, bruising, and soreness may last for a week or two. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of weeks to allow proper healing.
How long do the results of a thread facelift last?
The results of a thread facelift can vary but typically last from 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of threads used, the patient’s skin condition, and how well they maintain their skin post-procedure. As the threads are absorbed by the body, the stimulated collagen production can help extend the duration of the lifting effect.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with a thread facelift?
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including infection, swelling, bruising, discomfort at the thread insertion sites, and the possibility of threads being visible under the skin or migrating from their original position. Choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner can help minimize these risks.
How much does a thread facelift cost?
The cost of a thread facelift can vary widely depending on the practitioner’s experience, the geographic location, the number of threads used, and the areas being treated. Generally, it is less expensive than a traditional facelift but more costly than non-invasive treatments like fillers or Botox.
Can a thread facelift be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, thread facelifts can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as fillers, Botox, or laser treatments, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation effects. It’s important to discuss your aesthetic goals with your practitioner, who can recommend a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How should I choose a practitioner for a thread facelift?
Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or cosmetic doctor with extensive experience in thread lifts and other facial rejuvenation techniques. Research their qualifications, read patient reviews, and ask to see before-and-after photos of their previous thread lift patients.
