Fine Thread Contour

The thread lift can be used to enhance and improve the appearance of a sagging neck, sagging cheeks, jowls, droopy eyebrows and other body areas including the abdomen, upper arms and breasts.

A thread lift offers excellent results and a quick recovery without any scarring. If you are looking for results that are more effective and longer lasting than Botox® and fillers, then a thread lift is the ideal choice.

The fine bio-absorbable and antimicrobial filament threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles. No incision is needed therefore there is no risk of dimpling or deformity on the skin.

A thread lift’s lasting power depends on the age of the patient at the time of procedure and how much sagging the thread lift has corrected. It should be noted that sagging will return over time, but many reports state results last for anything between 2-3 years. To extend the results it is possible to have additional filaments inserted and your doctor can advise you when this is required.

Once the procedure is complete you will be provided with aftercare instructions to help to relieve any discomfort and speed up the process of healing. For the first 24-48 hours you can use ice compresses to deal with any swelling and help alleviate discomfort. Recovery times are usually less than one week although strenuous exercise should be avoided for between 2 and 3 weeks.

Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include temporary skin reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, swelling, bruising, or itching.
