Threads
Benefits
Considerations
The threads remain permanently in place and so will continue to lift. Unfortunately, the ageing process continues and so over time, new sagging will develop. This is true with traditional surgical face lifting as well. When required, further lifting can be carried out in the future by the insertion of new threads and once the new ones are added, the old ones do not need to be removed.
What’s recovery like?
There will be some swelling which settles over 3-5 days. There may be some bruising much of which can be covered with make-up. The needle entry marks are only needlepoint in size and disappear in 2-3 days. Some soreness or pain may be experienced for 3-4 days and if necessary, can be controlled with simple pain relievers. Most patients are able to return to work after a few days to a week. This is the fastest and easiest and safest of all the face-lifting techniques currently available. There are none of the risks of general anaesthesia as it is carried out with local anaesthetic. There is no cutting or invasion and there is no risk of damage to the very important facial nerve, which can happen during surgical face lifting.
