Thread Lift for Beautiful Brow, Cheeks, Jowls, Neck

Your face is often your calling card, and you always want to look your best.  However, if you are beginning to see signs of aging in your face, you may have a desire for a mini face lift.  The thread lift is a mini face lift that is often called the “lunchtime lift.”  An obvious reason for this moniker is the fact that it usually takes very little time and the results can be immediate.  For people who do not want to pay for a full traditional face lift and who don’t need extensive treatment, this procedure is the perfect option.  If you are experiencing issues with sagging caused by weakened muscles or you have lost some facial support, then you may be interested in this procedure.  The basic idea is that threads are connected in specified places to lift the sagging eyebrows or eyelids or even neck tissues to produce a more youthful appearance.  Procedure

Usually, the thread lift procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and there is no need for general anesthesia.  The only incisions made are small ones that fit the thin needle that the surgeon uses to insert the threads.  The threads are small barbed sutures that are placed under the facial tissues in such a way that the barbs grab the sagging areas of skin so that they can be pulled up and tightened.  The teeth on the opposite ends from the barbs anchor the skin to the tissue.  During a thread lift, anywhere from 2 to 20 threads may be used by the surgeon.  Because there are no true incisions, there is no scarring.  No external sutures are used in this procedure. 

Thread Lift Contraindications

People with extremely jowly faces or those who desire a dramatic change in their facial features should consider other procedures.  People who have serious medical issues are not good candidates for surgery, but the thread lift doesn’t require anesthesia, so it may actually be an option for more people. 

Thread Lift Price

A thread lift can cost anywhere from $1500 to $4500, depending on the number of threads used, the area of treatment and on the surgeon’s fees.  It is considered cosmetic or elective surgery, so the majority of insurance companies will not cover its costs. 

Thread Lift Complications

Complications of the thread lift procedure are generally quite minimal because it is a minimally invasive procedure.  Some temporary numbness, bruising, lack of sensitivity or swelling may occur.  The biggest issue is when people don’t see a noticeable improvement.  People with very thin skin may see the threads through the skin and there is the slight possibility that the sutures may migrate. If you experience serious adverse effects or painful symptoms, your Physician will prescribe you an appropriate treatment to fight against these health issues.
