● In the thread lift procedure, the patient is reclined comfortably and targeted skin is cleaned with alcohol followed by the topical anaesthesia application. Then the surgeon will insert a thin needle or cannula to place thread underneath the skin of the patient. After insertion of threads needle or cannula is removed.
● The result can be seen instantly but the final result will be visible after a couple of weeks. These results can last 1-3 years.
● This whole procedure can take 45-60 minutes and the patient will be free to go home.
● This procedure can be used with other non-surgical cosmetic procedures to boost collagen production and enhance the results.
● It is used for sagging areas of the face like:
○ Jowls and jawline
○ Browline
○ Under-eye area
○ Forehead
○ Cheeks
● They are also used to lift and tighten breasts, especially after pregnancy and weight loss.
● Advantages of thread lift:
○ Non-surgical procedure for treating the ageing signs
○ Quick procedure
○ A good option for patients who do not want to go for surgery due to fear or health
○ Faster recovery
○ Virtually no risk of surgical wound complications like scarring and bleeding
● NovaThreads sutures are made from a biocompatible polydioxanone (PDO) material, for safe re-absorption by the body. They start dissolving in 4-6 months after placement. This results in increased collagen production and lifting of the skin.
● Types of NovaThreads are :
○ Barbed sutures are designed for lifting the skin and are usually placed near the hairline in order to gently pull back the skin and lift the cheeks and jowls.
○ Straight or curved smooth sutures are used for collagen stimulation and placed areas of the face with noticeable signs of ageing.
● These sutures are placed after local anaesthesia with the help of a thin cannula or needle. This whole process takes 3-45 minutes only and the patient is free to return to a normal daily routine.
● Silhouette InstaLift are also biocompatible temporary sutures used to lift the face. They are mainly used for lifting skin rather than stimulating collagen production.
● These threads have tiny cones shape sutures interspersed for grabbing tissue efficiently. This helps in gathering more skin, producing a more noticeable lift to the face skin especially in the cheeks and jowls.
● This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and threads are inserted into the skin with the help of a thin needle. The whole procedure is completed in 45 minutes and the patient can resume the daily activities on the same day.
The patient will be advised to:
Some visible swelling and bruising are expected with minimal recovery time after a successful thread lift procedure. The patient can resume daily life routine immediately.
Noticeable results can be seen instantly but final results are completely visible once swelling and bruising are gone. These results last from 1-3 years as threads are absorbed by the tissues of the body. Thread lift is a very good option in treating mild to moderate ageing signs safely and effectively without surgery.
