Commonly known as a threat lift, string lift is a nonsurgical procedure that helps tighten your skin, giving you a younger look. It also promotes collagen production, creating more supple and firmer skin.
Plastic surgeons use medical-grade, absorbable barbed face lift threads to tighten the skin around the target areas.
Issues That threat Lift Addresses
- Furrowed or sagging eyebrows
- Necklines and double chin
- Jows
- Excess and sagging skin under the eyes
- Excess skin or fat in the cheeks
What To Expect During The Procedure
The plastic surgeon begins by applying local anesthesia and alcohol to the target site. They then use cannulas, tiny hollow needles, to insert face lift threads under your skin. The number of threads used depends on the target area and the severity of your issue.
After setting the threads, the surgeon removes the cannula, and the threads remain in place because of the barbs grabbing your skin. The procedure takes around an hour, and you will see everything your surgeon does.
Post-Procedure Expectations And Results
This is a low-risk procedure requiring minimal recovery time. However, you might experience bruising, bleeding, swelling, and slight pain at the sight of the injection. Other rare complications include irritation, stiffness, infection, skin texture changes, and allergic reactions to the materials used.
You can perform your daily tasks after the procedure. However, avoid rubbing your face or sleeping on the treated side. You should also skip your daily moisturizer and makeup, high-intensity workouts, and saunas for the first few weeks after the procedure.
You should notice results immediately after your procedure. However, they will become more defined with time as the bruising and swelling decrease. Since the threads used are absorbable, the results can last between one and three years.
