Will Removing Threads 4 Years Post Thread Lift Cause Jowl to Sag? I am having a neck lift done and have had a Thread Lift for 4 years now. My doctor wants to remove the threads in the neck and jowl area while doing the Neck lift.

However, he will not be doing a Face lift, only a Neck lift. Will my face drop in the jowl area if he does this? Usually, people who remove the threads get the Face lift. I don't need one right now and think it’s because of the Thread Lift. Help!

A: Thread lift longevity

It is difficult to know for sure but usually thread lift longevity is not more than 2 years. The reason why is the tissue that the threads suspend weakens or the threads pull through. Removing these threads at this point will USUALLY not cause significant changes in the way you look.

You should have a clear discussion with your plastic surgeon and be prepared that, while unikely, there may be changes after the threads are removed.
