It was enticing a few years ago to try to produce some of the effects of a facelift without surgery. Thread lifts and ribbon lifts are all part of this concept. The problem with them is that they really didn't work much at all and even when there was a change it didn't last long. The procedure cost much more than it was worth because the company that made the threads priced them to the doctors at a very high level. Now, nobody is doing these anymore.
A properly done facelift (not a mini or a Life Style lift) performed by an expert will give you the full result you want without looking operated on. There is only a 2 week recovery until you are extremely presentable and the pain is very minimal for most patients. The result will last and you will be very happy you went this way.
