I'm 50 years old. Not ready for a face lift. I'm researching the thread lift procedure for my neck and mid face. I feel this will look more natural. I am concerned about scaring from the punctures. I have had upper lower eyelid surgery in May 2019, and still have some scars. Not sure what is the best threads to use. There are so many out. Any suggestions? I am African American. I do use fillers. But this would be totally new for me. Worth the money? How long does it last? What's the cost? I'm in Atlanta.
