Is tethering after a brow lift normal?

November 15, 2018
Asked By:MarjorieProops in Australia, AU

Dear Doctors, I have an APTOS brow thread lift around six weeks ago. It has never looked good as there is a lot of tethering in the middle and outer edges of the brows. It looks very strange, it's not subsiding and feels very lumpy. Please can you advise if this is normal and if so, how long it takes for things to settle? I have watched numerous brow threading videos and none so far has been left with this unevenness and tethering. Thank you so much.

Ian Strawford, MBChB, MBCAM says:

You have not made it clear what thread lift you had but I assume when you talk about the cones you are referring to Silhouette Soft. Im afraid you do have thin skin which can make the procedure more difficult to place the suture at the correct depth. Also not using enough sutures will...
