Can thread achieve the look of face tape? (Photos)

I’m almost 44 years old and I have been using face tape with an elastic band to slim my chin and lower face area. I really like the effect and it takes years and probably ten pounds off my face. I like the results so much I went to a cosmetic dermatologist and asked if the same result could be achieved with threads. He insisted I need a lower facelift but I am hoping to put a facelift off till 50 or so. I’d rather do something less invasive right now
