Am I a good candidate for a thread lift? (Photo)

Question

I (47yo F) have started to get quite pronunced loose skin around jowl area. Have previously had hifu and dermal fillers to lift but think i need something more effective. I do lift intense exercise 5 days per week that involves a lot of jumping, plyometrics running wtc such as HIIT, crossfit etc. Would the threads come loose or snap due to the intensity of my workouts?

Hello; As far as I can see on your face, there is loosening of the skin, slight sagging downwards on the cheeks; flattening in the under-eye, malar areas and platysmal bands on the neck. You will get the best and long-term solution; with Endoscopic Midface Lift. However, if you are not planning for a surgery in the short term; I recommend for that; you first have PLA (Sculptra, Lanluma) injections into the cheeks; for stimulating collagen, increasing for subcutaneous thickness and tightening the skin. Afterwards, your cheeks can be tightened with silicone-coated, permanent polyester hangers (such as Infinite Lift, Spring Thread). With this type of treatment; 1-3 years of recovery can be achieved. With absorbable hangers; the affect period; will not exceed for 3 months.
