I've had multiple procedures (thread lifts), but the results are so short-lived - it's frustrating! The scar tissue created under the skin has had the affect of 'propping' my skin up; however, I appreciate that thread lifts cannot address the SMAS layer & any fat that has travelled down. If I don't have much excess skin to trim, but would like a lift of the SMAS layer & fat, am I still a good candidate for a facelift?

Answer: Thread lift results while I do think there is a role for thread lifts in some patients, it is very limited and the results are subtle and short lived. Fortunately, the results with face lifting are very reliable and often dramatic, in a good way. Results often last years and the recovery may not be as difficult as most people think. Previous thread lifting does not get in the way of a facelift

Answer: Thread face lifts The major problem with thread facelifts is that the threads are at different and varied levels in your facial soft tissues and this has caused scarring at these different levels. This could easily mean that the facial nerves are incorporated in the scar tissue and any open facelift surgery could actually injure these nerves. I'm surprised that thread facelifts are being performed by any honest surgeon. If you are going to have actual surgery on your face, you need to be sure they have a lot of experience in facial surgery.
