Thank-you for your questions. I counsel my patients that there is always a risk of bruising and/or swelling when a needle pierces the skin, such as during a threading procedure. However, in my experience, the amount of bruising and swelling is usually minimal. I often utilize a cannula (a very small, blunt-tipped tube) instead of sharp needles (which can traumatize tissues and injure blood vessels), in addition to other techniques to lessen the chances of bruising and swelling. Also keep in mind where on your body the threads are being inserted. For example, bruises can be challenging to conceal on your face, but most of the rest of your body can be hidden from view quite easily under your clothes. Fortunately, bruising and swelling eventually resolve with time. Like any procedure, you will have to weigh the pros and cons to decide if it's worth the cost.
Downtime for thread lift is usually 2-4 days depending on how many threads are used and how many areas of the face are involved. Also, very often it is done together with other procedures such as fat injections or others, in which case it could be longer.Best wishes,Victor Liu, MD
Thread lift can have zero down days for most of the time. Unfortunately though no one can guarantee that . There are multiple patient , equipment , and operator's factors that may play a role. Typically speaking more than 90% of patient's don't bruise. If a patient bruises then it can take few days till it disappears. Hope this helps !!
Hi, thereThread lift is considered a lunch time procedure. While there is sometimes bruising that usually shows up a day or two later there is usually not much swelling. It's difficult to answer your last question. It is absolutely worth the cost for the right candidate, but for some surgical lift might be a more appropriate.Good luck to you!Julia Giyaur, MDBrooklyn, NY
Both are very temporary solutions. Although some report improvement after threads that last a year others only report an improvement lasting 3 months. Jowls can sometimes be disguised by fillers by adding volume medial to the jowl.
Thank you for sharing your question. The best way to give volume and achieve a higher cheek bone is with fillers. There are several products on the market, so make sure you go to an experienced physician who can choose the best product for your face. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your question. Fillers and thread lifting can be performed at the same time. Make sure your treating physician in very experienced with this method of treating. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your question. Both products work for the tear troughs. I prefer fillers, because there is immediate improvement and results can be titrated as the area is filled. Make sure your treatment is performed by an experienced eyelid specialist for this delicate area. Good luck!
PDO Threadlifts are immediate and you will see improvement over 3-6 months. They are absorbable threads that will 100% dissolve over time. Lumps only appear if placed too superficial or the improper type is used. Threads may be removed or dissolved with a RF device (which...
Thank you for sharing your question. It is very unlikely that threading is the correct treatment for you. Being young with chubby cheeks would make you the least likely candidate for thread lifting. See and experienced oculofacial surgeon in person for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of...
