Is thread lifting dangerous? I am young and want thread lifting.

Question

A lot of doctors in Russia use thread lifting however it is not as practised in Europe and America, what are the reasons ? Do they have a bad reputation or side effects ? I am young and want to get thread lifting instead of a surgical lift due to being in my 20's and just wanting a more v shaped face. Thank you for your answers,

Threadlift with barb threads originated in Asia and are popularized in Asia . I would invite you to Asia to find the doctors most experienced in threadlifting for the ideal V shaped Asian female look. Important thing is to ask for before after photos . Threadlifts when done by the right hands are extremely efficacious and long lasting (ranging from 1-3 years depending on the material of the thread ) . Thread materials range from PDO (6-9 months ), Poly L Lactic Acid (1-1.5 years) and Polycaprolactone (2-2.5 years). A young person like you wanting a V face shouldn't need any surgery or other treatments other than a threadlift .

Thank you for your question. Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive procedure that is able to target the deeper layers of skin on a patient’s face and neck. This new target area makes the procedure stand out from existing procedures that only treat the surface or outer layers of the skin. The Silhouette InstaLift is a very simple procedure that takes only 30-45 minutes and provides amazing results. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Silhouette InstaLift is a non-invasive alternative to a traditional surgical facelift. It helps to address volume loss as well as skin laxity through not only instant lift of the skin, but also long-term collagen production. Specially formulated dissolvable sutures with bidirectional cones are used to mechanically fix deep tissue until collagen production ensures tissue fixation biologically. The entire procedure takes only 45 minutes and requires no incisions or anesthesia. Instead, lidocaine is injected locally to ensure patient comfort during the treatment.While cosmetic dermatologists have performed thread lifts previously, InstaLift provides a vast improvement thanks to the use of dissolvable threads and cones made up of a synthetic material called polylactic acid, which is also used in Sculptra. This material slowly disintegrates as the body creates scar tissues, which provides a natural lift for the face in their place. Through the use of bidirectional cones, the lifting caused by InstaLift can be more finely controlled. Combined, these advantages result in the long-lasting effects of InstaLift while avoiding the potential side effects once felt by patients who chose previous versions of thread lifting.

While thread lifting may have originated in other areas of the world, more and more American surgeons are beginning to offer thread lifting at their practices. At my practice in Beverly Hills, I perform many thread lifting procedures with beautiful results, including the Silhouette InstaLift and the NovaThread Lift. As one of the main providers of thread lifting in the area, these threads are made to not just rejuvenate the skin instantly, but also provide a long-lasting youthful appearance.

Thank you for asking the question.
Thread lift is extremely controversial. The modern-day absorbable P.D.O threads are a little controversial. Most surgeons in the United States of America believe that they don’t work at all. In our parts of the world, in India and Russia, they are being used a lot and photographic evidence of results is visible. However, the results are short-lift and not lasting over 4 to 6 months. So, it is better that you consult a plastic surgeon in your area and take his opinion regarding this.
