I am considering having two threads placed on each side of my cheek bone to pull back up the fat pads which have slipped after several rounds of hyalse. I have also been advised that I would be a good candidate for Ultherapy as this would help strengthen my skin which is quite thin. I am 49. Please advise me which would be most effective? I am not quite ready for a face lift.

Answer: Threads vs. Ultherapy I understand your dilemma. It is hard to answer which one is better without an exam or photos. Threads are making a comeback after previously being taken off the market. They had a lot of problems and the new ones are suppose to be better. My take on threads whether they are the new or old ones is that they can make the face look better but odd if one animates the face. Also, the improvement did not last long. I have seen some initial results presented at a recent meeting with the threads and I was not impressed. Ultherapy has been around for awhile and we have seen good results. So, if you are not ready for a facelift then consider Ultherapy. Ultimately, see a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in facial rejuvenation and Ultherapy so that you can get the best advice.

Answer: Nonsurgical facelift options if you want to lift and tighten the cheek area and face overall, AND get some skin improvement/thickening, Ultherapy is the perfect choice. Threads can be nice but the problem is that their effects don't tend to last. I'm probably a little biased since we have Ultherapy in the office, but I also just feel it gives a nice natural subtle lift, whereas threads can look fake and they generally only pull in one direction
