Are thread lifts safe for patients with autoimmune issues?

Thread lifts can be a potential option for improving sagging skin, including jowls and crow's feet, but given your history of autoimmune issues, it's important to approach this cautiously. While thread lifts are minimally invasive, an autoimmune condition like yours, particularly involving the thyroid and autonomic nervous system, might increase the risk of complications such as delayed healing, inflammation, or infection. The immune system’s altered function can sometimes react unpredictably to foreign materials like threads.
Before this procedure, I recommend you consult with a specialist familiar with your specific autoimmune condition. They may suggest doing a patch test or starting with small, low-risk areas to gauge your body’s reaction. While a thread lift might give you a temporary sense of how much lift you'd want, it's not an exact "dress rehearsal" for a facelift because the mechanisms and longevity differ.
