Can I get a neck lift after having a thread lift with non dissolving threads?

Question

I had a thread lift using spring threads that have not worked at all and my neck actually looks worse. Will this be an obstacle to neck lift? I m meeting surgeon next week and feeling anxious the thread will cause a problem

Richard G. Schwartz, MD · Answer

A standard necklift can be safely performed after someone has a thread lift.  Depending on the situation and type of threads, they might need to be removed from their location.  Nevertheless, your surgeon should be able to perform the appropriate techniques to adjust the various skin, muscle, and fat layers to create a more youthful, natural looking neck.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

See an expert for a formal evaluation and to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately, you are one of many patients with similar experience after tread lift. neck step should be more appropriate neck or lower face/neck lift which is the only way to remove treads and create result that you need. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation and face lifts, is recommended. Good luck.

It shouldn’t be a problem at all for most surgeons. Don’t be anxious and tell your surgeon and I’m sure everything will be fine.

Only if using an experience surgeon. I have done many cases of failed threading without issues. But you did not post photos! Fees for open neck lift, with removal of these type of threads from $12,000-$25,000. Best to virtual consul with...
