Which is the best and what lasts the longest, an endotine mid face lift or a thread lift?
Answer: Mid Face lifts Both of these lift techniques rely on something to hold the mid face in place. The idea is that after mobilization of the soft tissue the holding agent dissolves with the endotine technique and the tissue has healed in it’s new position. With a thread lift, the tissue is not mobilized and the threads actually hold the tissue in it’s new position by being barbed. The downside of the thread lift is that the threads may mobilize to the surface and “cheesewire” through to the skin creating a problem. A different kind of lift is a “Sasaki” mid face lift where Goretex threads and pledgets are used to lift the mid face in to a better position with no chance of working their way to the surface. In addition this can be done under local anesthesia and it has a lasting effect. It is the technique I favor

Answer: The difference between an endotine mid-facelift and a thread lift Both the endotine mid-facelift and thread lift will give modest improvements for only a short period of time. We have found in our practice that both of these lifts only give short term results and we do not perform either of them. There are many facelifts that you can consider that will give you far better and longer lasting results.

Answer: Endotine or thread lift I actually don't think either procedure is any good. Most surgeons gave up thread lifts years ago. The endotine in and of itself is not so great either. A properly done conventional facelift is a better option. It's tried and true. You just need to find the right surgeon.

Answer: Whats the difference between a endotine mid face lift and a thread lift? They are both equally bad-I think the threads have been taken off the market. The endotines are small implantable hooks used to hold the tissue up. There have been problems with the resorption rate of the endotines and some have caused palpable bumps. The threads fail frequently.See a board certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and very experienced in facelift surgery.

Answer: Facelift candidate In our practice, we do not perform a midface lift or use an endotine device or thread lifts. When patients are ready, a comprehensive face/neck lift accomplishes tightening loose facial/neck skin and muscles, tightening the jowls and removing fatty deposits in the neck. For many examples, please see the link below
