A month ago, I had a neck thread lift! Not happy.

Experience with tread lift like yours is not that infrequent. Unfortunately this is very limited procedure that has a transient effect in most patients. If you are unhappy with current result it would be in your beast interest to consider surgical neck, possibly lower face lift. It would be very easy to remove treads and proceed to a more permanent and controlled correction. You should consult an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with a good reputation in neck/face rejuvenation. Good luck.

Thank you for your question.You are in the early stages for most neck lift procedures, so you should continue to see improvement over time. Please keep in mind that you should wait until you are fully healed and recovered from your surgery to even consider a revision. I suggest that you discuss you recovery progress, expectations and process with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Unfortunately, your experience with a thread lift is not uncommon. Thread lifts may look good directly after the procedure, but aren't secure enough to prevent the face or neck from sagging again. It is important that you are fully healed from your thread lift insertion before going on to a neck lift. That means no soreness, redness, swelling or bruising. The threads can be removed when your neck lift is performed. I hope this helps.

"Thread lifts" are beginning to regain popularity because of the increased safety and more predictable results than in the past. That being said, they will never replace or achieve the results of a surgical face or neck lift.  To compare a thread lift to a true neck lift of any kind would be unfair to patients and both procedures. Although patients may get excited to hear its done under local anesthesia,  those who have become part of my practice know that I perform all of my facial plastic surgeries (including facelifts) under local anesthesia as well, which creates a level playing field when it comes to that part of it.  In the right patients, I have found that the results are worth the time, effort and resources. Thread lift procedures are a minimally invasive way of tightening the skin of the face or neck.
The only way to know for sure what your best treatment options are and get an unbiased opinion will be to see a board certified facial plastic surgeon who performs a wide variety of neck tightening procedures (surgical and nonsurgical).  If there is excess skin and/or fat, then you are correct that this will likely need a surgical procedure. Nonsurgical treatments are focused on repairing skin and building up it's collagen (tightness). These include radio-frequency, ultrasound, and laser.  If you decide to start with surgery, it's important to understand that surgery will allow for tightening of muscles and removal of excess skin. However, the "age" of the remaining skin (i.e. collagen quality) is unchanged. What I find is that sometimes combining approaches can be necessary to achieve the goal. It's not too early to be evaluated as to whether or not a neck lift will be helpful in your case.  Swelling from thread lifts is minimal and should be completely resolved by this point. 

Threat lift "neck lift" is never going to give the excellent results that a neck lift does. In an aging neck, the muscle becomes loose, there is excess of fat and redundant skin. Thread lift by just pulling the skin, just camouflages the aging process. In the other hand, neck lift plastic surgery by removing and tightening the loose neck muscle, removing the excess of neck fat with liposuction and redrawing the neck skin and excising the redundancy does deliver a rejuvenated neck. Patients interested in full neck rejuvenation  should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face and neck 

A face and/or neck lift may be possible at this point.  You would require an evaluation to assess how the healing from your prior procedure has progressed, and to determine which approach would be best to address your concerns.  During the surgery the "threads" can be removed if needed.  Best regards.

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with thread lifts.  In some way, shape, or form, they have been around for around a decade with mixed results.  There are a few patients who are good candidates for them - managing the expectations in these cases is of utmost importance, I find.  As far as being a candidate for a face/neck lift, you certainly may be, depending on what threads where used, etc.  Different products have different properties that have them dissolve sooner or later. If, by some chance, permanent threads were used, these can be removed during the procedure.  You certainly lose nothing by going on a few consultations or speaking with a few different surgeons while things get settled and prepared for your procedure.  The honest truth is that it is of utmost importance to make sure your doc understands the vision that you have for yourself, and that you are both on the same page.  I hope some of this helps.  Best of luck.

Dear Patient: thanks for your question.  I can't see any photos, but I will answer this question, since its a straightforward answer.  I have performed hundreds of Facelifts and Neck Lifts and in my opinion you would benefit more from a Facelift or Neck Lift far more than a Thread Lift procedure.  You can have the threads removed when the Board Plastic Surgeon is performing your Face or Neck Lift or a combination of  both.

I really do not feel these techniques give long and lasting results.They are short term.I would wait for the sweeling and edema to go down and consider a full face and/or necklift.

Neck Thread Lifts are limited to results. Either the surgeon did not preform well. Or you were not a candidate or both. Best to seek in person opinions.
