Thank you for your question and photo. Based on this limited view photo, you have a lot of loose skin, thick skin and loss of subcutaneous volume. A thread lift will not fix these for you. You are not a candidate for a thread lift. You would do better with a facelift/necklift and fat grafts to the face, and in the long run it will be more cost effective and longer lasting. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
In general, thread lifts have limited effects for multiple reasons and provide minimal results even in younger age patients.

This way the patient knows what to expect and if this is the right treatment for them!

Actually thread lifts are very commonly done in the San Francisco Bay Area. First, I have to clarify that thread lift for the nose is in fact not a lift but act as fillers. Using PDO threads as fillers is far superior to using liquid fillers (such as juvederm) The reasons are: 1. PDO...
If Botox lasted for six months, that is quite a long time. Usually it lasts 3-5 months for most people. I do think you are too young for a thread lift at 18. In fact you are too young for Botox also. The best advice for you is to limit sun exposure since this will serve you best in the long run....
