What is a Thread Face Lift ?

Suspension lifts such as Threadlifts, Contour lifts, Featherlift, Silhouette lift, are fairly ineffective and very short lasting.  Not the best value for the money spent.

A threadlift is a great way to reverse the effects of gravity over time on the cheeks.  As time goes by, the cheeks gradually fall to create a more sullen look.  The threadlift utilizes a small incision in the hairline to place long sutures that grab the cheek tissue and lift it back up.  This can be done under local anesthesia and the recovery is about 5 days.  It is important to have a specialist that performs a lot of them to know where exactly to place the threads.  But if done correctly it is a great way to lift sagging cheeks in a natural way.

The Threadlift invoved using permanet sutures (Thread) which were barbed and placed through the skin and fixated higher up on the Temple to pull loose facial skin in an upwatrd direction.

Some companies have stopped making the Threadlift "threads" because of common complications.

Many proponents of the Threadlift have reported failure or recurrent facial sagging after the procedure. In addition, complications such as deforming unequal pulling of the face have been reported.

This is a "blind" procedure in that the Threads are p[laced through the skin without direct visualization of important structures such as nerves and blood vessels which can be injured.
