Thread lift after skin only facelift?

Question

Can I get a thread lift (threads that go to my nasal folds and lift my lower face and cheeks) after a skin only cheek and lower mini face lift. I really want to maintain and enhance my result because the lift is very subtle. How long do I have wait after the face lifting to have it done?

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A mini facelift, or a skin only facelift, would be a very poor choice, because all of the tension is now placed on only the skin, which will give poor/visible scars. It's very important to tighten the muscles underneath the skin, and not put in any tension on the skin itself when performing a lower face and neck lift procedure. Thread lifts have minimal to no benefit.
