Will Removing Threads 4 Years Post Thread Lift Cause Jowl to Sag?

February 2, 2009
Asked By:lrsandmsh in pompano beach, florida

I am having a neck lift done and have had a Thread Lift for 4 years now. My doctor wants to remove the threads in the neck and jowl area while doing the Neck lift. However, he will not be doing a Face lift, only a Neck lift. Will my face drop in the jowl area if he does this? Usually, people who remove the threads get the Face lift. I don't need one right now and think it’s because of the Thread Lift. Help!
