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!
Answer: Removing the threads will not cause the face to drop. After several months the threads which repositioned the jowls and deeper structures have done their job. Scar tissue has secured these structures in their new position and are not needed any more.

Answer: Thread lift longevity It is difficult to know for sure but usually thread lift longevity is not more than 2 years. The reason why is the tissue that the threads suspend weakens or the threads pull through. Removing these threads at this point will USUALLY not cause significant changes in the way you look.

Answer: Removing threads I am not a plastic surgeon but as a cosmetic dermatologist knowledgable in facial anatomy and skin biology, I am not surprised that your physician wants to remove the threads that would interfere with your planned surgical procedure. Remember that a surgical neck lift will reorient that skin -- your prior threads which were hidden, could easily become visible. In addition, as foreign bodies in the new surgical site you could be a set up for a new inflammatory reaction or infection.Discuss your concerns with your physician. Confirm the reasons for the planned removal. Ask if he is removing all of your threads or just the ones in the lower face and neck. Either he or his staff should be able to answer your questions.I hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
