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 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.
