Considering Thread Lift But Wondering Why Its Received So Many Bad Reviews.

Question

I am considering to have a thread lift, but so far I don't see many good reviews from people who actually did. I wonder what is a major reason for that.

I doubt you will find a positive review on thread-lifts anywhere, because they simply don't work for longer than 6-8 weeks.  The thread-lift is/ was the ultimate price to result mismatch.

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

Threads must be precisely inserted to grab the correct amount of tissue for an adequate lift; multiple threads must be inserted as well. If performed properly a thread lift can provide a significant improvement. Although, not as long lasting as a corrective facelift.

While the Thread Lift (or Feather Lift) is conceptually a good idea, it is a procedure that will not produce satisfactory results on the vast majority of patients. I have seen good results in some patients, but for most people, the procedure simply cannot replicate the effects of surgery as it promised to do.

Thread facelifts, which have been dubbed the knifeless facelift, are a great way for you to be able to rejuvenate and tighten sagging and loose skin. A thread lift will allow you to have a more contoured, voluminous, and lifted face within a matter of weeks as the soft tissues are repositioned and the ensuing collagen production helps with skin rejuvenation. Thread lifting involves using small barbed sutures to lift and smooth your skin on almost any part of your face or body. The results are immediately noticeable, and continue to improve for the next few months. Discuss the side effects with your doctor.

The thread lift does not really work well at all.  It lasts a few  months usually and the threads are very expensive.

	It cannot compare to surgery or even Botox.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Simply said too costly for poor results. The threads or threading can not hold the weight of the lifted tissues for more than 6 months if that. Plus the cost of these specialized threads. Be careful out there.

Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

The Threadlift was an exciting new minimally invasive way to lift the facial tissues.  It failed as a result of its cost and relative ineffectiveness with results being very short lived.
