Finally Loosing the 'Old' Face! - Norwood, South Australia
ORIGINAL POST
Hi everyone, Yesterday i bit the bullet and went...
WORTH IT$8,800
Hi everyone, Yesterday i bit the bullet and went and saw a surgeon to see if i was a candidate for the Thread Lift Plus. This is where they use threads but also suture the neck muscles together and remove the excess skin :) Over the past 10 years i have watched my face begin to disolve on a daily (it seems) basis. I am now 57 and it is now or never. The surgeon was great giving me so much information on the procedure and answering any concerns either myself or husband had concerning the surgery. I am going to be awake but quite (drunk) doped up for the 4 hour operation. I am so excited i just want to shout it from the rooftops that i am living my dream of loosing the droop!! Only 3 weeks to go and i will go under the knife, i will do daily posts to let you all know how i proceed through the recovery. I do have some 'before' pictures which i will put up as soon as i work out how :)

Feeling very excited and beginning to share my decision with family and friends. The response so far is all positive and supportive. I am hoping to loose the last few pounds of weight before the scheduled date being the 21st October. After being quite ill my doctor suggested I go on an Auto Immune Protocol diet to ease my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spinal Stenosis symptoms. This is a result of an accident in 1983 whereby I fractured my back. The up side to this is the 12 kilo weight loss the down side being the loose skin on my neck and face becoming more prominent. I feel so much better and have great energy levels now with a body I am proud of but a face that looks so much older than the rest of me. Hopefully in a few months time I'll have the face that matches the body :)

You have great bone structure and I can tell you're really excited to look more youthful! How come you decided to go with a thread lift rather than a traditional facelift?
Please keep us posted!

I am questioning my procedure now! I decided on the Thread Lift Plus as the surgeon informed me the procedure was essentially a lower facelift whereby the skin was lifted, pulled and excess cut and sewn all the way around the ear and into the hairline. A small incision is made under the chin and a Platysma Plication is performed. Do you feel I have made the wrong decision??? Thankyou so much for your kind and caring comments.

I don't want to steer you away from something you are excited about, but do read the reviews and take a look at the Worth It Rating.

I have read through the reviews but can't find the procedure I'm having, would you kindly point me in the right direction in way of a link please? I so appreciate your help and concern in making a final decision x

In Asia, a popular one is 4D suture lift, from what I gathered is the suture used for heart surgery with super fine needle as the one used for acupuncture, basically each surure is shot under the dermis, which provides 2 main functionalities: 1 to stimulate and promote collagen growth 2. To lift and creating V shape contour which is the golden standard of most desired face shape. The procedure is popular and prevailing in Taiwan and Korea. Hope this helps.

Thank you for this thorough post! I recently become interested in thread lifts. I must say you look amazing, easily took 15 years off! I really amazed how breezy was your healing process. I get bigger bruises after botox injections:)

i have had a few concern issues raised by friends re: having threads. However contacting my surgeon with my worries he reassured me he will be using sutures under the skin to tighten the muscles then pulling and cutting the excess skin around and behind my ear. He is also performing a Platysma incision in my neck area to tighten the muscles. I am feeling more confident in my choice now and have been told I am having a lower facelift and neck lift. ????
