Facial line assessment before a thread lift application

Thread Lift
Applications

A non-surgical facelift with special medical threads; tightening and a lifting effect in the facial tissues for a younger facial line.

About Thread Lift Applications

Thread lift applications are one of the non-surgical facelift methods. Using special medical threads, the aim is to create tightening and a lifting effect in the facial tissues.

With aging, facial tissues sag downward under the effect of gravity, and the facial oval loses its definition. In thread lift applications, the absorbable threads placed under the skin gently lift the tissues, aiming for both a mechanical lift and, over time, collagen support.

For delicate tightening in the brow and eye area, an assessment by a physician familiar with the anatomy around the eyes is important. For application specific to the eye area, you can review our Thread Lift Eye-Area Aesthetics page.

Which Areas Are Targeted with Thread Lift?

With thread lift applications, tightening can be targeted in different areas of the face:

  • Lifting the facial oval: Making the sagging-prone facial line more defined.
  • Brow lift: Gently raising a low-looking brow area.
  • Cheek lifting: Supporting the descended cheek tissues.
  • Jowl area support: Lifting support in the under-chin area.
  • A younger facial line: Giving the facial features a fresher, more lifted appearance.

Suitable candidate selection and realistic expectations are among the most important determinants of satisfaction in thread lift applications.

The Thread Lift Application Process

A thread lift application is carried out as a planned, short procedure:

  • Assessment and planning: The degree of tissue sagging is assessed, and the thread type and application areas are planned.
  • Local anesthesia: The application area is numbed with local anesthesia for comfort.
  • Placement of threads: Absorbable medical threads are placed under the skin with the help of fine cannulas, and the tissues are gently lifted.
  • Lifting and collagen effect: As the threads gradually dissolve, collagen production in the area is aimed to be supported.

Return to daily life after the procedure is usually fast; the recovery process is short compared with major surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

The duration varies by the thread type used, the condition of the tissue and the person; an effect is generally observed over a period measured in months. The collagen support formed as the threads dissolve can help maintain results for some additional time.
Return to daily life is usually fast. In the first days there may be mild swelling, tenderness or a feeling of tightness; these subside quickly. Avoiding excessive facial movements and massage in the early period is recommended.
A thread lift offers a non-surgical alternative in mild-to-moderate sagging; however, in advanced sagging it may not give as pronounced a result as surgical methods. The suitable method is evaluated according to the condition of the facial tissues.
The commonly used medical threads are absorbable and are gradually absorbed by the body over time. During this process, collagen production in the area is aimed to be supported.
Because the application is performed under local anesthesia, pain during the procedure is usually minimal. There may be mild tenderness afterwards, which is managed with simple measures.
It may not be suitable for people with severe skin sagging, an active skin infection or certain health conditions. Suitability is determined after a detailed assessment.
