What Is A Thread Lift Plus?
Lifting with Threads is a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking results. This technique allows the doctor to produce a relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. Thread Lift Plus does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, less invasive surgical approach to achieving facelift-like results. Excessive skin is removed leaving a fine scar in front and behind the ear.
How Is A Thread Lift Performed?
A Thread Lift Plus utilises very small surgical sutures (Polypropylene) to lift and support the droopy areas of the brow, cheeks, face and neck. Threads are inserted in precise locations and tied to provide the lift. Excess skin is removed from in front of the ear and behind the ear.
How Does A Thread Lift Differ From A Facelift?
Thread Lift Plus requires less surgery. It is less invasive, takes less time to recover and involves less cost.
Does It Hurt?
You will be given a local anaesthetic to have the procedure and some light sedation so there’s no discomfort during a Thread Lift Plus. Post-procedure, the pain and discomfort varies from patient to patient (usually depends on how many regions you have elevated). For some patients the pain is minimal and in others the pain is more. Most patients will need to take Paracetamol at the least for a few days and Paradex or Paracetamol with codeine (Panadeine Forte) might be required for others.
Is It Safe?
When performed by a trained doctor, this procedure is very safe. The risks and complications are uncommon and usually easily correctable. The actual sutures are made from polypropylene, which is a material that has been used in brain, heart and abdominal surgery for many years. In the rare event of a complication, the sutures can be removed or repositioned as needed. Since a Thread Lift Plus is performed under local anaesthesia, there are none of the risks associated with general anaesthesia.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Usually only one procedure is needed to achieve the desired lifting effect. With the passing of time, some looseness will return as in traditional face lifts.
When Can I Return To Work And Activities?
Depending upon your workplace and tolerance for some minor bruising, swelling and possible dimpling you should be able to return to work in 10-14 days following the procedure. It is very important to discuss this with your doctor, who will have a better idea based on your skin type and extent of the procedure you had done and how physical it is at work.
Are The Threads Permanent?
Threads are non-absorbable, and they will not dissolve over time.
Areas That Can Be Treated Using Thread Lift Plus
Threads are usded to lift drooping soft tissue of:
- Mid face
- Neck
- Forehead and eyebrows
- Any combination thereof
What Type Of Results Will I See From A Thread Lift?
The effects are immediate. During the time of your consultation your doctor will demonstrate in the mirror the relative amount of lift that the Thread Lift Plus can achieve. The procedure can also be combined with other techniques including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat transfer, dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, and liposuction of the neck. It takes up to 3 weeks for the whole effect to settle and see the final result.
Will I Still Be Able To Have A Conventional Facelift Or A Browlift At Another Time?
Yes, developed by a board certified plastic surgeon, the Thread Lift Plus procedure allows later lifting of any type.
