What is a Threadlift?
A threadlift, or suture lift, procedure is an anti-aging procedure where special absorbable and invisible threads are used to augment the features of the face and hold the skin and facial tissue in place. The threadlift procedure is long lasting compared to anti-aging injectables. The procedure augments drooping eyebrows, sunken cheeks and sagging jowls and necks. It takes about two or three hours to carry out. Threadlift results last for about two years.
How is a Threadlift performed?
Sterile thin needles with absorbable, fine barbed thread dipped in stem cell liquid are inserted under the skin of the area to be treated. They are pulled out together leaving the thread inside the skin. Collagen is stimulated when the needles are pulled out and this augments skin tone. The thread is slowly absorbed by the skin.
Are Threadlifts painful?
Threadlifts are performed after administering local anaesthesia. Patients will feel no pain during a threadlift procedure.
When can I travel by air after a Threadlift procedure?
Patients should not travel by air for two weeks after the threadlift procedure. They should consult their doctor and get certified as fit to travel before embarking on their journey.
How long does recovery take after a Threadlift procedure?
Patients take one to two weeks to completely recover from a threadlift procedure.
What aftercare is required after a Threadlift procedure?
Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. Patients should eat soft food for at least two weeks. Patients should keep their head elevated while sleeping for two weeks and keep their feet elevated while sitting. They should not talk or move their face for at least a day. They should avoid putting on makeup for at least three days. They should avoid strenuous exercises and lifting heavy objects for at least a month.
