Face Lifting by Thread Lifting

A thread lift, also called a barbed suture lift, is a type of procedure where a specific type of sutures is used to produce a subtle but visible lift in the skin. It is a cosmetic procedure that improves, lifts, and sculpts the shape of your face or breasts.

Thread lifts use temporary medical-grade sutures to lift the skin.

Until recently, the only way to address problems related to facial sagging and loose skin was facelift surgery. Doctors used to think that once loose skin is found, only a scalpel can be used to adjust that.

It wasn’t until the 1990s when doctors thought that they could lift face skin without invading the skin. They thought of using threads, inserting them into the face and then pulling the skin up by tightening these threads.

Instead of removing the excess sagging skin surgically, the doctor suspends it with stitches. This way pulls the skin back slightly and thus tightens the skin of the face and the neck.

Thread lifts are shorter procedures than facelifts. They target the signs of ageing in the lower face. Although they can be done to address eyebrow and cheeks sagging, they originally work on the mid-face, neck area, and jowls.

Besides being ideal for lifting the skin of the face, thread lifts also play a role in fighting another way. They provoke a healing response and direct it to the treated area. This way, your body produces a large amount of collagen which plays a vital role in the ageing process.

Consult your doctor for the same.
