Thread Lift
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. It involves the use of temporary, absorbable sutures to produce a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin. Instead of removing the patient's loose facial skin surgically, the cosmetic surgeon simply suspends it by stitching up portions of it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face.
The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few days. Thread lifts can also stimulate the body's healing response and cause the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. Collagen plays a vital role in the aging process, aiding in the improvement of skin elasticity and firmness over time.
