For this reason, our content we have prepared contains all the details about the non-surgical facelift procedure. Here are all the curious things about non-surgical thread facelift procedure
What is Thread Facelift?
Thread facelift is an aesthetic procedure that allows the removal of sagging on the face without surgical interventions. This procedure is performed with the use of special threads that stretch the skin on the face. During the procedure, the skin is collected and stretched by stretching the threads placed under the skin. Thus, the face gains a younger and firmer appearance.
How is Thread Face Lift Performed?
Thread facelift is a short-term procedure and is usually performed under local anesthesia. Before the procedure, the areas where the threads will be placed are determined according to the regional needs on the face. Then, special threads are placed under the skin. Since the threads are placed under the skin, the incisions are quite small and leave no scars.
This method, which does not require surgery or any surgical intervention, is applied with surgical threads called sutures. The common point of sutures, which are available in various brands and types, is that they allow the soft tissues to be pulled up with small spines or cones on them.
A trocar (hole punch) is inserted into a small incision made in the scalp and a suture is sent to the off-center point of the face. The trocar is then removed and the suture is pulled out. Thus, the soft tissues above the suture are lifted up. Finally, after the soft tissues are lifted up, the suture is fixed to the first entry point.
Compared to surgical interventions, the procedure, which is shorter and more cost-effective than surgical interventions, remains valid for approximately 2 years. Compared to surgical aesthetic interventions, the patient recovers in a shorter time and returns to daily activities more quickly.
Thread facelift can be applied to different areas of the face. Threads are used in areas such as the jaw line, eyebrows, neck and under the eyes. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes and is painless.
Who Can Have Thread Facelift?
Thread facelift can be applied to anyone who is not suitable for surgical interventions or who is afraid of surgery. However, it is absolutely necessary to consult a specialist before the procedure. Thread facelift is suitable for people with mild or moderate sagging in the facial area.
How Should I Care After Thread Facelift?
After the thread facelift procedure, the patient can immediately return to his/her daily life. However, swelling and bruising may be seen in the face area for the first few days. This is normal and resolves spontaneously within a few days.
After a thread facelift, it is important to massage regularly to increase the elasticity of the skin on the face. It is also important to use sunscreen. To achieve long-lasting results after a thread facelift, it is necessary to adopt a regular skin care and healthy lifestyle.
