Thread Face Lift (Thread Lift Method): Non-Surgical Face Lift and Skin Tightening

Thread face lift or thread lift method is a minimally invasive face lift procedure that does not require surgical intervention. This treatment is applied to eliminate sagging on the face, tighten and rejuvenate the skin by placing special threads into the lower layers of the skin. Thread face lift defines facial contours, tightens the skin and provides a younger appearance. Adana Dermatology Specialist Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü offers effective and natural facelift solutions to her patients without resorting to surgery with thread facelift treatment.

In this article, you can find information about how thread facelift treatment is applied, in which cases it is preferred, and what to consider after the procedure.

What is Thread Facelift and How Does It Work?

Thread facelift is a facelift procedure performed by placing thin and biocompatible threads specially designed to reshape facial features by tightening sagging skin tissue under the skin. These threads are placed in the lower layers of the skin and pull the skin upwards, tightening sagging on the face. Over time, the threads are absorbed by the body, stimulating the skin's natural collagen production and increasing skin elasticity. As a result, the skin looks tighter, younger and fresher.

How Does Thread Face Lift Work?

• Provides instant skin tightening: Threads are placed under the skin, pulling the skin upwards, highlighting the facial features and providing an instant tightening effect.
• Stimulates collagen production: The thread lift method supports the skin's natural tightening and rejuvenation process by triggering collagen production in the lower layers of the skin.
• It is a non-surgical and minimally invasive method: It is a method that can be applied in a short time without requiring surgery and has a very fast recovery time.

In Which Cases Is Thread Face Lift Preferred?

Thread face lift treatment is an ideal method for people who want to alleviate the signs of aging on the skin and tighten sagging. The main cases where thread face lift treatment is preferred are listed below:

1. Sagging on the Face

Sagging that occurs over time due to the effect of gravity on the face is corrected with the thread face lift method. This procedure tightens sagging in the cheek, jawline, forehead and neck area and highlights the facial features.

2. Sagging in the Chin and Neck Area

Skin sagging in the jawline and neck area are the areas where signs of aging are most visible. Thread facelift corrects the sagging and loosening in these areas, making the skin look tighter.

3. Eyebrow and Forehead Lift

Low eyebrows can make the facial expression look tired and old. Eyebrow lift can be performed with the thread facelift method, thus giving the eyebrows and forehead a younger appearance.

4. Eye Contour and Nasolabial Lines

Thread facelift reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and nasolabial lines (from the edge of the nose to the corner of the lip), providing a more youthful facial expression.

5. Defining Facial Contours

Facial contours that lose their definition over time are reshaped with the thread lift method. This procedure highlights the jawline and makes the facial features look clearer.

How is Thread Facelift Applied?

Thread facelift is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a specialist dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Uzm. Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü aims to achieve natural and aesthetic results by creating a personalized treatment plan according to the skin structure and needs of her patients. The procedure is usually applied in the following steps:

1. Evaluation and Planning

Before the treatment, the patient's skin structure and sagging condition are evaluated in detail. It is determined which areas the threads will be placed in and how much the skin will be stretched. The treatment plan is personalized according to the patient's expectations and skin structure.

2. Placement of Threads

During a thread facelift, thin, biologically compatible threads are placed under the skin. The threads lift the skin, tighten the facial features and provide an immediate tightening effect on the skin. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes 30-60 minutes. The threads are absorbed by the body over time and stimulate the skin's natural collagen production, providing long-term tightening.

3. Recovery Process and Results

After a thread facelift, mild swelling and redness may occur on the skin, but these effects usually disappear within a few days. The patient can return to daily activities immediately after a thread facelift. After the procedure, the skin will immediately feel tight and lifted, but the final results will only appear within a few months as the threads are absorbed by the body.

What to Consider After Thread Facelift?

After the thread facelift procedure, some care recommendations should be followed to ensure that the skin heals quickly and the best results are achieved. Uzm. Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü lists the points to be considered after the procedure as follows:

• Do not rub your face hard: Avoid applying pressure to the facial area in the first few days and clean the skin gently.
• Do not strain your facial muscles too much: You can help the threads settle by avoiding excessive facial movements.
• Keep your head upright: Supporting your head with a high pillow and keeping your head upright while sleeping helps reduce swelling.
• Avoid extreme heat and cold: It is recommended that you avoid extremely hot showers, saunas and steam baths in the first few days.
• Pay attention to your skin care: Protect your skin by regularly using moisturizers and sunscreen products recommended by your doctor.

How Many Sessions Does Thread Face Lift Take?

A thread face lift is usually a procedure completed in a single session. However, in some cases, a second session may be required to achieve more comprehensive results. With the effect of the threads and increased collagen production after the procedure, the results become more visible over time. The results obtained last for 1-2 years depending on the person's age, skin structure and lifestyle. If necessary, the results can be renewed by repeating the procedure.

What are the advantages of Thread Face Lift Treatment?

• Provides a non-surgical face lift: Thread face lift tightens and rejuvenates the face without requiring surgical intervention.
• Provides fast results: Immediate tightening and tightening effect is noticeable after the procedure.
• Natural-looking results are obtained: Thread lift method naturally highlights the facial features and does not create an exaggerated appearance.
• Long-lasting effect: As the threads are absorbed by the body, collagen production increases and the results lasts for a long time.
• Fast recovery time: The recovery period after the procedure is short and the patient can immediately return to their daily life.
• Suitable for all age groups: It can be safely applied to people of all age groups who have complaints of sagging and loosening of the skin.

Who is Thread Face Lift Suitable For?

Thread face lift is an ideal method for people who have sagging and loosening on their face but do not want surgical intervention. Especially people who want to define their facial contours, lift their eyebrows, and eliminate sagging in the chin and neck area can benefit from this treatment. However, people with health problems such as serious skin infections or allergic reactions should make an evaluation with their doctors before treatment.
