All You Need to Know About Thread Lifts

What exactly is a “lunchtime facelift”? And why has it gained so much popularity of late?

Also known as a “weekend facelift” and professionally called Thread facelift in the cosmetology business, this type of surgery emerged to meet the needs of people who want to get cosmetic surgery – fast and cheap. A Thread facelift costs a lot less than your usual facelift and can be done in about an hour.

The Ins and Outs of Thread Lift Surgery

Who are the ideal candidates for thread lifts?

Well, the thread lift procedure is designed to correct minimal signs of aging such as a bit of sagging around the cheeks, the eye area and the neck. The ideal candidates for this are people from the ages of 35-45 who just need a minimal lift. Older people might need to undergo more thorough types of facelifts.

There are currently two types of thread facelifts being practiced in the United States: the Featherlift and the Contour Threadlift.

Thread lift recovery takes about a week. For the first few couple of days you might need assistance in going about and doing regular activities such as driving. You might also need to change your diet to softer food so as not to have a difficult time chewing. Your surgeon will also probably allow you to take Ibuprofen for the pain.

What are the risks of a thread facelift?

Since it is a fairly new procedure, it is still pretty much in its development stages. Thus, plastic surgeons have yet to quantify and analyze the reactions thread lifts may cause in a patient.
Some clients also complain that the results are hardly noticeable or that they experience a relapse after a few weeks of the surgery. However, most plastic surgeons believe that getting a good thread lift all depends on finding the right thread facelift surgeon. So, do your research.
