What you need to know about thread lifts

Until recently, the only way to solve problems was to skin laxity - such as the jaws and droopy cheeks- by face lift. After all, while skin rejuvenation treatments can help restore a certain level of firmness, if loose skin is present, only the scalp can actually remove it.

However, although reliance on injectable compounds and skin conditioning approaches until facelift surgery becomes a necessary measure for many patients, not everyone is ready or able to perform the operation. If you belong to this group, you will be happy to know that a new type of procedure has been developed to fill the gap between non-invasive facial rejuvenation and facelift. Surgery - Thread Lift.

What is a Thread Lift?

Thread Lift is a type of technique that uses temporary stitches to create a soft but visible "lift" in the skin. Instead of patients who remove the loose facial skin surgically, the cosmetic surgeon suspends it simply by stitching parts of it. It pulls on the skin and lifts, and therefore strengthens the face. In addition to being good for lifting the skin, toxins fight aging in other ways: by questioning the body's healing response and allowing the body to direct multiple waves of collagen to areas. This is important because collagen plays an important role in the aging process.

Collagen helps support the "growth factor" that significantly affects the condition of our skin. In addition to being used to heal wounds, collagen helps keep our skin strong, large and soft. As we age, our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen, leading to an 80% reduction in skin thickness at age 70. This loss of volume and strength is huge, causing too much skin and wrinkles. If the skin weaker, it cannot support the tissues beneath it enough, which means that gravity pulls it down and stretches it. Infusing the facial skin with fresh collagen, while the signs of skin sagging are still mild, can help reduce slackness (thickening and hydration of the skin) and prevent it from getting worse (firming the skin).

What are the advantages of having a thread lift instead of a Facelift?

For many patients, the biggest advantage of thread lift over facelift is the greater reduction in recovery time associated with thread lifting. If the patient has facelift surgery, he should be heavily sedated; therefore, the patient must ensure that someone takes him home from the hospital. Most facelift patients also need the help of a caregiver every hour for at least three days after surgery. In addition, if the patient has children at home, childcare assistance may also be required. Facelift patients usually also need a break of one to two weeks to recover.

On the other hand, repairing a wire elevator is relatively easy. Thread lifts can be performed under local, instead of general anesthesia, which means that patients with a thread lift can ride on their own and take care of themselves immediately after the procedure. While some patients experience mild pain, redness and swelling after removing the poison and therefore want to rest all day, most can return to work immediately. Intensive pain medications are rarely needed after increasing the dose, making it easier for patients to return to their normal routine. That this approach is ideal for people who have children at home or for those who have a busy, difficult career.
