A cosmetic technique called a thread lift provides a less invasive option to facelift surgery. By putting medical-grade thread material into your face and then pushing your skin up by tightening the thread, thread lifts claim to tighten your skin. It seeks to lift and sculpt the form of your face or breasts and is also known as a barbed suture lift. With thread lifts, your skin is temporarily "stitched up" with medical-grade suture material to be pulled taut. Although thread lifts have been in use since the 1990sTrusted Source, their popularity has grown recently as a result of advancements in the material used to make them. The typical thread lift candidate is between the ages of 30 and 50. The effects of a thread lift are not intended to be long-lasting. Threads will eventually be absorbed by the tissue under your skin, just like other dissolvable dermal fillers like Botox. You are advised to forgo your daily moisturiser for the first two weeks following your treatment, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Although a thread lift is a low-risk operation with a quick recovery, there are still some negative effects. It is important to consult the surgeon who performed the treatment again if you are worried about problems. Some people discover that their face's appearance following therapy is different from what they anticipated. Always select a licenced, qualified surgeon to do the procedure, and be sure to discuss your expectations with your physician before beginning this treatment.
