A thread lift is a cutting-edge procedure that gives the appearance of more youth without requiring invasive surgery. To raise the face, a thread is put into the skin, tightened, and then adjusted into the desired position. The patient’s skin texture and appearance are improved as the threads stay in place until they dissolve on their own. Additionally, the therapy promotes the creation of collagen, which results in tighter, firmer skin. Thread lifting can increase collagen levels because the human body produces less of it as we age.

Several typical facial aging symptoms can be treated using thread lifts, including the drooping cheeks, wrinkles, forehead, the jawline’s drooping skin, lines, and wrinkles surrounding the mouth.

The two most widely used methods for thread lift areCat/fox eye lift and Ponytail. The first one gives the eyes a beautiful upward tilt by concentrating on the creases on the upper eyelids. Just like a ponytail, the second one might provide the appearance of powerful revitalization by lifting upper face.

A surgical lift

This procedure in invasive when compared to thread lift. Surgery frequently requires multiple incisions, but threading does not.Depending on the locations being treated, a surgeon may make several skin incisions, such as below the chin, around the ears, or along the hairline. After improving the underlying area by realigning tissues and fat, they will lift the skin to give it a tighter, smoother look.

How is thread lifts performed?

To reduce discomfort during thread lifting for V-shaped face (ร้อยไหมหน้าเรียว, this is the term in the Thai), a local anesthetic is administered to the targeted locations. Threads are inserted beneath the skin’s surface using a needle or cannula. To meet the specific objectives of each patient, the thread is pulled and the tissues are raised into the proper position. Carefully clipping the ends of the threads allows them to remain in place and maintain the tissues’ elevation. The entrance and exit areas are treated with antibiotic ointment.

How does surgery lift the skin?

Several steps are included in a surgical facelift. The purpose of anesthesia is to reduce pain. Depending on the patient and the amount of labor required, this could be either local or general. To keep scaring discrete, an incision is performed as gently as possible. Fat is either eliminated or redistributed to achieve the desired result. Tissues are also adjusted to create appearance of tighter skin. It is possible to eliminate extra skin. The skin is carefully adjusted before every incision is sealed with stitches that will eventually dissolve or be taken out. Sometimes skin glue might be used in its place.

What is the duration of the treatment?

Though it can vary, thread lifting typically takes an hour or so. The kind of lift and the particular requirements of the patient will determine this. After the professional has spoken with you about the procedure and your objectives, they will be able to provide you with a precise time limit during your appointment.

Lifting through surgery undoubtedly take more time than thread lifting. The amount of modification ultimately decides the amount of time the procedure will take. Longer treatments can take up to six hours to perform, while shorter ones might be finished in about two.
