Small cones or barbs on the threads hold the tissue in a slightly lifted position, and as the threads gradually dissolve they may encourage the skin to produce new collagen. A full face thread lift can treat the cheeks, jowls and jawline together, while smaller treatments can focus on the brow, lower face or neck. It is often described as a non-surgical face lift, but it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift where sagging is advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it may suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults with early to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls or jawline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who want a subtle lift without surgery or a long recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatients who have lost some definition along the jawline and want better facial balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and do not have active skin infection in the area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Causes and Types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural ageing: collagen and elastin decline from the late 30s onwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of facial fat and bone support, which lets skin descend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun exposure, smoking and significant weight change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenetics and skin type, which affect how early sagging appears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the treatment is done\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Nuwan first assesses your face at rest and when you move, and explains whether threads, fillers, skin tightening or a combination is most suitable. On the day, the skin is cleansed and numbed with local anaesthetic. The threads are inserted through tiny entry points using a fine cannula or needle, positioned along planned vectors and gently adjusted to lift the tissue. The procedure usually takes 45 to 60 minutes and you go home the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDowntime and recovery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwelling, tenderness and mild bruising are common for 3 to 10 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome tightness or small skin irregularities may be felt at first and usually settle within 1 to 2 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost people return to office work within a few days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRisks and aftercare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossible side effects include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, dimpling or puckering, a thread becoming visible or felt under the skin, infection and, rarely, nerve irritation.

The lift is immediate but modest, and the skin may continue to improve over a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a thread lift painful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal anaesthetic is used, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a thread lift last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults commonly last around 12 to 18 months, depending on the thread type, your skin and lifestyle. Repeat treatment can be planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan thread lifting help early facial sagging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is best suited to early or moderate sagging.
