A thread lift, also called a barbed suture lift, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to lift and sculpt the shape of your face or breasts. Thread lifts use temporary, medical-grade suture material to “stitch-up” your skin so that it’s drawn taut.
Those who can’t have a surgical facelift because of medical conditions that make general anesthesia risky may consider a thread lift as a safer alternative.
Targeted areas
Many people choose a thread lift for facial areas that droop or look less tight over time. These areas include jowls and jaw line, brow line, under-eye area, forehead, cheeks
Thread lifts are also using trusted sources to lift and tighten breasts, especially after pregnancy and weight loss.
Side effects
A thread lift is considered a low-risk procedure, but there are side effects and a risk of complications. After a thread lift, it’s common to experience the bruising, swelling, bleeding and slight pain at the site of the thread injection.
Recovery time
Light chemical peels do not require much down time while medium and deep chemical peels can require two to three weeks of recovery time. The procedures can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
