Forehead Thread Face Lift

About Thread Lift

Thread Face Lift is one of the non-surgical face lift applications to remove the early signs of aging and make you look younger. It has emerged as a result of blending advanced technology with aesthetics and is a method that has been successfully applied for years.

What is Thread Face Lift?

Thread lift is an application developed to remove the early signs of aging. Thread face suspension does not require surgical operation, it can be defined as a skin stretching method performed by suspending sagging areas using awn threads.

This method, which has been widely used all over the world in recent years, can be applied in various areas of the face, neck, and body. Thread suspension is an easy and safe method that is often preferred for the correction of cheek and chin appearance with a drooping appearance.

How is Thread Lift Applied?

General anesthesia is not required in the thread face suspension application, it is performed with local anesthesia. The areas to be treated (sagging areas on the face) are determined and marked. The marked areas are anesthetized. The threads to be suspended under the skin are placed in these areas with the help of thin needles. Then, considering the level of sagging, the threads are stretched as much as necessary, and the face is brought to its final state. In this way, there is no trace of sagging, and a rejuvenated appearance is given to the face.

What are the Application Stages?

First, a preliminary analysis is made for the structure of the skin and underlying supporting tissues. After the markings are made, the entry and exit areas of the ropes are anesthetized with local anesthesia. After the necessary sterilization conditions are met, the threads are placed in the targeted areas under the skin with the help of needles. Then, the person to whom the application is made is seated upright and the necessary lifting process is performed on the face. If there is asymmetry, it is corrected, and the face is cleaned by removing the excess threads and the entry-exit points are closed with tape.

Application Areas of Treatment

• Muscles,
• Cheekbone,
• nasolabial fold,
• Marionet lines,
• chin area,
• areas under the chin,
• All areas in need separately or in a holistic way.

To Whom Can It Be Applied?

Healthy people with good skin quality in the 30-60 age range are ideal candidates for Thread Face Lift treatment. Cases with signs of facial sagging but not very advanced are preferred for this treatment. Surgical facelift techniques should be considered in more advanced sagging. In a slight sagging, thread suspending provides a sufficient cosmetic improvement, while if the sagging on the face is very advanced, face-neck lift aesthetics should be included in the options. This procedure is a frequently used method to eliminate sagging on the face by focusing on the middle and lower areas of the face.

To Whom It Is Not Applicable?

• to those who are pregnant,
• Those with collagen tissue disease,
• Those who use blood thinners and vitamins (Aspirin, vitamin E, ginko biloba, fish oil, anticoagulant drug intake),
• Those who have insufficient or excessively thick skin support tissue,
• For patients with uncontrolled diabetes.

How long is the processing time?

In the thread face lifting process, the entire treatment varies according to the operation area. It is usually completed in 1-1.5 hours.

Is pain or soreness felt during and after the procedure?

Since the thread face suspension procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain or pain is felt during the treatment.

How long does it persist?

It is reported that its effect lasts up to 2 years. The application can be repeated when necessary.

What are the side effects of the application?

Rarely, some side effects may occur.

• Redness in the application area: It is temporary, resolves in a few hours.
• Subcutaneous hemorrhages: As with any application with a needle, there may be bleeding. For this reason, small bruises can be seen that improve in a short time.
• Pain: Pain is minimal during the procedure. After the procedure, it may be desirable to use pain relievers.
• Bloating: It is temporary. Depending on the given anesthetic agents and the procedure, swelling lasting 24-48 hours may occur.
• Skin folding: Enlarged skin is accompanied more slowly by suspending subcutaneous tissues by thread. Therefore, temporary skin folds may be seen. It usually resolves in 3-7 days. In some cases, this process can take up to 10-12 days.

How long is the permanence of the threads used in the treatment?

In the rope hanging method, we basically offer two different rope options:

• Melting Silhouette Soft: Permanence varies between 18-24 months, depending on the quality of the skin and lifestyle due to melting.
• Non-melting Elastic Spring Thread: It is longer effective because the threads do not melt, its permanence varies between 3-6 years depending on the person.

What should be done after the application?

There are no expected complications other than small bruises that may occur in some patients. After the procedure, the patient can return to his daily life and apply make-up. Afterwards, it is recommended to avoid trauma, rubbing, massage and prone lying for a few weeks.
