Thread Applications
With aging, collagen in the skin decreases, and volume loss occurs in the fat tissue. Additionally, gravity plays a role in the downward sagging of the face. Signs of aging first appear on the face and neck. These can be eliminated with thread lifting techniques.
In thread applications, specialized forms of surgical threads are used. Although thread lifting is a method that shows immediate results, it is possible to achieve a visibly younger appearance by 5–10 years instantly.
Depending on the characteristics of the threads, these procedures are also known as French lift, contour lift, silhouette lift, and spider web aesthetics. Thread lifting on the face and neck is generally used in patients over the age of 35 who do not have severe sagging. Thread lifting should not be considered an alternative to facelift surgery. With appropriate indication and patient selection, both procedures can yield correct results within their own scopes.
How Is It Performed?
Before the procedure, the areas to be lifted with threads are marked. The threads are used with a specialized needle or cannula. The areas through which the cannula or needle will pass are anesthetized with local anesthesia. Once the procedure is complete, massage is applied in the direction of the desired lift, and the procedure is concluded with appropriate dressing. It is a comfortable procedure that takes approximately 30 minutes.
What Should Be Considered After the Procedure?
Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Redness and slight bruising may occur at the needle entry points; these are completely temporary. A feeling of tightness may be felt in the areas where the threads pass. Patients should avoid trauma during the first week after the procedure. Threads have a certain tensile strength, and if exposed to trauma during this period, thread breakage and asymmetry may occur.
