A thread lift is a minimally invasive facial procedure that dramatically improves the appearance of facial aging, fine lines, wrinkles, and lax or drooping skin to regain the heart-shaped face of youth. Dr. Beauty is a leading provider of thread lifts to Detroit-area patients, with treatments performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mariam Awada.
What is a Thread Lift?
Thread lifts are the process of using temporary, dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten the skin in areas like the forehead, brows, cheeks, nose, jowls, and neck. Unlike a traditional facelift, a thread lift does not involve incisions or extensive recovery time. Instead, thin threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are inserted into the skin with a needle, creating an immediate lifting effect as they reposition underlying tissues for a more youthful appearance.
PDO also stimulates collagen, a protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and plump. As the threads dissolve over time, the increased collagen production helps maintain the lifted effect, offering long-term improvement in skin texture and elasticity.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Thread Lift?
A suitable patient for thread lift facial rejuvenation at Dr. Beauty will want to correct one or more of the following signs of facial aging:
- Drooping, aging skin with loss of volume
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Lack of definition in the jawline or a double chin
- Indented nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lax neck skin
Thread lift candidates should also be in good physical and mental health. Additionally, they should accurately understand the possible results, risks, and costs related to the treatment.
Your Thread Lift Consultation
A thread lift consultation at Dr. Beauty will involve an assessment of your face. You and Dr. Awada will talk about your skin concerns and cosmetic goals. She will carefully evaluate the areas of your face that you are interested in rejuvenating. You will be asked about your complete medical history to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective for you.
The Thread Lift Procedure
Meticulous measurement is involved in achieving your facial aesthetic ideal. Dr. Mariam Awada will measure where the needles will be placed and administer a local anesthetic so you feel no pain.
Through a small poke, she gently moves the special collagen-producing thread through predestined areas on the skin; the string is then pulled and tied at its exit to lift and reposition facial skin. In time, the string will dissolve and produce collagen, improving skin elasticity to reverse signs of aging.
Thread Lift Aftercare
After your treatment, you can freely resume your work or daily activities without any need for recovery. However, avoid taking a shower or washing your hair during the first 24 hours to allow the threads to fully adjust into the deeper layers of the skin.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of a thread lift can last 6 to 18 months. Depending on Dr. Awada’s recommendation, you may be able to return for another thread lift treatment to maintain your youthful glow.
