You will be happy to know that in this
modern era, facelift is not confined to surgery. Face lifting can be achieved
via surgery, injectables and thread. While injectable facelift has been
discussed before, we would like to concentrate on thread lift.
This technique is actually not new but
constant refinement to the technique is being carried out to enable the effect
of the lift to be better and longer lasting.
The procedure is carried out in an outpatient basis. After the consult,
numbing cream is applied onto the face to minimize discomfort. Fine thread is
then introduced in an aseptic technique to suspend the supporting tissue on the
face. As the thread used is fine and self-absorbable, they do not need to be
removed. Depending on the condition of the patient, this procedure generates
high satisfaction amongst its users and the down time is minimal. The procedure
takes 30-60 minutes to complete and the patient can go back to work immediately
after the procedure.
Thread lift is an option to patients who
wish to have a facelift without undergoing surgery. Like many other
non-invasive procedures, it can be performed on an outpatient basis and the
downtime is minimal. It is no wonder that it is one of the most popular
facelift currently.
