Is Thread Lift right for me?

  • For moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls, jawline, brow or neck when you want an immediate, visible lift without surgery.
  • A single forty-five to sixty-minute procedure under local anaesthetic, with three to seven days of swelling and tightness.
  • The lift is immediate, settles over two weeks, and collagen support keeps it for twelve to twenty-four months.
Overview

Lift today, support for years.

A thread lift gives what no energy device can: a visible lift today. Fine absorbable PDO threads with tiny cogs are placed under the skin and gently drawn upward, repositioning the cheeks, jawline, jowls, brow or neck. The threads then stimulate collagen around them, so the support continues after they dissolve.

It is the minimally invasive alternative to a surgical facelift for moderate laxity: forty-five to sixty minutes under local anaesthetic, a few days of swelling and tightness, and results that last up to two years.

Dr. Fehmida plans the vectors on your face, decides how many threads and where, and will say plainly when a device would do or when surgery would serve you better.

What it treats

What threads can lift.

Good candidates

  • Moderate laxity, typically forties to sixties, with reasonable skin quality.
  • Patients who want a visible lift without a surgical facelift.
  • Anyone who can take a few days off social plans while swelling settles.
  • Those who want results that last well beyond injectables.

Not suitable for

  • Severe laxity or very heavy tissue, where surgery is the honest answer.
  • Very thin skin, where threads may show or ripple.
  • Pregnancy, bleeding disorders or active infection.
  • Recent filler in the same area; timing is planned.
How it works

Anchor, lift, build.

01

Vectors are planned

Dr. Fehmida marks the direction of lift for each area and the number of threads needed.

02

Threads are placed

Under local anaesthetic, cog threads are inserted with a fine cannula and drawn upward to reposition the tissue. The lift is visible on the table.

03

Collagen takes over

Over the following months the body builds collagen around each thread. The threads absorb; the support stays.

Questions patients ask

Thread Lift, answered.

Straight answers from the clinic. If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp.

An immediate, visible lift; no general anaesthetic or scars; collagen stimulation that continues after the threads dissolve; and a result lasting up to two years.

Forty-five to sixty minutes under local anaesthetic.

Twelve to twenty-four months. The threads absorb within six to eight months but the collagen they build maintains the lift.

Immediately, with the final position settling over two weeks as swelling resolves.

The area is numbed with local anaesthetic. Afterwards there is tightness and tenderness for a few days, managed with simple painkillers.

Three to seven days of swelling and possible bruising. Most patients take a few days off social plans; work from home is fine.

Temporary dimpling, asymmetry or a visible thread are the main ones, and are managed at review. Serious complications are rare with correct placement.

Threads lift immediately and mechanically; HIFU tightens gradually with no downtime. For moderate laxity threads win; for early laxity HIFU. Many patients have both.

Pricing depends on the number of threads and areas. The clinic shares the exact fee at the consultation. Ask on WhatsApp for current pricing.
