The Thread Facelift is a non-surgical face lift procedure whose candidates are all those people that reflect aging signs on their face - the weariness of the skin of the brow, sagging cheeks, falling skin with wrinkles in jowls and neck area. The people who have extremely thin or heavy faces are not the candidates of thread facelift procedure. The Thread facelift is not used in eradicating all ageing related problems but deals mainly in lifting the brows, cheeks, jowls and neck. So if a minimal invasive facelift process is desired that involves no scarring and least downtime as compared to traditional cosmetic procedures, the thread facelift is a good option for you.
The threads used in this procedure are known as contour threads, these threads have small barbs or cogs, which are evenly located. When they are placed underneath the skin, they are hooked in an umbrella like fashion. The tension generates the suspension that smoothly lifts the drooping tissues of the brow and face. Because of exclusive design of the cogs of the threads, the tissues in the adjacent area hold the threads in proper position without any obvious scars.
The thread facelift for the midface requires the surgeon to create a small incision near the ear and the threads are placed in the length of the formerly evident contours toward the chin and jawline, thus they make a solid grasp on the fundamental tissues without causing any supplementary trauma. The cogs in the contour thread facelift then perform their job by holding and by getting fixed to tissue since they are gently contoured into place. When the threads attain their position, the body creates new collagen bundles, which cover each thread to preserve the lifting impression. The surgeon must ensure to use colorless threads that are not visible under the skin, however the accurate placement of the threads fluctuates from patient to patient.
The procedure is speedy and is generally performed under local anesthesia with a slight sedation if desired. The total time needed depends on number of threads used but a normal procedure takes about an hour. Any kind of uneasiness, bruising and swelling are minimal. Ice compresses are advised for first two days and the patients are back to their normal work schedule in a few days to one week. One sitting is enough to attain the wanted lifting effect. The results are lasting and the duration depends on the age, degree of sagging and the number of threads used at the time of procedure, however additional threads can be added if desired. The technique of thread facelift is reversible and unwanted effects can be easily rectified under local anesthesia.
In the feather face-lift procedure, the micro-threads that are positioned in the skin with a needle act by clutching the tissues with a sequence of small mechanism or micro-barbs. The tiny micro-barbs are tied to hold the surface beneath the skin. This allows the skin to be stretched and these micro-ligaments are fixed firmly to the skin beneath the temporal scalp area that bears hair. After some time, the skin contracts in the region of these sutures resulting in a younger and firm look.
In string facelift procedure is a procedure to do a facelift with strings. The notion is to use a permanent purse-string suture firmly fastened to the innate tissues lying over the zygomatic arch to boost up the sagging superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). The procedure requires paramount force to be put forth on the SMAS, and it can be done in a compact place. The String lift procedure make better the sagging facial appearance with no sedation, restricted undermining, speedy recovery, and rare complications.
