Through the two needles, the bi-directional threads are inserted, making sure the thread and its barbs do not get ‘caught’ and do not damage. Also, the depth of the needle is at all times maintained at the same sub dermal level, gliding just above the fat layer.Ī similar needle is passed about one to one and a half centimetres above this line. As this needle is advanced, it is actually progressed in a sinuous manner, moving the needle tip from side to side. The last is the author's most preferred method.Ī spinal needle is inserted under appropriate anaesthesia from the pre-tragal area, in a curved direction to a point below the cheek, and then up again towards a point stopping just short of the smile line. At most other times, if the patient is willing for a longer day care stay, twilight IV sedation with local anaesthetic is given.
When a lunch time thread lift alone has been planned, only a local anaesthetic can be infiltrated along the expected track. When several other procedures are being done simultaneously, one can choose a general anaesthesia. The anaesthesia chosen differs depending upon the patient, the surgeon and any associated procedures. Some surgeons promote the thread lift as a “lunchtime lift” or “weekend facelift.” Usually it can be performed in about one hour.Ī classical example of their use is to lift the cheeks. Thread lifts cost less and require less downtime for many people. It is, perhaps, better considered as a lesser, or preliminary procedure. Thread lifts emerged recently because many people would like a facelift, but can't afford it or don't want the long recovery time of the standard facelift. Younger people may experience cheek and brow ptosis (sagging, here caused by weakened muscles) as well.įor these people especially, a thread lift may be a good alternative to the more invasive procedures necessary to correct problems in older people's faces. The lack of elasticity brings with it the departure of certain face-shaping supports. The face thus loses some of its elasticity.

The elastic fibres in the skin undergo a type of “breakdown”. As the skin ages, the connective tissue in the skin becomes thinner. The result is a longer, older-looking face.
The affected areas generally include the cheeks, the eyebrows and other areas around the eyes, the jowls and the neck. As we age, our facial support structure weakens, and we lose facial fat.
