What exactly is a thread lift and do you recommend it?

Thread LiftI do not recommend this procedure as it does not last, and leaves permanent ‘cable’ sutures in the face.  Thread lifts were originally intended to repair the underlying saggy cheek and jaw line tissues.  This was done by threading non-absorbable barbed sutures into the deeper soft tissues, to provide ongoing support.

It’s no longer the best option available to correct these issues, and comes with its own set of risks, despite being referred to as less invasive than a typical facelift.  I urge you to consult with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to go over alternate options that may be suitable for your goals.
