Targeted Areas For A Thread Lift
Many people get a thread lift to fix areas on their face that start to sag or look less tight over time.
These areas include:
– jowls and jawline
– brow line
– under-eye area
– forehead
– cheeks
Thread lifts can also be used to lift and tighten the breasts, especially after pregnancy or weight loss.
Are There Any Risks Or Side Effects?
A Facial Threads in Singapore is a low-risk procedure with little recovery time, but there can be side effects and some risks of complications.
After a thread lift, you might experience:
– bruising
– swelling
– bleeding
– slight pain where the threads were placed
There’s a 15 to 20 percent chance of complications, like dimpling.
Most complications are minor and can be easily fixed.
Complications to watch for include:
– allergic reaction to the materials used in the threads
– bleeding that builds up under the skin
– visible dimpling or pulling where the threads are
– threads moving in an unwanted way, causing lumpy or swollen skin
– pain under the skin if the thread is too tight or placed awkwardly
– infection at the treatment area
Of all the risks, infection is the one you should be most careful about.
Call your doctor right away if you see:
– green, black, brown, or red discharge at the treatment site
– swelling that lasts more than 48 hours
– constant headaches
– fever
If you’re worried about complications, go back to the surgeon who did the procedure.
Some people may not be happy with how their face looks after the treatment.
Be sure to talk to your surgeon before the procedure so you know what to expect. Always choose a licensed and qualified surgeon.
What To Expect After A Thread Lift
Recovery from a successful thread lift is very light.
You might see some swelling and bruising, but you can go back to work right away if you want.
You should see results right after the threads are placed, but you may notice more improvement in the days and weeks that follow as the swelling and bruising go down.
The results from a thread lift aren’t permanent.
The effects usually last between 1 to 3 years. Like other dissolvable fillers, the threads will eventually be absorbed by the body.
After the procedure, you can return to your normal routine.
Your provider may suggest you avoid rubbing your face too hard and not sleep on your side for the first few weeks.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends avoiding your daily moisturizer for the first few weeks and sleeping with your head elevated to prevent rolling onto the new threads.
You should also avoid saunas and intense workouts for the first week or so after the procedure.
