Thread Lift as Face Lift Alternative

Face lift surgery is becoming more popular as more men and women across the country and around the world seek ways to reverse the effects of sun exposure, aging, and gravity. Our face is our window to the world and we all want to look and feel younger. If you are wondering if plastic surgery is right for you, you may want to consider the less invasive thread lift procedure. It delivers the results of a face lift without the time and without many of the potential risks.

Once very popular, thread lifts are no longer as common as they used to be. Cosmetic surgery has become more financially feasible for a lot of people and delivers more dramatic results. However, thread lift still has its place in elective cosmetic surgery and may be a viable option for many potential cosmetic surgery patients.

One of the biggest advantages of thread lift is that it is a very quick procedure and can be done over a lunch break or within an hour. This is attractive to people that can’t afford to (or don’t want to) spend a lot of time away from their work and home responsibilities. Recovery from face lift surgery can be painful. Returning to work early may be embarrassing as your face may still show the telltale signs of your recent procedure. For men and women that want to keep the fact that they are artificially turning back the hands of time, thread lift is a popular way to keep their secret.

Thread lift also has significantly less risks than traditional face lift procedures because it is less invasive and doesn’t require the use of general anesthesia. Many of the risks of surgery are eliminated simply due to the fact that it is quick and easy and requires less skill than the incisions of a more dramatic procedure. Some say the biggest risk of thread lift is not being able to discern any remarkable improvement. You may look exactly the same as you did at the start. This can be disappointing, but is often not much of a financial risk due to the face that thread lift is less expensive than face lift.

The basic procedure of thread lift is to use barbed suture at particular points in the face in order to lift sagging skin. The skin may be on or around eyebrows, eyelids, neck jowls, smile creases, or excess skin between the nose and the cheek. Each of these areas can show dramatic improvement and return years to your appearance with just a little lift. One of the benefits of this procedure over face lift is that there aren’t any incisions, so there are no scars or telltale lines left behind.
