For those of you don’t know, not all cosmetic procedures are super invasive. If you’re on the fence about whether to book any type of plastic surgery because it feels scary in any way shape or form, you might want to explore a minimally invasive option, like a thread lift. 

Dubbed by some as a “lunchtime lift,” this alternative to a traditional face lift is a good way to explore the benefits of cosmetic surgery without actually committing to a more invasive procedure. 

Let us take you through what you can expect and why a thread lift might be the best option for you at this time. 

The Finer Details of a Thread Lift

By inserting medical-grade suture thread under your skin, Dr. Zelinger is able to gently pull up and tighten any loose or saggy areas for a firmer and healthier appearance. A thread lift is ideal for targeting sagging eyebrows, loosening neck skin, jowls, or any premature sagging of your overall facial structure. 

Quick and low-risk, this procedure does not require anesthesia and the results are immediate. By opting for a thread lift both men and women can combat unwanted wrinkles without downtime or the risk of scarring. 

Keep in mind that the results are temporary; however, they do last between one to three years, during which time the threads simply absorb into your body.

Am I a Candidate for a Thread Lift?

Ideal candidates for a thread lift procedure include men and women in their late 30s to early 50s who are concerned about any premature aging or what we diagnose as facial skin laxity. It’s important that anyone electing a thread lift procedure over an actual face lift understands the results will not be dramatic. 

If you have certain medical conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes, or are taking hormone replacement therapy, a thread lift is a perfect alternative to a face lift.
